i live with a pyscho
I'm too lazy to re-type this, so this is from a gchat with an ex-coworker:
Ryan: it is
hows the housing situation going?
Sent at 11:30 PM on Monday
me: omg, ryan
until i find a new place, i am living with a psycho
Ryan: really
tell me the story
Sent at 11:32 PM on Monday
me: sorry, i got up to get pasta
well....
complicated background is this:
i was kind of creeped out before i moved in, but we were on a team together when we were 7, so my mom pushed hard for me to move in with her since she was a "known quantity" and had "such nice parents"...and i eventually caved
well, she's bizarre for many reasons, but
2 weeks ago, i came home from a night out, not in the state of mind to talk, and that's when she chose to tell me that "because she was so screwed up for the ex-boyfriend" (who dumped her and lives and south korea), she needed me to move out within 6 weeks. and i'm not on the lease
Sent at 11:37 PM on Monday
me: ever since then she has literally hidden from me. i have not seen her face. and tonight i came home and she had hidden all of the pots and pans, and was sitting in her room, with all the lights off, at the computer with the door closed. i could tell because the glow of the computer shone through the thin crutain
am i weird or is this creepy?
Ryan: how are you so screwed up that you need a roomate to move out?
me: it doesn't make sense
but also, who (a) says their mom told them they needed to make their roommate move out when they're 24
Ryan: you know she hid them, or are they just packed away?
me: and (b) yeah, b
Ryan: is she getting new pots
me: she's not getting new pots. they were her parent's set from their engagement or something like that. she literally took all of her cookware and moved it out of the kitchen
Ryan: so is it under her bed?
me: she also sent me a sappy-sweet email at 4pm friday saying she was going to ny, but call her if i need anything, and see me sunday!
weird
apparently under her bed. i'm not checking or anything
Ryan: ok
do you have sports equipment
bats
me: hahsahahahah
Ryan: tennis racket, whatever
me: to defend myself
Ryan: just saying, you might need it
me: hahaha
another friend told me to hide my toothbrush
oh man
Ryan: you could try to out weird her?
rock slowly back and forth
me: i don't really want to be that weird
Ryan: twitch
me: hahahah
one problem
Ryan: you know the drill
me: you can't outweird someone who hides from you
Ryan: sure you can
find out were she hides, then hide there yourself
tell her the spot is taken
me: in her bed! oh ryan!
Ryan: Emily, what do you want me to tell you. It takes a level of commitment.
Ryan: it is
