Better than the alternative?
So, my new roommate, who is quite nice, is also a touch odd. And naive. She's been here a week and a half, so we're starting to get settled. She's nice, her boyfriend is nice, all is pretty much well. Especially after the chaos of the previous roommate.
However.
She was this tendency to talk about me as though I'm not in the room... When the only two people in the room are us. For example, the other night I was cooking at the stove, and she was putting groceries away. We'd been small-talking when she opened the tea/coffee/snack cupboard. "Ooo!" she exclamed. "She has marshmallows!" (I guess it's really the tea/coffee/snack/marshmallow cupboard?) "Yes," I responded, assuming that the she was me, since I do keep marshmallows in there. "They're kind of stale, but you're welcome to them."
Things like this happen a lot.
