Na-Na's Roomies*

[intertribal]

So as I mentioned in the comments of my last post, I'm going to be living with multiple people no matter where I end up next year. Thus part of what I'm considering (in addition to rent, ease of access to public transportation/school/amenities, neighborhood, condition of the room/house) is compatibility with the people I'll be living with. So: anybody have any suggestions on questions to ask potential roommates? Serious questions ("are you ok with overnight guests?") and non-serious questions ("do you enjoy fava beans and a nice chianti with your liver?") all accepted.

*: Bonus points for anybody who gets the reference in the title.

Are you light sleepers?
How loud is music before it's too loud?
And tell them something about yourself, too. "I don't think I snore, sleepwalk, or do strange things in the night." Unless of course you do. ;-)

No bonus points for me, I'm afraid.

Re: bonus points - it's a reference to "Yo-Yo's Roomies," the title of a hilarious chapter of Catch-22 where Yossarian ends up with incredibly annoying/childish new roommates.

I shouldn't have missed that. Have to admit I was thinking along the lines a pop song by, perhaps, Lady Gaga. Though after getting to know you over the last year I should've thought it was a lit reference. *g*

A pop song! *so offended* Actually, that would have been a fair guess, I used to always use song lyrics as LJ post titles. But I don't know any roommate songs!

As you should be. ;-)

Anyway, hope everything works out with your new living arrangements. Keep us posted.
