My bed didn't have a bedknob (the headboard wasn't shaped like that) so I would put a bracelet on the corner and spin it and pretend that was the same.

I'm in the opposite position - for the past three years I've lived with one of my college friends, and now she's moving at the end of our lease, while I've just gotten a job that will let me stay in the same place and pay the rent on my own. But I've loved living with a roommate! Yeah, we both annoy each other a little, but I will be lonely! But I also don't want to find a roommate who's a stranger.

I'm American, but I think it's "War of American Independence", "American Revolutionary War", or "American Revolution."

FYI, I don't know how representative these views are, but I'm reading "Life Mask" now, a novel set in the 1790s whose main and supporting cast are mostly reform-minded English Whigs, and they are wildly in favor of the Americans, seeing them as standing up for true English liberties.
