Top five reasons having a lesbian roommate rocks:

1. Unlimited free passage of Ani DiFranco and Indigo Girls cds from her bedroom to yours.

2. Accurate consultation in romantic issues, from the side of the suitor and the suited.

3. Without prompting, asks if you’ve ever heard of her favourite girl-on-girl porn sites and then offers to show them to you.

4. Absolutely no chance of romantic entanglement. None.

5. Potential hints, corrections, and suggestions about your interactions with the female erogenous zones, if you’re brave enough to ask.
