When It rains...
Posted 07-10-09 at 05:06 PM by XFreeRollerX
It pours
For the past couple of moths I've moved out of my rents house and into an apartment with a friend/former room mate from dorms. Things have been going well for the first half of the period... then something seemingly fell out of the window or something cus every reason I left the parents house is now a problem at my apartment?!?!
Two major issues I've come to find myself in again...
I hate it when it is hot, any more than like 78*F or so and I start sweating, fast... the roommate seems to not be bothered at all by the heat and doesn't seem to enjoy the electric bill. Understandable. What is pissing me off is he will randomly turn the AC to 50*F and the place will FREEZE over. Thats fine, I like it cold. The next day he completely turns off the AC?!?!?!?! WHAT THE ****?!?!?! Its Arizona - its 110*F outside from 6am to 9pm all day every day, night time stays above 80 depending on weather and how many months its been since we had rain.... I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would run the temperature down as far as it can possibly go, then just shut it off. This is the fastest way to work up a nice bill because 1-The rooms will never reach the set temperature (AC never turns off), and 2- constantly changing the temperature (I would assume) is very inefficient for keeping a place cool. For sanity's sake, leave it at a single comfortable temperature.
Mess. I hate mess, dirty, etc... Im somewhat of a clean freak. I hate it when the place I live in looks like a dump. When I went to visit the apartment before moving in, it was spotless. Since then, I have seen the roommate clean 1 time. One time. The place slowly degraded to what I fathom. I've cleaned up the place a couple times now to were it looked good and literally within a couple days, its dirty again. I don't know how to deal with this, I really don't. The roommate dos not seem to even care about keeping things clean. For god sakes, he shaved his head in the bathroom, what seemed like WALKING IN CIRCLES. THERE WAS HAIR EVERYWHERE. The sink, floor, under the carpet, in the tub.... was he freakin dancing while cutting his hair or something!?!? Once I saw that I gave up. He doesn't care about keeping clean, I'm not cleaning after him. Im not gonna play moma and clean up after this pig. Ill live with it until I find a new place - hopefully soon. It also doesn't help that his sister is living with us too. She sheds hair pretty bad and leaves it in the tub, sink, toilets, etc, too. I have also given up on cleaning due to the appearance of neither of them caring about keeping the place clean.
I'm gonna start looking for my own apartment, single person. I don't care to have another roommate after this. I am thoroughly pissed off today as I woke up sweating again.
Going on tangent to something else - this isn't so much a rant as it is kind of reflecting on some events yesterday. This girl I dated in freshman year of high school recently got back in contact with me...
*quick history briefing* We dated for a year and 2 months, we had a great relationship. I broke up with her 2 times because of her sister. Not in a good way. her sister was always lieing her saying I would be cheating on her, messing around with others, etc, trying to get us to split up. My gf believed it for some reason and always ended up in argument until I convinced her otherwise. I never cheated on her. I really liked this girl so I did treat her well. she would call me an ******* once in a while but whatever - she seemed like she was kidding. Eventually it got to a point where I couldn't take her sisters harassment and I had to say goodbye to the girl - was too much.*
Course the breakup was a huge mess. she insisted that I was still an ass, I promised her that I would always and forever be the best guy she has ever dated. she recently came back after 4? years... whining about the last 4-5 guys she dated. Turns out what I said to her was 100% correct. Guy1 cheated on her for 4 months, she got pregnant - he ditched her - parents got restraining order, she then miscarried. Guy 2 - cheated on her for the entire time they dated. Guy 3 - cheated on her the entire time they dated, got her pregnant. 4 months pregnant the guy threatans her saying he wants nothing to do with her "or else". Restraining order placed, she moved out of town for 5 months. She moved back into town and recently contacted me then....
Sad story, Im mad at the girl for actually letting me be right. Im dissapointed that I let such a nice, good girl go to be treated like that but.. hey, stupid people exist - guess shes no exception! ugh.

School is starting back up soon
looking forward to an exciting year of 3rd year at University...
Party time

If anyone has comments or insight to anything, feel free to post up. Im rather impersonal and open to questions
Not that Ive had a bad day - just figured I would get it out of me for someone to respond to. Maybe I can solve some of this easilyPosted 07-10-09 at 05:07 PM by XFreeRollerX

Totally understand-- it's a nice way to let out a bit of steam in a fairly healthy manner.
As for the girl, I have to agree that she certainly made a few stupid decisions (what the hell is her sister's problem?), but I believe it may be in your better interest to at least give her a chance. After all, this is after four years, versus something trivial like 4 days, weeks or months. That's a lot of time to pass, and she may have thought about it a lot. Never really know until you give her a chance. Maybe that's just me though-- I'm a sucker for giving people second chances, but i've never had a situation where they've waited more than just months to say something (i'm still implying 4 years is better than her waiting 4 months; but that's my opinion).
As for your roommate, totally sucks. If I were actively pursuing school right now, I could have been your roommate
. Kidding, but I do spend about a month a year in Gilbert. I was actually surprised to see that you lived there, haha. Gilbert used to be tiny, but now it's booming with business.
Even if I was your roommate for some crazy and odd possibility, I probably wouldn't be much better in terms of cleanliness.. But shaving his head and leaving the hair everywhere? Jeez, I might make some messes, but I take care to keep them in my own personal space. In general I just try not to annoy the people around me.
Take care

Thanks for replying timx
Regarding the girl - I am a forgiving person as well. Sometimes too forgiving. I let this girl believe I cheated on her 5 times and let it go blamelessly.
I have a feeling I might not be so quick to let her back in my life though, seeing as how she is now 4 months pregnant with a kid. I'm not fond of said things - I don't do well with children
that and I am skeptical if she is using me. Shes not really well off finacially and shes 17, where as I just turned 19 and I am very well suited (financially). Im also worried about other problems (her sister again). Other than that though - if things seem to pan out ok, Ill prob let it go. Shes a really nice girl, and rather good looking
And my roommate.. yeh I understand people leave messes, I understand we get lazy
but I will be damned if any inhabitant can't at least TRY to clean after themselves. he doesn't even TRY.
Another thing that got me recently was he pisses standing up and leaves a smelly mess.Posted 07-10-09 at 11:41 PM by XFreeRollerX

Eh, it's no prob. I've got sympathy because I've had similar woes in the not too far off past. In many ways I understand how you might feel in a situation of this sort, and it sucks.
I did remember reading how she got pregnant again, but I must have assumed she miscarried again or something. Considering she hasn't, then yeah I really don't blame you at all for your position on the issue.
Overall I'd have to say it's pretty tragic how things turned out between you and her, but it wasn't you who was in the wrong... But I'd imagine there's probably the thought that if she would have believed you in the first place, there wouldn't have been this big of a mess.
Whatever happens in all this.. Best of luck. Don't let it drag you down if it doesn't have to.
(as an irrelevant side note, you're right-- when it rains there, it really does pour, haha. i couldn't believe how thick the clouds were the day after last xmas)Posted 07-11-09 at 03:44 AM by timxirish

A lot can change overtime
I think that it is important not to dwell to much in the past, especially of what it "could" have been etc. You both have changed and hopefully matured in your time apart, whether it was intentional or unintentional. Are experiences make us who we are and without them we would be nobody.
Who is to say that the what held in the past will hold in the future?
The question that I have recently started asking myself is this:
"What do I NOT want?"
If you can answer this question, then you already know what you want

You know to be quite honest I don't hold anything against the guy. We have different standard and different needs - thats about the problem right there.Quote:Originally Posted by mega_option101
