04/27, 13:30 - New home.
I fnally moved over the weekend. I love the new place, it is a huge house, 4 bedrooms, only three are occupied, all hardwood floors, big kitchen, and lots of space. On top of that the roommates seem really nice and outgoing, so we actually talk and hang out, not like with Christina where we'd barely say hi. The most we ever talked was when her ex dumped her. And then it was just her crying for about a week straight.

The dog also has a nice yard, with lots of space for him to run in, but the cat doesn't like him so much yet. He gave him a tiny bloody spot on his nose yesterday, because apparently the cat didn't want to play.

I basically moved in, only have another box and a suitcase to unpack, and I am fine.

I am so happy. It really does feel like home. Unbeatable.

04/23, 15:58 - A small light at the end of the tunnel
Well, they found the dog, but the manager is really nice because she knows my situation. So she made the deal that although we have to leave if I cannot get rid of the dog (which is not happening), we won't technically get evicted. If we leave by this weekend it won't be on our credit history, and they will work something out with us regarding paying the rest of the bill (rent until august).

Now I only have to wait for a call from a friend to see if I can move in with her, but she is taking forever to call back. Fortunately I have a few other options, such as putting the dog in a kennel until the end of the semester and just crashing at friends.

Once finals are over, I am over the hill. I will have so many sublets to chose from, it will be a breeze. I only have to make it through 2 more weeks.

It seems so far away.

04/15, 17:25 - Wanting to kill the roommate.
No electricity means no computer, no hot showers, no light after 7:30 and hating my roommate to death. ALL the utilities are in her name, and she had (I finally managed to get one myself) the only mail key. She never showed me any of the bills, and never told me about them, and now that the power is shut off she doesn't give a flying fuck because she stays with her bf all the time anyway.

When I told her to pay off her damn electricity bill she had the audacity to ask me for half the bill (which in itself I MIGHT have considered, but not with the late fees etc. that's her problem), but also gets mad when I tell her I really don't have a reason to pay half of it, given she already OWES me almost 3 grand. So now she won't even bother paying it off, and I won't because I don't want to add onto all that money that she owes me. (any more and it cannot be taken to small claims court, which will make it even more costly to get my money back to begin with. Besides, why help someone out that treats you like shit for helping them out?)

On top of that, my social life went downhill, friends never bother asking me out when they make plans, noone really cares about my situation, they offer to help out, but when it comes down to it, they won't or "can't".

I am sick of living like a bum, not being able to take showers, or study at home, or simply RELAX. It is driving me insane. While my stupid roommate goes out all the time, has people paying verything for her all the time, is "too good" to work as a server at Chili's and even manages to get her Boyfriend to give her the 6 grand he will most likely get as a loan, I am stuck being on campus all day, or not doing a damn thing at home, as well as going to bed at 8 PM.

It is unfair how stupid, lazy, and irresponsible people have so much freaking luck.

Not talking to him a lot can be very difficult, especially when so many things seem to happen at once and I don't know what is going on. But after today I am sure that he doesn't do it on purpose, and given we are so far away, he is jsut afraid of getting really attached so fast. Then again, it gives me a chance to focus on school and friends.
Now that I know he misses me as much as I miss him, I am going to relax, watch Seinfeld, and catch us on sleep form last night.

03/18, 21:39 - My roommate.
She is driving me insane.

Here is the latest happenings that make me want to break her legs:

Next to the fact that she is lazy and lives off of people because she cannot handle her own money, her boyfriend pays for everything. Latest being their $800 or more trip to Jamaica. Well at least that gave me a week free on my own. But of course her cats are still here. So I asked who would be taking care of her cats, her response "I got it taken care of" in a manner that basically told me it is none of my business. Yet, it is my business! I am living in the same apartment. I want to know who will be entering and leaving.
After that is taken care of, they leave. Only so that I notice that she 1) took a full bottle of my St. Yves shower gel with her (without asking me if she could use it of course) as well as the nice gesture of a full sink of dirty dishes. All hers.
Two days later I get a call from the apartment management. Turns out, although supposedly her part of rent was already paid for, her check bounced. So they wanted me to cover the $465 (rent plus late fees etc.) within 24 hours. Even if I had HAD the money, I would not have not wanted to pay for her. I am sick of sticking up when she messes up. Although the lady could have MADE me pay (we are both on one lease, so if one defaults it is the other's responsibility), she was nice enough to just act as if she could not get a hold of me, it being Spring Break and all. I told her Christina won't be back until sunday, and she said that the amount will have to be paid Monday the 21st by noon then, orshe will file for eviction. For the second time in 2 MONTHS.

But this is not all.

About 2 days ago I am at the bars with a few friends. Turns out, Austin had lend her $200 so she could cover rent, and yet still managed to bounce the check. Apparently that is because, as I heard from Kelsey the same day, she was busy buying Bikinis for Jamaica.
You would think someone that cannot even afford their own rent and gets their trips paid for would not go out buying Bikini's (when she already has bathing suits anyway). Rather, they should be working their asses off.
Not Christina. Oh no. Instead, she gets into an argument with her boss, and QUITS HER JOB!

*bangs head on desk*

I am seriously going to rip her a new asshole when she comes back.

03/12, 11:32 - Losing
I am a member of [info]art4sale and found a woman selling this gorgeous piece:

Above it all )

It was on sale on ebay, so I bid on it.

