Living Troubles
November 6, 2007 
My roommate is starting to drive me crazy. Allow me to elaborate.
At the beginning of this year, I was living many different places; I was crashing on peoples couches and futons and sometimes sleeping in my car. This all ended when I met up with this girl who I knew back in middle school. She was living with another girl in a house, and they had an extra bed in the attic that she offered me. This was a godsend. I didn’t have to keep all my clothes in my car anymore. So I’ve been living there for a while. I thought I would be fine. The one I knew is engaged, and the other one is in a pretty serious relationship of several years. I didn’t think there would be much drama. As it turns out, both of them have fallen for me. Normally this wouldn’t be such a big problem, because I’ve dealt with this sort of this before, but the one I used to know has become very hostile and possessive.
This hasn’t been helped by the fact that Val and I have recently gotten together. I have been on the phone with her a lot, because she’s so far away, and this has caused Tarah to feel “abandoned” and shit like that. I haven’t yet told them I’m not going to be around next semester. I figure they’ll figure it out, and I don’t want more resistence.
But she randomly starts crying when I’m in the room with her, and then she’ll ask me why I leave when she enters a room. As I said, my roommate is starting to drive me crazy. And not the good kind. That’s Valeri’s job.
Is it Friday yet?

Last weekend’s plans fell through, but I think this weekend the plans are going to be upheld. So here are the plans as of now:
My car is still stuck in Bloomington. That’s 3 hours south of me. So if it is fixed by Friday, Val is going to drive it up to me. Then we’re going to drive back to my hometown to switch cars, because the car she will be driving back to me will still be down one wheel. After that, we’re going over to Manchester to hang out with her family. Sunday is her brother’s birthday, so we’ll be having a little party. After that, Val wants another ear piercing, and I think I’m going to get one, too. Any suggestions on what to have as my first earring?
I can’t wait to see her again.
In recent events, Val’s ex-boyfriend called her last night in a bit of a state. He happens to be one of my friends, but he’s pissed off that I’m dating his ex. Plus he says he thinks he’s still in love with her. I think it’s bull shit. I think he just wants her back now that he can’t have her. He didn’t treat her right. It’s her turn for the royal treatment.
A Visit
November 2, 2007 
This weekend, I will be paying a visit to my hometown to see my sister act in her school play. The plays at my high school always end up being really good, and my sister is quite the thespian, so i’m looking forward to it.
The fact that the play should be good is the least of the reasons that i’m looking forward to the weekend. The main reason is that i will be joined by my new girlfriend. It’s time for her to meet the family. I’ll update as to how it goes after i go through it.
UPDATE!:
Due to automotive troubles, the entire visit was cancelled. Note that this is not equivalent to “the entire weekend was ruined.”

Time for the quandary part.
A simple post:
I don’t know, yet, what she wants, and I don’t know exactly how to tell her what I want.
UPDATE!: now i do.
New Addition
I’ve created this account so that anyone who cares to know can find out what’s going on in my life and get updated more easily and with much more detail than they can from my facebook. I’m afraid, however, that every time i get something like this, i fail horribly at updating with any regularity at all, so if i struggle at keeping you informed, inform me that you are uninformed and with to be informed and i’ll do my best to inform you.
Due to recent events in my life, many of which i don’t currently care to discuss in great detail, i have not been having much fun. I hate to reinforce Maddux’s view on anyone who uses a blog, but it is true that until very recently, my life has been incredibly unpleasant. Last weekend, however, I drove down to IU to meet up with some people and get my ps2 back from those who had been borrowing it. While I was down here, my car broke down. This was a tremendous blessing in disguise. It gave me an opportunity to come back down the following weekend (i say come back down rather than go back down because i am still here, though i know it is monday and i am missing class.) Anyway, on friday my roommate from high school picked me up and drove me down here with the intention of helping me get my car back…and also seeing his girlfriend, who goes here. Since I’ve been here, I’ve had the best time. I hadn’t been incredibly long since I’d seen him, for he was here the previous weekend as well, but we don’t get nearly enough time to talk anymore. When we were roommates, we obviously told each other everything about our days, and it’s nice to get to talk to him longer than the occasional 2 minute phone conversation. But the new addition, other than this blog itself, is someone he, his girlfriend and i hung out with on saturday and sunday. We’ve been friends on facebook, we went to the same high school, and we did occasionally speak, but we never really hung out much, and certainly not 1-on-1. What I’ve found out from doing that, though, is that she is intensely cool.
