Living With Roommates After The Separation

After I separated and divorced from my ex-husband, Mathew Lorenceau, I lived with Uncle Soukanh in Canoga Park. Then I had a string of apartments with various people. I had the pleasure of living with my friends: Rambo, Patrick, Dustin, Robert, Nancy, Johnny, and Karen. All of them I shared fond memories with. Of course, we had our bad moments too.


The Original Trio



The First 4 Roommates



My first apartment was with Rambo, Patrick, and Dustin. We were the original roommates. Rambo had a roommate before asking all three of us to move in with him. Rambo's ex roommate was giving him problems and he just moved out a month or two before we moved in. After a month he lived there (December 2006), Dustin wanted to move back home to Missouri.Rambo and Patrick left to go work a season of Ultimate Fighter for a couple of months. I started to see Robert, a friend of mine that I knew through my ex husband, Mathew. We started seeing each other while I was home alone. Robert was different, he cared for me and respected me a lot more. The way he acted shows that he loves me. We started dating February 2007 and then he soon moved in March. After working a season of Ultimate Fighter, Rambo and Patrick came back home and we had fun hanging out.  Among them was going to Santa Monica Pier, going out to eat, being part of a reality show that never aired on TV and making our own commercial to submit to a ketchup contest.



The second set of 4 roommates






At the end of summer 2007, Patrick started dating Patricia, a girl he met through Craigslist.com. She started sleeping over, from the first night they slept together. As the days continued, her little corner of stuff started growing bigger and it spread across the living room and the rest of the apartment from Patrick's sofa bed. I didn't like it very much. It wasn't technically my apartment. I just pay rent to Rambo and he was hardly there most of the time. She took showers, watched tv and went online in the apartment and stayed living there for free for 4-5 months. It totally aggravated and annoyed the hell out of me. She was not only living there without official permission but she was a slob. She couldn't clean up after herself at all. She leaves a mess wherever she went. I usually had to clean up after them. At first, I can handle one slob, which was Patrick. But dealing with two slobs was worse.


Patrick and Patricia (The Pats)

At the end, I couldn't take it anymore and I exploded and went hysterical towards the Pats. They ended up moving out along side Rambo. Rambo couldn't afford living in LA while he was living half the time in Las Vegas and the other half of the time in Los Angeles so he decided to officially move back to Las Vegas to live with his family. Dustin and Robert went to live with the Pats in another 2 bedroom apartment nearby while I became to be homeless living out of my car.
