Space, The Final Frontier

Mom's moving out. She and Sam are going to move back in with Russ, my stepdad. So Samantha, a friend I've had since I was 13, and Christian, her boyfriend, are going to move in with me. Do you know what that means??? I GET A ROOM ALL TO MYSELF!!!! Sweet! Chase and I will take the upstairs bedrooms and they'll take the downstairs bedroom, and so I'll finally have a room all to myself devoid of any buffin paraphernalia and all kinds of nice empty space that I won't have to clutter up! Yay!

Roommate Troubles, Part II

Finally! He's gone! Yay! *dances around and throws confetti in the air* Erik and I were terribly pleased to discover that Rob left for Maryland this morning.

Unfortunately, last night he came by and picked up the last of his things. While he was here, he and his little slut of a girlfriend vandalized my car last night before he left. They slashed my passenger side rear tire, and poured baby powder down into the a/c vents. Jerk. If he was going to slash the tire, he could of at least slashed on of the front ones because those are in desperate need of replacement anyway. We had to borrow some money from Erik's dad to replace the tire (but he's actually giving us enough to replace all four, which is fantastic because they're really really really needing replacement).Also, we tried to clean the baby powder out of the vents, but it pretty much just made a huge mess and the whole car was just rank with the scent of baby powder. not that baby powder is that bad of a smell, but it's completely overpowering. What a completely worthless jerk. I'll get my revenge though. Buddy boy is going to get taken to small claims court over the repair costs and the PG&E and AT&T bills he never paid for. And since he will be in maryland, he obviously isn't going to show up for the court date. If he doesn't show up, he forfeits and we automatically win! At which point they can attach his wages. Muhaha. Although that doesn't do anything to get Crystal in trouble. I have half a mind to buy a thing of baby powder and find out when she works and go in and dump it on her, and then ask her if she likes it. Granted then we might get banned from Winco forever, but that just might be worth it. I probably won't, but it sure would be absolutely hilarious if i did though. Read more!

Roommate Troubles

Maybe it's because I spend a large amount of my time reading articles regarding very small children, but I can't help but think that our roommate is nothing but an overgrown toddler. He's acting like the biggest a'hole I've ever had the misfortune of spending any copious amount of time with. First, he just in general started acting like a jerk. Then he'd throw a huge tantrum when we would ask him *nicely* to clean up after himself or refrain from making a mess in the kitchen that I had just spend about 2 hours cleaning from top to bottom. This of course included calling Erik and I "hypocrites" and "slobs" because we never do anything around here. Which, if you ever saw my house, you would know that is absolutely untrue; as my house is always clean and usually totally immaculate. Then he had the gall to put me down because I am getting a job at Taco Bell. I could care less that it's fast food. It's a paycheck, and right now that is the only thing job-wise I am worried about. The funny thing is that I'm going to probably start out making at least fifty cents an hour more than him and he works at a gas station. As if buddy-boy has any room to talk. Then we were recieving notices from the phone company threating to shut off our phone service if we didn't pay the bill (which, by the way, we were late on because we were waiting on a payment from Rob) so Erik decided to just pay the whole thing on his own and have Rob pay him back. Now, we were essentially broke to begin with, and after that we were completely broke. So we ended up running out of food, at which point we asked Rob again, *nicely* (believe me, Erik is pretty much incapable of being rude or demanding to anyone. He's such a pacifist that it drives me insane sometimes) and even told him we needed the money to buy food. Rob threw a sh't-fit and started calling Erik names and again putting us down for the jobs we held and all that. Now keep in mind that Rob knows I am pregnant and that I can't just skip meals. So this went on for the past 5 days, where each day Erik would nicely ask Rob to pay for at least part of the money he owed and each day Rob would act like a little b'tch and call Erik names and such. Finally, we were forced to ask our relatives if they could help us out, and Erik's mom, Francis was really nice and went out and bought us $125 worth of groceries (about 2 weeks worth). Thank God for caring relatives. After all this, we decided that we'd had enough, and so we stopped allowing Rob to use the phone. His girlfriend (who, by the way, is a complete idiot and a loudmouth who constantly overstays her welcome and eats all our food, leaves a mess for us to clean up, and uses our things without asking) called asking for him and we explained that since he refused to pay his bill, he was no longer allowed to use the phone, and so she told me to f' off and hung up. Lovely, really. So I blocked her phone number. It's not likely that Rob is going to pay his bill before he leaves in a few weeks anyway, and I don't want to hear her loud mouth anyways. Then, this morning, he went to make coffee while I was in the kitchen putting away the dishes, and I politely told him he wasn't allowed to use my coffeepot anymore. Then I said, "If you're gonna be an a'hole to me, then I can be just as big an a'hole right back." Well, of course he threw a fit over that one, grabbed the pot part of the coffeemaker and ran out of the room. He held it over his head like he was going to throw it and I said "So you're going to break it now, are you? Real mature, Rob. Real f'ing mature." So he gave me a dirty look and tossed it on the ground. Needless to say, I moved the coffeepot to our room for the time being. I'm just sick of this crap. We let him stay with us because he had nowhere to go and I was trying to help out a friend. As usual, that backfired. Everytime I try and help someone out, I get screwed over. No more. I'm not ever going to have a roommate again. I'd rather live on the street than live with another self centered asshole. But thankfully he'll be gone soon. Not soon enough, but soon. Read more!

Tired

Lisa sees a bug. Either that or a hole or other anomaly on the wall that she mistook for a bug. silly kitty. I don't have too much to say right now but I thought I might post just because I'm trying to post once a day, regardless of the content. Erik and I went to Justin and Katie's tonight. We had mexican food from La Comida (yum yum even if it is just chips and salsa), Erik and Justin jammed for a while and then we all played Mario Party for a few hours. It was so nice just to get out of the house for a while. We really need to go out and see our friends more often, it's good for us. :)

However, we "forgot" to pick up Rob from work and now he's all mad at us. Boo Hoo. Normally I wouldn't advocate standing someone up like that, but Rob is really taking advantage of the whole ride situation. We don't have any money and the gas he buys gets eaten up in no time because he goes out and uses a quarter tank at a time with Crystal. It's just frustrating. Most people wouldn't give their roommates rides to work every day, especially at such inconvenient hours, and they certainly wouldn't let them use their cars. We're getting really fed up with the fact that he feels entitled to rides and things, and so we're just going to stop taking him anywhere. On the 1st we're going to tell him that he should save his money that he's been giving us for gas and buy a bus pass. Plus, that will allow us to be more flexible in our available work hours, and right now that's really important.
