I am a straight guy who has been living with three straight women for the past two years. People always ask the question whether I think about hooking up with my roommates and the truth is we’re all too close for that to happen. We’re practically siblings. We get along great and we “just don’t go there.”
What I *don’t* tell people is that there is one sexual activity that happens in our apartment, and it involves all four of us.
Nut Up and Shut Up is a game invented by my roommate Abby. To understand the game, you have to know that Abby likes things quiet when she gets back from work. She has a stressful job at a law office, and when she gets home all she wants to do is fall onto the living room couch and decompress.
Jen and Annie are the opposite: They’re both tellers at the same bank, and they are bored most of the day. When they walk in the door, they basically host a daytime talk show. They want to hear how everyone’s day was, laugh uncontrollably, and talk over themselves. I find it endearing.
