When is a roommate not a roommate?

Today I told my roommate I wanted to move out. It stressed me out for the last day. I didn't sleep very well and had no appetite all day. Roommates are a strange relationship. She knows my space, how I fold my clothes, the bad TV I will watch, every mood I have, but ultimately we are in a business arrangement. I met her through a friend and thankfully we've really enjoyed living together. But now she wants a house and I want to pay less money. Our timetables are not matching up very well, but, ultimately, this is a business arrangement, and we will each do what's best for our own situation. I don't know what to think of it.

Observation #6

Can anyone pull off a "new look"? Today I wore the $3 minidress I bought at the outlet mall with some capri jeans and a sweater. It is a look I've seen others wear and wanted to try it. I thought I looked supercute. And, more importantly, I felt good wearing it. I also saw a friend with bangs who is trying it out after years without them. I think she looks great. I think with enough confidence and if you like it, you can pull off any look you want, just new or completely out there.
