One time she said something to me like:

"Omg, let me buy you a new shirt, that one's awful!"

Me: "Why don't you let me buy you a new face - that one's awful."

She's stuck on herself, and she's self important and cocky and literally EVERYONE hates her. She thinks she's THE most talented and THE smartest and THE most attractive person in the entire world. The fact is, she can't sing, dance or act, and she's stupid as hell, and uglier than sin.

One is Cancer, my step dad, the other Virgo, my grandpa. I love them both but geeeesh gets frustrating I'll tell ya lol

My Saggi friend's mum is an Aqua. They have some kinda arguments those two. I never know what to say. I just sit there feeling awkward while they scream at each other. But then she involves me. She always says things like "see what he does Lauren? see? see?" lol and expects me to agree with her. Then he gives me daggers so that I don't agree lol It's very annoying sometimes.

In her defence though, he really is very messy. When I was at his house he couldn't even open the door to his room, because there were too many clothes and books and stuff all over the place so the door was jammed.

Anyhoo Good luck with Miss Aqua BR..maybe she has a crush on you and is frustrated because you're gay so she takes it out on you with little things like dishwashing ..just an idea lol

Haha, I hattttttttte her.

When we had our Halloween dance thingie - The Masquerade Ball - I didn't have a costume or whatever. I didn't have the money, but I had to be there because I'm in FAME (Drama Club).

This was our conversation on THAT:

Her: "I don't know why you even BOTHER if you don't have a costume." (read: condescending)

Me: "I don't have the money for a costume, you want to buy me one?" (Think snarky, and abrasive.)

Her: *snaps fingers at me* "Don't you get smart with me!" (Yelling)

Me: "You're the one who ******* STARTED this, you ***** !"

I know some here have commented that many Aquarians aren't very neat, but personally, every one I have known ARE obsessed with living in exceptionally clean surroundings.

Next, don't answer your cell phone or any other phone when she calls you during the day to ask about whether the dishes are done. Let it go to voicemail enough times and she will give up but be careful, she might be standing behind the door when you come in, ready to pounce...every Aquarius I have ever known is very good about checking to see if something is/has been followed up on...

Next, stand up to her. Be firm. I know this is a challenge for peace-loving you, but ya gotta do it. An Aquarius will back down for sure (and secretly respect you unless they don't have a brain, which we know they do) once she sees you're not cowering. Be logical, (we Saggies are good at this) straightforward (we're good at this too) and most importantly, unemotional (not so easy, especially if she's annoying the h*ll out of you, but do it, you're a guy so no problem).

And, park YOUR motorcycle in the living room! (that's hilarious!) An Aquarian's logic makes sense only to them...(gotta love 'em all!)

Keep us updated on how it's going

And if that doesn't work, go to the landlord! If worse came to worse, and you kept the landlord apprised of the situation, he might be more understanding if you *did* have to break the lease.

Unfortunately our landlord is terrible, and has a lot of animosity towards my other roommate, i doubt he would care.

Since she shuts off the lights if I leave a room for 5 mins, I calculated how much money it saves to do this. I presented her my findings, and she tried to make up all kinds of weird arguements like, "i cna't turn off a light bulb in my own house, " and "how do i know thats what it costs to power a light bulb in OUR house?" I just kept telling her that it really upsets me and my roommate, then she said "i don't understand why you're doing this?" (she can't understand why anyone would ever not do exactly as she says)

BR, I've been in Portland for three years and I love it here. Quite a switch for me, I grew up in the Bay Area, just south of San Francisco. Yes, Portland is very liberal...the farther out you get, though and it gets verrrrry conservative...

Beautiful and green, you don't have to go very far for scenery and a nice hike, skiing or bike ride. Bike trails all throughout the city. It's very people-friendly for people who are active outdoors.

It really depends on your personality. However, it is good to pick people who are in a situation similar to your own. If you pick people lazier than yourself, then you may feel yourself dragged down a bit. If on the other hand you pick people more ambitious than yourself, you may feel a bit challenged to keep up. Either can be draining.

In a lot of ways making sure you gel well with your roommate's personalities goes a long way towards having some peace at home.

BR ~ What a freak! Ugh. Instead of arguing with her, just nip it in the bud. Say;

"Listen, there are more important things in the world to worry about. I need you to leave me alone." walk away.

"Listen, get off my back." end of story. walk away.

"Why don't you spend your energy on more important things like feeding the hungry. Leave me alone." leave the room.

If you are feeling feisty, say, "get a life!" What about a job? Does she work? I am kind of older, and when I was in high school people used to say, "get a job" which meant, "get a life".

Etc. etc. Good luck
