so... yeah... i know it's been a long time, and i normally only write when something significant is going on in my life, so this is a pre-empted warning of how obfuscated my head is right now.
earlier this week, i went with a couple of guys to check out a potential apartment for next year. three of us were together (me, rick and tyler), while the fourth one (jake) was on his way from a class. the three of us arrived first, walked inside, and immediately fell in love with the place. the rent was really cheap, it was spacious, and we felt like it would be perfect for us. when jake arrived, he had the same reaction as us. we left feeling like our dreams had come true...
after the apartment, we headed for qdoba because rick hadn't eaten anything yet. we started talking about their friend pavan, who thought he was going to live with rick, tyler, and jake. jake still hadn't broken the news to the poor boy that he wasn't going to be living with them next year (and this is the WEEK OF signing up for rooms). jake kept trying to think of ways of telling him, but he couldn't think of a way of letting him down easily...
so today, i'm eating lunch with tyler and his girlfriend, and we're almost done eating when tyler says something about pavan. then he looks down at his plate like he just said something he shouldn't have. i, being the curious person that i am, asked what was going on. tyler wouldn't say. so liz, his girlfriend, chimes in and says something like, "i'll fill you in on all the bloody details..." she starts telling me about how jake came up with a solution to his problem of letting pavan down softly. apparently, jake came up with the brilliantly impetuous notion of telling pavan that 'I' found the apartment, that 'I' was looking for three other roommates, and that 'I' invited jake, rick, and tyler to live with me (NONE of which was true). my jaw dropped, my heart stopped, and i lost my appetite...
when liz finished telling me what happened, tyler tried to rationalize it, but there's nothing rational about what happened here. tyler kept saying how nothing was going to happen, because "i don't know pavan at all," and, basically, that we were all off the hook. all i feel is this lugubriousness for pavan (and i shouldn't have to feel melancholy or guilty at all in this situation... but these feelings were imposed on me). i feel like i'm reliving my freshman year all over again...
why do people suck so much?
