I am "never here"
My roommate "Zack" (not the one responsible for the tub) suddenly decided to move back home to Chicago... like, tomorrow. So in my boredom, I decided to search Craigslist for the ad that "Slater" would post to replace Zack. I just searched my neighborhood and found it pretty quickly. Mostly, I wanted to know how Slater would describe me in an ad to find a subletter.
The ad is pretty standard: exaggerated features, misleading photos, what have you*. But Slater's description of me?
"We currently have one other bedroom occupied by a girl who is never here."
Hm. I sort of wish it were more... juicy. Oh well!
:-)
* What an odd phrase. How the hell did that come to mean "etc."?

So, you mean "My roommate 'Slater'" and you're Zack, or is Zack the one leaving and Slater the one staying?
I LOVE that you named both of your roommates after Saved by the Bell characters! Does this make you Kelly Kapowski?
And hey, at least you have that Cake song written about you! (Never There)
AND- this is going to sound stupid, but I totally thought that I like, invented (or in the very least popularized) the asterisk/footnote sarcastic comment trick but have come to realise that no only do many of my friends use it, but it's in the new Stephen Colbert book!!!
Aight, gonna go comment on your next post.
