I stayed in several apartments in college, but the one I remember for having the most interesting time and definitely the most interesting roommates (or rather apt mates!) was when Erin, Aynne, Patrick and me staying in this beautiful house with a lovely garden at the back, and an attic with a double sized waterbed and a huge, huge aircraft propeller fan as an exhaust. It was one of those creative peculiarities that made the combination so great. It was a five-bedroom house and this fifth bedroom with the waterbed was unoccupied, so was a great haunt for all our get-togethers. Waterbeds are one of the most fun things ever invented and it was kind of sad to see them fade away from mainstream culture. I do wish waterbeds would become more popular again and even though they are a bit cumbersome to install or move, they are definitely worth all the effort.
