Scribbles III


The subject was...
The day started fabulous. The weather was delightfully cloudy and grey. I went to work (after bailing out yesterday) and got a lot of things done. I ordered my graduation sash. I finalized most of my statement of purposes. I finished my Renaissance Scholarship application and handed it in. And I managed to have lunch with an old friend of mine. Then I went home and found my roommate.
My roommate #1 has to be the most inconsiderate being alive. And I know for sure I won't miss her when I graduate in three months' time. Horrible, aren't I? But she keeps taking/using my stuff without asking, and she's constantly blasting her crappy music out loud when I'm trying to study. She throws her trash over to my side of the room and her clothes all over the floor. And then there are those awful phone conversations she has with her friends and they are both loud and annoying. Especially when she does that baby-voice thing with her boyfriend....who she is currently cheating on (roommate #2 and I know about it because she was so obvious with the cheating). The other day she was on the phone with her friend and said that the main reason she was staying with her boyfriend is because he has a job and a stable source of income. That's the only 'good point' about him she came up with. Can you say, gold-digger? Such a two-faced, superficial and incompetant person (I'll explain why these adjectives are suitable later). I'm not even going to do anything about that situation, because I know it'll end in disaster. You should only attempt cheating if you're mentally meticulous ad great at organisation. She has neither of those traits.

Roommate #2 is good, so no complaints here. We get along perfectly fine.
Roommate #3 is the new girl that moved in this semester. Personality wise, she is nice, but she is a semi-slob. I say 'semi' because whilst she leaves the most astronomical messes, she does know how to clean. The problem is, the doesn't clean often. The dishes are piled up in the sink until the end of the week (and the kitchen smells like rubbish by then), and she leaves her crap everywhere. I don't know how one person can leave their toiletaries in both sinks, or how one can use up three towel racks. Or how one can use up to three pans just to make a sandwich. I don't want to be mean about the clutter, but I'm starting to get a migraine (and I suspect a stomach ulcer) over it.
Heh. But then I can comfort myself with the thought that roommate #1 lured #3 to live with her next year. Ahhh, how interesting would that be? Das ist unglaublich!

V+DAY=...?


I went and watched the Vagina Monologues the day after V:Day. I would highly recommend people to watch it, no matter which theatre troop is performing. I watched the one my roommate and other college people were in. Whilst acting at the college student level isn't exactly steller, the strength of the writing and the vulnerabilty of the interviewees made the entire production very powerful. I proudly admit that the Comfort Women segment almost made me cry. Other touching stuff include the women in South Asia who lost their faces due to acid attacks... I can't believe that such things are going on around the world (I knew about them, but to hear other people act it out and to know that these stories are from real people...a completely different experience).
End of Weekend

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anywho, I watched Dexter on CBS yesterday....I can't afford cable in school housing and watch the non-censored version on Showtime. But then again, I wouldn't want to watch the uncut edition since I can't stand blood and gore at that level (hence I am not buying the DVD sets). I like what I saw from the first episode, but you never know how it turns out. It could end up like Lost (I have no bloody idea what is going on anymore) or the Sopranos (...).
President Day's weekend went by like a breeze, and I ended up doing nothing. Of course, some poor soul wanted me to go out with him for lunch, but I really wasn't up for it. Too damn sunny. And then I got invited to go on a brief weekend trip up in Pasadena with family friends, but I didn't feel like being exorcis-- I mean, go to church. Pft.
