| Wow.....September....Thats the last time I updated. I thought I was done with this thing, and I always thought something big had to happen to make it "xanga-worthy". Well...here we are. It looks like I will be moving home to Fullerton, if there is even a chance. The last few days have come by like a whirlwind. A couple days ago, my Grandma gave her hardly-used 2005 Toyota Corolla to my sister, allowing me to sell her car for a new car of my own. She doesn't drive much and is just paying for the insurance. So there is no real need for the car and she'll end up saving money. Good news right?! I thought so.... Fast forward a couple hours...I get home and all of my roommates are in their respective rooms. Then Jon approaches me and says "WE all need to talk to you." I felt like I was getting fired. Well, basically that was it. Apparently, the other roommates were discussing their living situations and decided it would be in each of their best interests to "downsize" their situation and move out without me. So, at the end of the lease, which is the end of August, I will be on my own. After this news, I couldn't talk to them. I felt betrayed and resentful. How could my roommates, one of 5 years, put me in this situation. The next morning, I recieve a call. It turns out that my family was talking and since my Grandma does not have a car, it doesnt really make sense to live alone. Aaaaand....since my family has the most kids at home and an empty room (my room) it only made sense to live with us. This puts me in quite a boogle. Wow...I used boggle in a sentence. Anyways, I had a long talk with my roommates about my situation and my disappointment with the way things went. I guess they had issues with the frequency that Kristine was over. Eventhough, for the most part, she just hung out in my room and kept to herself. But the house was "too full" for them. They had other reasons too, most having to do with Kristine. And these reasons are warranted, but there was no talk about this. There was no "Hey Scott, Kristine is over too much, can you go to her place more?" or something. There was no warning. How am I supposed to know there is a problem unless no one speaks up? These issuses, in my mind, are easy avoided if I had known about it. I go to Kristine's more, or something. But they felt "uncomfortable" and "awkward" talking to me about how to handle my personal relationship. I guess it was better to just meet without me and oust me out of the house, because that would save someone else the awkwardness in talking to me. Right now, I am very skeptical about my friendship with my soon to be ex-roommates. It is hard to swallow that guys who I considered to be my closest friends would think "Ouch! this is f*cked up. But whatever....at least I don't have to tell him how to be with his girlfriend." It is really hard to believe that my roommates, one for 5 years, would ditch me on a whim and put me in this situation without even talking to me, or giving me a heads up. They kept saying "this was a really tough decision for us." The keyword there was DECISION. As "tough" as it was, they still had a choice. They still HAVE a choice. But whatever, some people think about themselves and others in the picture are secondary. They don't realize that there is someone else that is affected. I didn't want to make this a public message, but I want people to know that you shouldn't do this to people. If you have trouble with your roommates, even if you have grown to hate them, tell them whats up. It sucks being on this side of things where you are forced into a situation without any choice of your own. Also, if you know of anyone that needs a roommate, holler. |
