I will be very glad when this move is all over. Pat and Matt got into a fight last night over stuff, we all had a talk, lots of mean things were said, and we are all just sick of it. In the end Paul pretty much implied that Pat was a liar and a gossip and said some pretty nasty things about us all on his facebook *sigh* Paul then went to bed before the conversation/fight was over, and therefore didn't see us all really talk and make up. All in all it ended well, but Paul didn't stick around to see that so he wrote more nasty things on his facebook. I makes me laugh when someone is saying that we are bad people or whatever, but as soon as he is mad at us its ok to say rude things on his facebook...seems kinda hypocritical. I decided to message him on facebook and explain, in a non rude way, that despite the fact that he thinks he might know us all well after only 7 months, that he in fact does not know any of us deep down, and that he should reserve his harsh judgments since he truly can't make that kind of call. I also said that no one in this situation is 100% to blame, the we all had a hand in this, and perhaps to try and understand that a little, as it seemed pretty easy for him to blame us for everything, while remaining conveniently oblivious to his own hand in the situation.
I gotta say one thing he did say made me really angry too before he stormed off to bed, which is part of the reason I messaged him, since he didn't stick round to hear my retort. He told Pat that the only reason Pat cleans up the house is so he can yell at others when they don't clean things up right away (which is kinda what started this whole situation *roommate chaos*) Right after he said that Pat and I both said that No that was not the case, and he just laughed then stormed off. How dare he say something like that ,cause as I told him, he doesn't know any of us, and Pat is not that kind of person, and I don't have to say that cause I'm his brother, I just know the kind of person Pat is. It makes me so angry to think that someone like Paul has the nerve to say something like that, its so clear that he doesn't understand any of us or the people we are, but has no problem saying rude and untrue things about us to others. Makes me very mad, and not that Pat, Joe or I care in the least what Paul has to say about us to others, anyone he speaks to is of no consequence to us, cause all our real friends know us for who we are, and if anyone would be swayed by his words, then they are not our real friends, or they also don't know us well enough.
OH by the way, Paul is my roommate Matt's boyfriend who has all but moved in with us since after Christmas. He DOES not pay rent here, but uses our facilities, watches TV, uses our internet, runs our shower and washer and dryer, and uses our kitchen and its facilities, 7 days a week. We were also not asked by Matt or Paul if we wanted him to become a full time member of the house. So you can see why things have degenerated between us, Matt and Paul on one side, and Pat, Joe and I on the other. If our landlords knew they would freak out, as they should be charging Paul a portion of our rent for staying here and paying for the increased heat and hot water bill from having a 5th live with us. We are all moving our separate ways come the end of august, and i had hoped to avoid the fight we had tonight, but Pat couldn't handle the stress and anger anymore, so he blew up tonight.
I probably should have left well enough alone and not messaged Paul on facebook, but one thing I cannot stand for are people who refuse to try and understand the other side of the story. Its so easy to place blame on someone and just ignore any of the things you may have done to create the situation as well. If after he cools down he still decides to place the whole blame on us and still talk crap about us to others, then he is truly a fool who isn't worth any of our time and he is the kinda of bad person I suspect he might be.
Anyway thats enough of my rant, at least we all patched up with Matt, as long as Paul doesn't convince Matt otherwise after tonight. I'm gonna have to spiritually purify this flat after we finish cleaning so none of the crazy roommate madness lingers in the air.
