I moved into this place in August. It was a rather quick decision because they were in a crunch to find a roommate pretty fast. I found the ad on Craigslist and met the girl who owns the house with her Mom and it all seemed hunky dory. After about a day of thinking I signed the contract and moved in a month later. It's a 4bd/2ba house with three other girls and we all have our own room. The girl who owns the house (Larisa) had her life long friend Morgan move into one of the rooms and the other room was filled by Morgan's friend Mindy. (Side note - I always want to say Mork and Mindy instead of Morgan and Mindy. Props to you if you are a dork and know what I'm referring to.) Okay so here is some advice: DO NOT live with your bff. Okay? These girls were friends forEVER and now they cannot stand each other. One is a an architect/dancer/superbusyallthetime/takeshomerandomcats/toomuchonherplate person. The other is a promiscuous/moodswing/takeshomerandomcatstoo/odd/sewingfiend person. They criticize each other about their lifestyles because we all know how when you live with someone that their true self comes out. Basicsally I feel stuck in the middle of all of it but at the same time I feel like Morgan thinks I'm siding with Larisa on most things. I'm not siding, I just tend to agree with Larisa. For example, Larisa is moving to SD in a little over a month and we have to find a new roommate. Mindy and Mo want one of their own friends to take the room but the guy they had in mind is a thirty year old car salesman who is currently living with his parents. He freaked me out a bit and Larisa felt the same way. There is a girl named Mackenzie who is interested in the room so hopefully we will rent to her. All of us are home right now and Im scared to leave my room in case I run into Morgan.

Have you ever had to deal with situations similar to this with roommates? How did you handle it? Do you advice on how I should deal with this?

I feel myself worrying about my weight again. Twice in the past three days someone has commented on my being thin. When they say this I think they are crazy. I can see that bulge again in my stomach. I understand that I'm seeing something different than what everyone else sees. But its as if I think they are lying or aren't looking properly. I mean, if I look in the mirror and that's what I see, isn't it real? I'm not sure whats happening.

Mom decided that we are going to have a garage sale soon. I went through all my clothes and dear god do I need to go shopping. I couldn't believe how many of my clothes had holes in them or didn't fit me anymore. I also realized that when I went thrift shopping the other day that I'm still buying clothes that are too big for me. Two of the three shirts I got for myself were at least two sizes too big. I need to win a shopping spree at Forever 21! Oh, and my shoes! I realized that I'm still wearing my black flats that I wore to prom...four years ago. I keep my shoes for years and years until they are totally worn out. Blarghhh.
