Tonight on gmail I was talking to one of our friends who is getting married in a few weeks. He told me I could post our conversation, as long as I kept it anonymous :)
Him: So I think I'm sick of roommates.
Me: I know what you mean. Why in particular?
Him: I have a list. [at this point I am laughing out loud...]
1. When I wake up in the morning, I don't want to see a guy.
Me: A good start to this list.
Him: 2. Guys smell bad.
3. Roommates feel no obligation to clean the apartment.
Me: Ha! I'm liking this list, please continue.
Him: 4. You almost have to schedule time to be in your own living room.
Me: Seriously.
Him: 5. Your cupboards are full of food that you aren't allowed to eat.
6. Your closet is full of stuff that isn't yours.
Me: And your fridge is full of rotting food that you aren't allowed to throw away!
Him: Yes!
7. There is always a conflict in schedules...I may need to be at my desk working on something and my roommate may need to go to bed, or I need to go to bed and my roommate is inclined to entertain people.
Needless to say, Husband and I were highly entertained by this list. We just had to post it! I'm sure that many of you can relate. I had some great roommates over the years (and some not-so-great roommates), but I'm glad that those days are behind me!

Also, the nicest person you'll ever meet!!
I went straight from home to marriage, so I never had the roommate experience. I have to say, though, that I feel sure I would prefer Cory to anyone else. Being married is so nice. :)
