first post, "wonderful roomate"

apparently i have no ability to stay on top of my academic studies, i have 3 midterms next week and i've yet to start studying.

let me fill you in about my living situation. currently i live with 3 roommates. Two of them i already knew prior to moving in with them. since mid-July, another roommate has been living with us, let's call him Phillip, Phillip has been eating my food. now, i do not mean occasionally eating a random handful of chips or a drinking a glass of my apple juice. i mean he religiously ate my cereal, cooked a dinner with my eggs, drank my beverages on a daily basis. i assumed he did this only occasionally until i noticed that he never bought his own groceries, i mean never. what could possess a person to just eat somebody else's food? apparently he's been eating my other 2 roommate's food too.

what's kind of amusing yet surprising and not in a good way, is that about an hour ago, my roommate Terry just got back home after a night out. Terry is a fashion collector, he seems to be into the whole underground hip hop/skater subculture. he has a vast assortment of shoes, clothes, hats and body accessories which he leaves mostly in his own room and the living room. so anyways, when he gets home he sees Phillip and his friend walk by in the hallway. turns out Phillip helped himself to one of Terry's vintage t shirts. i figure Phillip wore one of those t shirts to his dance practice since there's where he came back from.

(backstory: last night Terry and i were sharing our revelation that Phillip had been eating our food on a regular basis thereby forgoing the need to actually shop for his own groceries)

conversation goes something like this:


me: so u guys just ate and fucked around downtown, eh?
(i'm asking Terry how his night out was, when Phillip and his friend walks by)
Terry: yeah it was pretty----hey is that my shirt?
Phillip: oh yeah, i borrowed it, btw my friend left some money on the counter cuz he took one of your gatorades.

then phillip continues walking right past us down the hallway into his room, like everything was absolutely normal. fucking amazing this guy, lol. Terry and I are both shocked how bad a roommate phillip is.

i still need to edit and finish writing this story. amusing roommates i have
