Mod post

This post is for people who want to play more general roleplays, I'm leaving this unstructured, to play please comment with who you play (even if you think it should be obvious from your icon/username) and what sort of interaction you're looking for.

If someone wants more structure/to take over handling general roleplays please ask and I'll be happy to add at least one mod for this.

Heh, poor Foggy. Why does Matt have him doing his laundry though? Or do they just share a hamper and throw it all in together and take turns? (If that's the case, Foggy would probably have to be then responsible for separating things out afterward) I honestly don't know how that would work, I never had a roommate at uni, it's not really a thing that happens here. But yeah, that could be funny, especially when Foggy finds out about Mike and it turns out the think he's most pissed about isn't being lied to, or the fact that he 'borrowed' a bunch of his text books, but those extra loads of laundry he had to do!

Strange how certain things attract different genders. It's a shame really, you'd think society should be past that by now, but there are definitely some jobs seen as for men and some as for women by large groups of people. I think things will look very different in a few generations..! :-)

I was thinking that they had separate hampers. They could be the kind that have wheels. (I live in an apartment complex and don't have a personal laundry hook up so my SO goes to his parents to do laundry - probably what inspired it.) Anyway, I was thinking that it's hard to navigate with a cane and the wheels, plus, the college laundromat is always crowded and I bet it'd be really hard to tell which machines are free and which are filled with laundry waiting to go to the next step. (At one of my old apartments, I would do my laundry at the shared coin machines... This girl would leave her stuff unattended in the machines. The load was done, but it was just sitting there... grr...) Oh, and maybe he really had to feel around inside to make sure it was empty? He couldn't just look. (At least, not when Foggy's there.)

I was thinking Foggy, having went with Matt the first time and seeing how difficult it was decided he'd do it to be nice, and Matt only had a little bit. (Didn't he arrive with only one bag?) Matt probably paid him in laundry detergent and coins for both their loads. (& Maybe Matt folded all their clothes sometimes?) It's just when things were getting bogged down with stupid that maybe Foggy cared. LOL. (I'm thinking Mike picked up those awful clothes at Salvation Army real cheap... Maybe one of the collared shirts is this ugly floral number that Mike decides he actually likes. lol.)

Yeah, I don't really get why there aren't a lot of women. Honestly, I was expecting somewhere closer to a 50/50 split and was shocked. There also isn't much of the older returning crowd either - usually they're going back for accounting, it seems. (Why would you want to go for accounting, you poor, poor, soul, I keep thinking. LOL Though, it is useful, and I'm sure they're thinking the same about me.) I think it's the possibility of maybe having to learn some programming languages and/or computer science that scares away the women. (Which neither is actually required, but yeah, it's a good idea to get some background in one or both.) Really, everything is logical in my major and just sounds scarier than it is. :)

This all makes total sense. It's been a while since I used a laundromat, those occasions I have, I've gone at stupid times to avoid the crowds. But yeah, in a busy one, Matt would definitely have trouble. They could maybe go together sometimes, because I bet Matt wouldn't want to feel like Foggy was having to help him with stuff, but other times Foggy might just do it for him, maybe because Matt's got loads to do or whatever, and since Foggy's going anyway, no harm in just taking the extra load too. But when that extra load gets bigger, it turns into a bit of a pain. Plus, when Mike does revel himself, he can thank Foggy for being such a good maid or something and really piss him off! hehe.

Oh yes on cheap, second hand clothes. I bet Mike gets all his stuff somewhere like that, and he saves the worst ones for Matt. But Mike deciding he likes one of them is ace. And maybe Foggy sees him in it one time after he knows about him, and for a second thinks it's Matt, and that Mike's got him again!

Weirdly, I know a few people who have gone back to school to do accounting. It must be a thing people do..!

A really sad thing people do! :p (I know, I was one, the first time around for quite a bit...)

I love Foggy upset about a few loads of laundry... I imagine them as reluctant friends, or pretend frenemies eventually.

LOL Yes - even after Matt's out of the awful clothes, Foggy still associating that with him, too... OMG Love it.

Oops, just noticed the anon fail. Do we have to be anon here? Was late at night and I forgot I was logged in. Sigh.

No, you don't have to be anon here.

I was expecting traditional rpers to use this post with a character account, but this is still welcome.

If it's easier, I can start logging in - I've had a dream-width account since 2009... Just never used it for anything much, really. lol (Was more of a LiveJournal-er back in the day... Was just checking on my old lj intro page I wrote in '08 - it talks about me reading Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr... law nerd... Omg...embarrassing...)

From: (Anonymous)

Can do, logged in can be easier for tracking stuff, but makes no real difference. I only got a dreamwidth account very recently, I'm still on livejournal, been there since about 2004. I just imported my blog over because I know a few people on here and it gives you the option to copy your entries to both blogs in one go. I figure with 12 years of entries I really don't want to lose, it doesn't hurt to have a backup.
