Imagine If You Will

Imagine this room, then imagine something like it with the messy fairy on steroids. That is what I went over to this morning when I went to put water in Steven's fish tank. This mess...in...Steven's room...? Something is amiss. The room that I so meticulously cleaned before I left, the room that I brag about constantly when talking about Steven and just how proud I am of him and how clean he is, was a complete ship wreck. Now... you may be asking yourself how a room that is always so clean got so messy. Well, I'll tell you! Apparently a friend of Steven's roommates needed a place to stay because his lease expired. So they put him in Steven's room! Without Steven's permission. And what does said person do? Makes it a complete mess! You cannot walk on carpet because there is no carpet it is all covered. The bathroom was covered in his hair from a recent haircut, all over the floor! The bathroom that I also cleaned!

So this morning I go to take care of some things, and all the fish but one had died without me getting a phonecall. To my knowledge they were fine with the feeders I had given them. If I had known they were dying I would have done water changes or something. But I go over there to dead fish and a naked hairy boy asleep on the crap on the floor.

I had to get out of there before I either snapped or started cleaning.

Never Rent From TNT. Ever.

They are the worst management company in Blacksburg. I had nothing but issues with them when I lived in my old apartment. Everyone I have ever met who has ever rented from them swears up and down how horrible they are.

I personally did everything on the move-out checklist. It took me weeks to do all the ridiculous cleaning they wanted. When I got my security deposit back I was charged $125 for a professional cleaning company to clean it. Nowhere in the lease does it state that we have to use a professional cleaning company except for carpets and we had no carpets. Only one light bulb was listed as blown out on my move-out inspection and the bulb actually blew during inspection. I got charged for 4 light bulbs. I also got charged for 2 stricker plates. Those are the little plates that go on your doors between the door and the frame. Yeah, I'm sure we stole those just for kicks. In actuality the lazy workmen probably just forgot to put them on when they re-did our locks. Among other things. So the security deposit was a little over half of what it should have been.

I'm super excited to get contact from psycho- ex roomie (P.E.R.) blaming me for all the things we were charged for. I'm SO excited for that. I mean, it's not like I still have nightmares about her or anything. It's not like I live with daily reminders about how horrible she was to me. Just when I thought things were over: nope. This is going to open up another can of worms. I can block her from everything but my phone. Verizon is dumb and doesn't let you block numbers on a cell phone. It will be tempting to change my number.

However, little does TNT know that my mother works for a lawyer and gets free legal council.

A Downer.

This morning I let myself have a sleep-in day. I needed it. I did not have a good night last night. I spent the whole night thinking and journaling and when I finally went to sleep I had a horrible dream about Steven.

In the dream Steven was giving some public speech and was talking about his first love in front of a HUGE audience. Then there was one of those moments of "honey come up here, you're my inspiration" and it wasn't me. Kind of like in movies when someone thinks they're getting an award and they start walking up to the stage and then they realize that their name wasn't called... just like that. Then I ran away crying.

Not a good dream or really a good think before I went to bed. I also can't find my flesh tone camisole and I really need that for work. Boo.

Anywho, isn't that bed fabulous? I love tans and blues together.

My Mother gets results.

So no one told me that the $500 deductible is only for our car...the insurance pays for the repairs to the other people... That would have been good information to know. I've been stressing out and extremely upset for nothing...

But the "lovely" lady who I hit is now claiming that she was injured...right...when she was talking and laughing with me as we waited for the cops... My insurance company offered her $500 not to sue. Greedy.

I really hate people sometimes. I really, really do. Words cannot express how sometimes I think most people are really the scum of the freaking planet. If we're supposedly evolved beings who are so full of higher thought and intellectual levels that put us above the animals how come we can't learn to be nice? How come we value green pieces of paper so much? How come we don't take care of our own? To me, that means the whole human race, cause we're all in this together. And just cause you were born into a good place doesn't mean that you don't have to share what you have with others. Maybe the point your well off is to help others until they can help themselves. And one day if I'm ever so fortunate as to be financially stable that's exactly what I'm going to try to do.

But whatever, I'm sending the bitch a Christmas card.

Cause I'm a nice person.

Some Beatles lyrics for your inspiration:

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

$493 and some change

To replaced a damn bumper... really?

How about I take her out to get her nails done?

Put her kids through college?

Ugh.

And they NEVER contacted us about the estimate to approve it. We're totally going to be switching insurance companies. We have had nothing but issues with them and the people on the phone are always so rude. I hate rude people with a passion.

Never get internet from Comcast. I called them as soon as I moved to ask them if my internet could be transfered and if my promotion would transfer too. They said it would but that they couldn't set up the transfer until 2 weeks before. Well it's exactly 2 weeks before I move so I called them up. And suddenly my promotion isn't going to transfer...and they want to charge me $59.99 a month for internet plus a $20 transfer fee (I'm moving 2 blocks). And I'm like...see you later I'm going to verizon where it's 34.99, the modem is free, and it's only a 19.99 dollar activation fee and that's it. And that price of $34.99 might go down since mom and dad have a verizon phone line....and apparently you can't get incentives unless you have a phone-line with verizon... the 19.99 incentive would be nice with the first month free... My mom's on that one. She's also on the insurance people.

One thing I have learned in my life, it's never a good idea to cross my mother, especially when it's about me. She gets mad and she gets results. And it's really one of the things I respect most about her.

So...hand me the classified section. Amanda's looking for a second job...

I want to know why the universe hates me so much!

So I'm on my way to run errands and get sweet things to do for my sweetie. I'm parked at a red light. And I'm looking around. In my peripheral the cars start moving so naturally I put my foot on the gas a little. But apparently too much since I'm on a hill. I bump the person in front of me. And now I'm going to be paying to have her bumper replaced because of the nickel sized scratch the screw on my license plate caused. I mean seriously. I can't afford this. Luckily I didn't get any tickets. Score there. No damage to my car. Seriously. I'm so FUCKED! My insurance has a $500 deductible...seriously what is the point of insurance when you pay so you don't have to pay? Am I just waiting for the time when I get in a wreck that will cost me 50,000? And I'll still have that $500 deductible. I think moving of campus was the worst decision I ever made. Everything has started going wrong since then. Crazy roomie, worst semester for my grades, working too much because I need a job to support myself, and that effects my grades because I have no time to focus on school work. So it's like...why am I in school again? I want to know what kind of voodoo my wiccan ex roomie is doing to me on a full moon. Seriously?
