501

Oct 28, 2005 12:43

Well since I've been living with these people for almost two months, i think its perfectly acceptable for me to write about them and it not be purely judgements.

~There are 3 bedrooms in my suite and one bathroom, in 501a lives Malik and now Dave. Malik is a pretty cool kid, he's got a very addictive personality, for instance he doesn't know when to stop drinking, and he can't say no to pot. I think he's already dropped 2 classes, and he's missed several of the classes he still takes. I like the kid, I really do, but he's on a path of destruction. Sometimes he gets mad that I don't hang out with them but their plans usually fall through or its something that generally does not interest me.
~Quincy used to live with Malik but everyone hated him and if you knew the kid you'd hate him too. He is one of those people who will talk about you the second you step outta the room, gossip queen to the max. I'm not saying im the most masculine guy, but this kid made me seem like a linebacker. He is not to be trusted and to be avoided at all costs, once i was in the cafeteria and I saw a pen fly at my head, I turned around and there was the little shit, he then proceeded to ask me to sign his petition for student government, i laughed in his face. Sometimes i see him on campus, we make small talk, or he'll criticize what he can, so you must keep a certain shield up when approached, he usually wants something.
~Dave lives with Malik now, he's doesn't bother me so much, he's just kind of there. my roomate says Dave has no personality of his own. One time i looked in his closet and there was countless variations of blue striped dress shirts, it was like when you see inside Doug's closet and its all green sweater vests.

~In 501b there dwells creatures beyond your wildest nightmares. Dan is the strangest kid I've ever met, he used to steal my Redken maneuver before I had a talk with him. I first knew there was a perpetraitor because I gently rub across the top of the gel, while he would dip his fat fingers straight downward. It wasn't hard to pinpoint whom it was, they left a trace of their DNA, a single strand of hair in the jar. if you know me at all, you know not to mess with my hair product. Then one day it was discovered that he was once convicted of grand larceny, apparently his friend had a key to best buy, and they stole a bunch of electronics but were apprehended. He smokes pot 24/7 and sometimes they do coke. It disgusts me. There is seriously something wrong with this kid, one day i awoke to him caressing my face. Out bathroom door doesn't lock and just now I was in the bathroom, and ill be honest, i was dropping a deuce, this kid comes in, shaves, then strips and gets into the shower. Im not a priss, but i think bathroom time is meant to be in solitude. I couldn't do or say anything, I just sat there bewildered.
~Adam used to live with Dan but he couldn't concentrate on his work and Dan always overstepped the roomate boundaries, so he got out while he could. Adam's a really nice kid, a little warped on his views of the world, but I always tried to help him whenever he had girlfriend problems and such. He makes really weird noises and says off the wall comments sometimes but me and James would usually just laugh, although most of the time we'd be horrified inside. Adam still comes to visit a lot, sometimes he doesn't wear clothes, I told him this must stop and I won't allow him to sit anywhere.
~Miguel is Dan's new roomate, they are like best friends and when Adam moved out, Miguel jumped at the oppurtunity to live here. Plainly put, he's a scavenger, he always comes into our room while we are sleeping looking for food or drinks. He's a giant with a heart of gold, but I swear the kid is slightly retarted, when angry he finds it comforting to punch walls. Whenever we hear stuff fall we just assume Miguel knocked over something. Miguel and Dan don't understand what their keys are for, and when they come home from classes they don't knock, they just hit the front door as hard as they can and expect someone to come running to open it. Some days i just let them linger for a while, it makes me laugh to know theyre standing out there baffled. James refers to them as the animals and they're the reason we lock our room when we leave.

Which Brings me to 501c. I have the best roomate in the world, James keeps me up until 2 am because I'll sit in bed cracking up at all his stories. Most of the time he isn't even trying to be funny, he's just one of those people who is. I write down all the funny things he says and whenever I need a laugh, I can just open up the notebook. We keep eachother safe from the animals and keep them in their place. We both know that if it weren't for the other we would have moved out a long time ago. I got really lucky on that aspect of college. I can't wait for my friends to meet him or to bring him home one break, you will all love him.

Sometimes living here sucks, but fortunately I know how to laugh through it, I love college.
