I have many new obstacles in my life that I need to blog about. For now, I will discuss the most pertinent trouble because I have minimal time because I have class for 9 hours today and the rest of the week.
When I was leaving NC, I got an email from the main girl I was going to live with. I say 'main' because her and I were the ones who were looking vigorously for a place to live. She found the place I was planning on moving into on July 1st, and I am living with her right now in her apartment. I have been moving all over the place this summer, but I felt that it was worth it because the house she found was so great and in an awesome location. She sends me an email that informs me that she doesn't think the house will work out anymore for me, Randi, and Kelsey. She (Lauren) believes we won't work as roommates and there will be too much drama. This is a girl who stamps her feet, yells and pouts if someone borrows something of hers. After talking with her on the phone for at least a half an hour, explaining that if you commit to something you need to stick to it, it is too late to leave the three of us out like that, and if there are difficulties that arise then we can handle them in adult way because everyone meets difficulties when living with someone else. Lauren wouldn't budge. All she could say was 'Well I'm sorry but it's not going to work. I'm just going to be miserable next year if I have to live with you." News flash sister, I didn't want to live with you either...no one does...but I agreed because I wanted the house.
So now I am once again homeless. I can't find anywhere to live. I don't know what I'll do.
And when I was leaving NYC last night, Laura's friend was late picking us up and we met traffic. I got to the airport 30 minutes before my flight took off and they wouldn't let me on with my bags. So I had to leave them in NYC and run for a good half mile to my terminal...where we sat on the plane for over an hour, waiting in line on the take off strip because there were so many planes taking off. They totally could've gotten my bags on, but whatever.
The main response I want to get from this blog is how would you respond to this situation: I come home and my room and bathroom has been thoroughly cleaned, towels washed, and everything is put away. One part of my was like 'Cool my place is clean." But the other part of me is, this jerk (Lauren) went through all my stuff and touched it all and it's insulting that she would clean my stuff. I don't know if or what I should say to her. Respond if you'd like.

"Um...thanks for cleaning my room? Honestly, I think it's kind of weird after that whole 'you-make-me-miserable' stuff. What gives?" And let her respond. Maybe she's trying to make amends? Maybe she laced your belongings with arsenic? Maybe she has multiple personalities? I don't know, but the airport thing doesn't surprise me - you have notoriously bad luck there. xoxo.
Roommates can be such fun. How have I gotten along without one for over 20 years? Yours sounds like she has "issues" (I guess we all do). Sorry for the psychobabble, but she's acting kind of passive-agressive and projecting her behavior onto others. I find it's best to back away from that kind of a situation - no point in egaging with an unstable person. Best to cut your losses and move on to healthier pastures. Good luck finding a new place and sorry to hear about you airport experience.