For 9 days no one else bothered to have it. Then last minute (While I was busy relaxing from 2 stressfull days of barely any sleep and writing lots of papers as well as preparing for my presentation), someone outbids me.
Somehow, this really upsets me. I am not sure why, but I wanted that painting really bad. It is an original. *sigh*

I guess the only good thing is I save about $200. Unfortunately it does nothing to comfort me.

I haven't talked to Mike in a while either. Van (who lives down there as well) said I should come down for my Spring Break anyway, and then we could go track him down and beat him up. Hah. Well, I'd track him down anyway. The thought of having no school for a week does not excite me. I have no plans, since all I wanted to do was go see Mike.

At least I will be rid of Christina, because he bf is paying for a trip to Jamaica.

02/28, 15:55 - Annoyances
My roommate borrowed my Student ID on Friday to be able to go and work out. It being the weekend I didn't think of asking for it back or the fact that she still had it, period; and her being irresponsible, she didn't think of it either. Unfortunately that resulted in me not being able to take the Stadium Express to class, thus missing a quiz and having to ask the teacher if I can make it up on Wednesday in his other lab section. Damn me for not having change, damn her for being so freaking annoying. On top of that, she never called back when I called her, her boyfriend is not on, and she didn't come home after work.

I really can't wait until I am out of this living arrangement. It is driving me insane.




On another note, I made an appointment with the IU Health Center so I can get on BC. I heard good things about the Ring, so I might try that. I dislike the idea of having to remember to take a pill every day at the same time, and Depo unfortunately had nothing but bad effects on me.

(If you are a guy, you might not want to keep on reading. If you do, it is your own fault.)

I am kind of anxious about going though. It is not the fact of getting naked in front of a person, or a pep-smear not exactly being the most comfortable thing in the world, but rather that me and E had set up an appointment for the 8th for a Brazilian Wax, and on the 10th for a full leg and underarm wax. Thus, I am not exactly the most hairless person right now. I am sure they are used to it, but it's still odd.

I will be happy when all this is over.

I never really dreamed about my mother. But this time I did, and she was acing like a crazy, jealous, love-sick 14 year old. For some reason she kept thinking I wanted to steal her boyfriend, and that I "fuked him" and what a horrible daughter I was. There was also a little , maybe 4 year old, girl; not my child, not my sister, I don't think she was related to me in any way, but she kept clinging to me as if it was for dear life.
The rest of the dream was spent trying to convinve my mother to go see a psychologist or psychiatrist, and what the differences of such are, while random boys were sitting next to us playing games.


Waking up after dreams like this actually makes me be upset at the person I dreamed about. I am not sure whether to tell my mom about it or not. She was always one to put a lot of weight and meaning with dreams.

02/26, 11:48 - I snatched this from [info]book_of_lists
Most of it definitely is true and sweet.:

Written by a guy. After years of experience. This shoud be written as a guidebook for guys everywhere! We guys need all the help we can get.


1. Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house...they run around in their underwear just like we do.

2. Don't cheat on them. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be mud.

3. Beware of every single male relatives and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your butt at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the damn hat.

4. Never miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.

5. Don't refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.

02/25, 16:20 - I need food.
I haven't had the chance to go grocery shopping at all, since I have no car and walking there and walking back with about 3094583 seems an impossible task. So once again, Papa John is my friend. But Spicy Buffalo Wings sound really good right now...

Mike is off for some Army field training, and I won't get to talk to him until the 3rd. He ha a 4 day weekend, during which I talked to him once, on Sunday night. He was drunk as hell, but overly sweet. Hearing how much he misses me just feels great. He didn't have to work the next day and thought he would get to talk to me. He probably ended up going out again, or falling asleep early, and then was told early tuesday morning to go to that field training. And since his cellphone has been acting up he couldn't tell me. The major problem with that (besides me not getting to talk to him), is that my Spring Break is from March 11 until the 20th. He was going to check his chedule to see what days I could come so I could buy the tickets. But now that he is gone I don't know which days to get the tickets for, and as I know airlines, the price will probably go up by the minute.That means the nice tickets I had found for about $167 Dollars will end up being $300+. Life is unfair. :(

This whole week has been horrible. No motivation to get out of bed, no matter how long I slept, been putting off all my work, so I am going todo it tonight so I can enjoy my weekend.

SOME productiveness came out of this week though, such as a change in my theme and background:

Desktop )

And yes, for those that noticed, it's the same background I use for this journal. If anyone cares, here is a link to my old one [info]damayanti

We also found a house to live in for next year (we = Doug, Jason, Jake and I). It has 4 bedrooms (one of them in the basement), a big Deck, a big kitchen, the bedroomsare HUGE, Full basement, 2.5 baths (one of them is MINE, because I am getting the masterbedroom), with a yard and a big 2 car garage. It was just built as well, in 95, and the new landlord is young and really nice. I don't think we will have problems hosting a party every now and then. The neighbourhood is gorgeous as well, with mostly families. And overall we will only pay 278.5 a person a month. Talk about cheap. Jason and Jake, Chochalte Boy and the Whore as I like to call them, respectively, both have dogs, so that I am planning on buying a snake.

I miss my old snake, scissors (pronounce the "c" - remnant of my accent), so I decided to get another one. The same breed, a Brazilian Rainbow Boa.
I hope you can see why they are named "Rainbow" Boas.

Snakes )

They are so gorgeous.

I just want to ge out of this place, and the shitty rommate situation, move into the new place, and buy this beauty.
