What could go wrong? Rooming with friends had to be easier than living with strangers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWell, apparently friendly roommates fight sometimes. They make messes and dig into painful pasts and expose failures and simply make a guy feel as human as he really is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut sometimes they light up the path to self-discovery, and they lead a guy to places he needs to go but was always afraid to venture. Sometimes they make a guy feel like a superhero and not a disaster. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlong the way, they might melt down, get kidnapped, or run away from home.
