LA Story part II

Filed under: Life — Hawkwind @ 01:48:32 pm

So we've officially been in LA for about a week. I always forget how many people I know in every town until I get there. It must be from all my PR experience. Little known fact is that I am a people person. Some people may disagree but I call those people assholes.

Luckily I've had a bunch of friends come through town. Last week it was my old band the Intelligence www.intheredrecords.com and this week Kelley Stoltz who I signed to Sub Pop when I worked there. Seeing Kelley was great because it reminded me of when we were all in Amsterdam together. Me and their bass player stayed up all night with these two chicks in Rotterdam and when I finally got on the train back to Amsterdam I passed out and missed my stop by a few hours. I've never woken up so tired and confused. Well except for all the other times.

It's been a weird adjustment, but I'm digging the weather and so far everyone seems really cool and friendly. We'll talk about that next week but for now we have this week's question from a fellow friendsation member:

Q: Is it a bad idea for a chick to get an apartment with guy friends?

My lease is about to run out, and I'm considering living with two
guys. I've been friends with them for years, and we've never hooked
up. They're not especially cute, and I probably wouldn't fuck either
of them (unless severely drunk). Is living with guys a terrible idea?
-Jen

P.S. Things to consider:
- They're not huge slobs.
- I'm fucking one of their friends regularly.
- I'm smarter/hotter than them.

A: This is a very timely topic as Lindsey has just moved in with two guys and will probably be able to give you some firsthand advice.

I think guys make better roommates then girls in general. We're more laid back about things like rent and we tend to do our own thing. Say you were at home working on something for school and your girl roomate comes home. There's a good half hour there where you're gonna have to hear all about her day thus taking away your time to get your work done. Guys, when we come home we just go to our rooms and watch TV.

You shouldn't worry about fucking these guys since you've already made it clear that you wouldn't unless you were really drunk. Your main problem to consider when living with guys is our cleanliness or lack thereof. I consider myself to be a pretty clean guy, but I'm constantly being told by women to clean my bathroom.

You say they're not huge slobs, but you've made that observation as an outsider. It's kinda like when you go to the zoo. That monkey cage looks pretty clean from the outside but when you get behind that glass and have to take a shit is there anywhere clean to sit down? Does a dirty toilet bother you? How bout piss stains on the floor in the bathroom. Girls hate those and the sad truth is that all guys miss occasionally.

here's a quick list of things/stains you're sure to encounter when living with guys.

beer cans
vomit on the back of the toilet and floor
mounds of weird hair
zits that have been popped onto the bathroom mirror
blood stained toilet paper
live crabs in the bathtub (I ate them later)
used condoms (I left those alone)

Basically my point is that you're gonna have to get used to some really nasty stuff. If you can handle it you'll be fine. Most women can't though.

Oh and by the way I'm sure you'll end up fucking one of these guys too.

You always do.
