(no subject)
I find out next week if I still have a job after my contract ends in May. They sounded pretty positive and used the disclaimer that the renewal will be based on performance and such, but they said they see no reason why we wouldn't all be renewed. While this has appeased me to some extent, I am still nervous, because that's just how I am. With each person that quits, I feel a little more safe.
Our house is a mess right now and it's kind of bothering me. Dishes seem endless as of late and I was packing it and unpacking it every morning before I started work last week and it kind of got to me a little. I just hate feeling like I'm the only one who does anything. Michael does occasionally clean, but he'll do a massive cleanup once in a blue moon but I'd rather just have it reasonably tidy and clean rather than deal with filth until that one, big clean comes along. Although, I don't even particularly like it when he does it because anything I have lying around, or anything Alys leaves lying around ends up in my room because he doesn't know who it belongs to and he doesn't place it in my room, he just dumps it everywhere. We have this running joke where I call his version of cleaning, "rearranging stuff". Like, "Hey Michael, last time you moved things around, what did you do with this?" Because it's so half-assed sometimes. The general house looks great but I have to wade through rubbish all in my room which majority of the time is not even mine and have to hunt for things that were previously easily accessible.
Although, as much as I moan about my roommates, I love them to death. We're a family. We hang out together all the time, watch tv together, go out to dinner with each other, go shopping, everything. We're very rarely in our room by ourselves unless we're sleeping. Alys has been having real health problems lately, after she had gastro, but possibly not gastro, as it appears to have come back. She was crying today because she had to come home from work because she was in so much pain and I felt for her. She's like a little sister. She's sometimes annoying, sometimes naive and I get fed up that she doesn't give me privacy, but under all that it's love. We had a video conference with our old roommate Giordana over skype and we all sat on the couch smushed up talking to her and it wasn't unusual. Like, that's what we do all the time. We don't just live together; we're great friends that like each other's company and I'm glad I have that relationship with them both and have found two people that I'm so compatible with in regards to a living situation.
Also, you should definited check out this band, Bonfire Nights. I think they're brilliant and that's saying something because I never like the bands that add me to twitter/myspace (lol except for that one time The Dresden Dolls added me to myspace and I was like, "WAIT, WHAT?"). You can also download a few of their tracks here.
