I really do like my roommates. They're really good girls, they sometimes do their chores, and generally help pay the bills on time. They usually knock before entering my room and only once in awhile do I get blamed for things that aren't my fault.
In the meantime, when they have midterms..or are busy....or have relationship troubles..and forget to do their chores...or whatever...I'll pick up the slack and do them. Because I'm anal retentive and I hate messy floors. And while I don't expect the favor to be returned...it wouldn't hurt if once in awhile they could help me when I'm having trouble. No, I don't want to talk about it. I want someone to pick up what I might forget to do. But no. It doesn't happen. Which is fine, I guess. Such is the way of justice and of life, and I shouldn't expect more. I don't. But it would be nice.
And you know what my current beef is with one of my roommates? It's probably the most dumbest thing I've ever been mad over...but she's my visiting teaching companion. And we were VTing this girl in our ward...and my roommate mentioned that she's just working full time this semester...and how she "takes care of all of us" and that she feels "just like a mother now." And this really upset me. She's never home, she spends most of her time at work or with her boyfriend. I've seen her doing chores once...and she's a great girl, i know she is. And I'm sure when she said that she meant that she has to take responsibility for herself and redecorating the living room is almost like being a mother. But I still resented the comment. Isn't that the dumbest thing? Maybe it's my fault and I just don't know her well enough. And if I got to know her it would indeed turn out that she's this silent, surrogate mother figure for me thats been there all along.
..just like I'm sure that when I cry at night it's really because of PMS and not because of my ex boyfriend.
...and that the guy I like doesn't really hate me...
...and that I'm not really an absolutely pitiful human being with really petty problems. I just never matured past teenagerhood.
Yeah. Right.
