Open Sesame

Open Sesame, Open house, Open Source …. no, none of these expressions can relate to Open Sunroof. Well, not in this context anyways. I left my Sunroof open while I was packing not realising it was raining, torential downpour is more like it.
One word.
Soaked.
I know I know … hurry and dry it out before it dries and mildew and such. HA. Not on your life will that ever happen! I immediatly went to a wet/dry vacuum carwash type place, sucked everything out, which wasn’t alot at all, and it’s all dry, even cleaner too! Ok, so it wasn’t nearly as bad as I made it out to be, I suppose I made it out to be a Green Acres in my car but that was never the case. Green Acres by the way is a 2 gallon lake in my old home town.
Moving on … Hehe .. no pun intended … anywho … So I’m totally erked at my roomate(s). Not so much the (s) part as I am the roomate part. He didn’t really do anything. Just took his stuff and jetted. He hasn’t been a man about this entire situation(which I said that I’d explain one of these days). So now is a good of time as any.
Let me give some background info and then we’ll move from there. They pro-rated our rent at our apartment complex. Basically they a large credit for 3 months free of rent, each month we’d pay the set amount and use a tiny bit of that credit they gave us to go towards rent. Over the course of 12 months it would completly use up the credit and thus that’s how it would worked out. Well … should have. Me and my other 2 roomates kept paying what we thought was our rent. Supposidly one month he asked the complex how much we owed for that month(which was about six months ago’ish) and they stated only 300$. This was CORRECT however, again on purpose or on accident, only 300$ was paid although we all paid in 1100$ that month. Basically meaning there was an extra 800$ missing. From then on out we paid our pro-rated amount however each month the full amount was due. Late fees. 50$ a pop and 5$ a day for each day it was late. On top of the 800$ that was owed, we kept paying in late fees and such. We also paid him the electric/water bill and such(which to this day I’ll never know what he did). So not only are we forking out money for rent that need not be forked, also one day I wake up and my fish are almost belly up(not quite dead but almost and they are still alive) and my alarm clock is blinking and such. It’s freezing inside our apartment(it’s snowing outside) and I’ve only got about 2 hours to work. All of my clothes mind you are in the washer, all wet mind you. I wake up, no electricity. He didn’t pay the bill. We all paid the bill which was like 200$. Now he’s in the hole almost 1000$. No big deal, we are all mad but no big deal. We hand over finances to somebody else a little more responsible. His rent check bounces. Now he’s out another 300+ dollars. So all in all it’s about 1400$. We gave him the boot. I can’t afford to keep paying for his mistakes. I’m out about 400$. Mind you I didn’t pay 2 months of electric, I’m leaving that in his lap. So lets just say 300$ he owes me. I got his monitor 19′ as collateral. I just want my money back so I can buy my own monitor. That money I spent I WOULD HAVE spent on a monitor.
I just don’t get it. And yet he still brags about how much he makes in public, but in private he is suffering and I know it. I just keep quite. He puffs out his chest proudly as he decalres his wealth, his status to everybody but deep down I know he’s lieing. What I find funny is even when he is knocked off his high horse he still acts like he’s on it. Sometimes when he’s bragging(which beileve it or not is often) I wish I could just explain to everybody in the room what’s happened, what’s transpired. I don’t. I just let him lie to himself. I figure if he lies to himself long enough he can actually beileve in it. I know first hand. I know this from exprience and I still do it.
Obviously I see now what it does to other people but I do my lieing to myself. I lie and tell myself I’ll find somebody better in the opposite sex then the one previously. However I know that one day after numerous relationships that fail due to me like all the ones in the past for whatever reason, I can no longer tell a lie. I will probably have to take a step back and say, "wait a second kc, maybe it’s me that’s causing this".
-sighs-
Ok, enough of that ….
I’m settled into my new place. And for all those that want my address it’d be a good idea to mail me, as for my family I havn’t spoken to them in forever. I keep calling and they keep replying but all we do is play phone tag. I’m going to be much happier though at the new place. No internet .. YET. My setup computer wise is so awesome. I am so happy and couldn’t ask for a cooler bedroom. I have two posters. My first is a poster of my corvette. My buisness teacher states that you have to have realistic goals and they have to be visible day in and day out. I figure what better place then next to my computer desk?
Well
I should be going … I will continue part two later today or tommorow … stay tuned …
kc
