I've taken quite a beating from people I thought were my friends this last year. As with everything there is two sides to a story or a perspectives. I had mentioned on the eve of losing my job at ford last year I had a room mate. Was one of my friends and he needed work so I got him a job and things were ok for a while, he spent his checks on toys and living lavishly while the rent wasn't paid and the utilities got behind. I had offered to to let him pay me back later, but not give a free ride. We had a talk in in January that rent would have to be paid, the rent never came and I noticed he had bought some MP3 machine. The irresponsibility sickened me, I ended up cutting his time to my stuff like my 360 or computer.

He ended up giving my comp a virus and it took a week with the help of a friend to get it up and running again. He bunked in my room and I had offered him a room but he refused to take one (later I found out he said he was never offered one which was a lie). He was starting to slack on the simple job I had gotten him, not showing up for work and boss was coming down on me about it. He'd stay up on his laptop and draw all night and be too tired to go to work. And if that was bad enough when I finally got to clean my place up I found gum wrappers everywhere and chewed gum on the furniture or in places, what a pig.

I felt like I had been screwed over royally, I confronted him again about things and he came around some and paid me a little of the rent still owing me a sizable sum of cash. Things were so so between us until I heard from friends he had been saying how I treated him so horribly. He also had told boss to hurry and send his check so he could pay me money he owed, never happened. He lied to his parents about screwing around and just drawing instead of working and the whole situation leaves me disgusted. He took away allot of faith away I had in people, I wouldn't recommend Raikenji as a room mate to my worst enemy.

Then there was this summer's events with my friend Azure, he had wanted to room before raik did. But ended up being guilted by his mother so never came. When he finally wanted to I had just gotten over the raik experience so wasn't really excited about it, but figured it might work out better. I said I would talk it over with my mother who I was taking care of and get it ironed out. So we made plans for him to come over I got him hooked up with work. Finally landed a job in June and things took off quickly. He came by about the end of June and we got ready for con trip, his car had allot of miles on it which worried me and I could feel some problems in engine and brakes.

The plans were pretty much from the hip so to speak and we traveled, wasn't till con I started finding out things weren't going so good. I had set him up with a room with a buddy, guy was a bit uncomfortable with guy stuff so I told him to be on his best behavior. So he doesn't use room at all and I get billed 40$ for it. He didn't have a phone and thinks I ditched him, fenrir had even told him he should have a phone to keep up with people. I did forget him once and that was my fault. I knew some stuff was bugging him but he wouldn't tell me despite me asking. And I was worried I was going to be on the receiving end of AC06 like I watched him trash on his friends there as they had some fight. On way back I could tell his attitude wasn't improving and he said he had doubts about it all.

Back home not more then a day back he wanted to go back and wouldn't really give me any reasons and wouldn't talk about it, said he was all buddy buddy with his mom again. I felt let down again and tried to talk to him about it but got no where even though I had gotten an ok for him to room. He complained about having to pay about 80$ for a driver's license at end of testing phase at driving job. But it was paying about 10$ an hour to start, so he griped about it and was pretty well out of money. I gave him some money to buy food and he stuck around till his mom sent him some money. This went on for about 2 weeks, I didn't ask for anything, we fed him and he used my stuff and electricity, if I was such an asshole would I have let him stay on my dime?

So he went back home and things got worse between us until we weren't really friends anymore, his car broke down when he got home and he's back at square one with family like I warned him he would be, finally got answers on things from the summer months later. I was pretty upset seeing how he didn't tell me much of anything till long passed. We pissed back and forth and finally after replying to my letter I sent him he left me one, and I was just disgusted and blocked him. One of the nights before he just insulted me and was being a bitch so I wasn't in the mood to deal with it. Later he post our business for the world to see and tries to smear me with the help of Raikenji many friends told me. I think it's too bad it turned out like this.

Despite what I've been put through I am attempting to help him fix his car and try to set things right. After getting answers to things I see I was equal in blame with Azure on things. Still I would be very careful about ever taking him as a room mate, him or raik. Maturity and manning up is a quality many people lack these days,You've been Warned.
