I've been noticing a giant fucking lot of tension in the apartment lately, so I decided I'd chill out in the living room today instead of my bedroom and wait for someone to knock the chip off my shoulder. It's like my Gandhi way of fighting. Of course Kristen and Caitlin surfaced and sat awkwardly on the couch and stared at me for a few minutes, which I expected. They've been having some secret meetings and writing secret notes on each other's doors. Finally, after I contemplating asking, "So why are you guys total bitches lately?" they said they wanted to talk to me about something. And it turns out that they have a problem with something Richard did. Actually, ONE of them had a problem. And instead of talking to me about it the first time it became a problem, she sat and let it fester, then decided to talk about it to the other, and then they tried to figure out how to talk to me about it... when I really would have appreciated if they had just came out and said, "Hey, I don't like this." And when I told Richard, he was upset that they didn't just talk to HIM about the issue. Which is also a valid problem. I really hate how fucking passive aggressive the people in this apartment are. Constant notes on the whiteboards and talking to others and not speaking up. It's not healthy. Sometimes I just want to push the envelope to see how far I can take a situation before someone actually SPEAKS something.
Rayne, however, has been fantastic to me today. She came home and greeted me with a hug, and then we talked about our weekends. Then I helped her with her FAFSA and with choosing summer courses. However, she's in a huge trouble situation with money, and I feel bad for her. She was crying earlier and I tried consoling her, but she's got a LOT going on. She may have to drop out, and I really hope it doesn't come to that. Maybe she can take NCTC classes, they're only like $15 an hour or something. But I'm going with her to the scholarship office on Friday to see if I can help her find someone to talk to about all this.
I just got back from the studio, starting my latest painting, which is due... next Tuesday? Gawd, I hope it's next Tuesday. It might be this Thursday. In which case, it will be another stressful week. Anyway. I'm excited for this one. This one I'm going to show to Mr. Gorischek if it goes accordion to plain.
