So, I'm moving starting now.. I am paying two rental contracts for the month of April, which wouldn't be so bad, except that the government wants to tax my graduate student stipend and is collecting on that this month too...
But I'm getting a new roommate. For privacy purposes, I won't mention his full name.
Because that could be awkward.
And lead to further potential embarrassment.
Which might compound the existing potential sympathetic embarrassment one might feel after a quick google of his name in association with BYU.
I felt that if I was going to be roommates with this guy, I was at least allowed to do a quick background check with some assistance from google.
There are no results for his name and "serial rapist".
And although a search for his name and "serial killer boston" did return a recent post in HFTM (Help Find the Missing), I don't think that my future roommate is the 74-year-old man with dementia who went missing on December 30, 2009. Although I guess anything is possible.
However, with regards to his undergraduate alma mater, the first few links were respectable links to articles acknowledging his winning of "the premier undergraduate award of its type" - the Goldwater scholarship.
The next links were interesting.
One was to a page with his name and this video:
And another was a link to this video:
My future roommate and I are both on the heterosexual marriage track, which predispositions our roommateship to be one of brevity. However, when the time come for us to part ways, I hope I will be able to agree with the male person who was caught on video wearing a red tshirt sitting in a hot tub full of otherwise unclothed boys and soda.
"It was life-changing."
