Ah, housecleaning.

What would normal people say? Oh, yes. "I put Christmas lights up on the ceiling in my room in the shape of a star. It looks kick-ass!"

I, on the other hand, "inscribed a permanent pentagram of light upon the ceiling of my temple."

Yeah, it looks kick-ass. I really need to take it down, though, and replace bulbs in one of the strings of lights, because about 3/4 of them don't light up, and it would be just damn stupid to do the work on a chair about to fall over onto whatever lies beneath.

You Know You've Been Around Your Roommate A Lot When:

...your friend tells you that he's been having an absolutely crazy day, the printers are breaking down once every three uses, and it's absolutely nuts, and you take a look at the day of the week and the date and burst out laughing.

"Huh?"

"Monday the seventeenth."

...and then he cracks up too, and then you both realize that it's a new moon...
