in retrospect...
I won't be locking this journal. It's an inconvenience to me and to be honest, I couldn't really care who reads this... but just because this is a "public journal" does not give you the right to complain if I happen to whine. You don't have to read it. Go ahead and block me. But I'll continue to post how I feel, regardless of the reality.
With that said, I've been having some problems with my roommates and 'friends' who don't clean up after themselves. I feel like I'm taking care of everyone else, picking up their trash and cleaning up the food they leave everywhere... I need to talk with them about. I would totally leave their stuff there and make them take care of it themselves if we hadn't already had an ant problem recently because they left their food out AND if this weren't my HOUSE. Some ground rules need to be set... again.
The story is complicated and I don't really feel like writing it all out... but the short version is that I feel like I have to take care of one of my roomies... a close friend of mine. And by taking care of her I mean that sometimes I feel like her mom... helping her take care of her paperwork, asking the questions she's too afraid to ask, etc... basically stuff I would make my mom do for me. Even her best friend (the other roomie) told me I take too much crap from my friend and that I should stop helping her out. The problem is, I worry that if I stop she'll end up being lost. So, I've tried to create some space between us but it's awkward.
And then I have to worry about visitors and the space I'll have to house them... like my cousin coming to visit... my dad coming too. And to be honest, I want the roomies out of here asap, they're just not looking for apartments as intently as they should be.
.... arg.
I'm just tired.
