Full house.
"Have you ever witnessed any paranormal activity while you've lived in this house?"
"No I haven't, but you might want to ask the landlord."
Finally, we have the full complement of tenants in the house. In the end, there were three men competing for that one last room, but only one could win. Ah, may the others find good homes for themselves! They played the game well.
"There are a few questions we usually ask in housemate interviews. One thing I like to know is whether or not a person knows how to clean up after themselves."
"I've been in the Navy for four years."
"Yeah, that's kinda why I didn't ask you that question."
Actually, each of the first two of those men almost signed the lease, but postponed their decision for some reason. There is some speculation that one or both may have been a little squicked by the sight of a same-sex couple walking through the room. The landlord wonders how to deal with situations like this--should he mention that, by the way, there's a gay person living here, just in case that's a problem? Personally, I think he should be less specific. Mention that, like most people in their twenties and thirties, many of the housemates are either having sex or thinking about it; inevitably one or more housemates will make romantic decisions you disapprove of, so the question becomes: can you live with that fact?
(I was mildly amused by the landlord's comment last night that there's at least one gay person living here, and at least one straight person living here, but he has no idea what I am. The truth, of course, is that I'm gonna die an old maid. I have chemistry with no-one. I am as a noble gas, kin to neon and argon and xenon (warrior princess).)
"This is really awkward."
"Yes, you're being judged without mercy as we speak. So, how do you like the weather we're having?"
Anyway, the housemate interviews are done. No more awkward, three-hour-long discussions where landlord, tenants, and prospective housemate each try to think of some question that would reveal whether this person should be living in the house or should be chased away by angry villagers with spades and pitchforks.
"Do you perform any strange rituals?"
"Well, I am an actor."
"But no ritual goat sacrifices or anything like that?"
"No, my rituals mostly involve talking to the walls."
"That's good. As you'll see in the lease, you're not allowed to have pets."
"Ah, but sacrificial goats are not pets!"
"Hmmm... you're right. I may need to rewrite the lease to close that loophole."
"Ha ha! I can sacrifice goats in my room anytime I want!"
"Make sure you don't get bloodstains in the carpeting, okay?"
"On that note, I really have to be somewhere else now..."
"No I haven't, but you might want to ask the landlord."

therefore you must listen to me, the chemistry prophetess!! *waves hands around magically*... intones: you'll find someone someday who can see you for the wonderful person you are... and actually be bondable :) in the meantime think of all the heartache you're saving yourself! ;) ;) *hugs*
