Ash Wednesday
09:11 AM

I have completely forgotten that it is Ash Wednesday. Argh, I’m so bad. I packed a good lunch and everything, and I’m going to Shima’s for the big anticipated dinner! Go Christ! Anyways, God forgive me. Hmmm, what am I going to give up this Lenten season? Any ideas?

I understand that living with roommates, you’ve got to compromise and co-operate with one another, but when is enough enough? Maybe I’m a spoiled bratt that always got his own way back at home, but I find is extremely hard to continuously having to sacrifice, when others don’t seem to be doing their fair share.

Every morning, there has to be a fight for the washroom: and this will continue until the end of the term as we both work at 8:30 and he takes ridiculously long showers. The phone is another issue: I’m a girl and I need the phone. But it is constantly tied down by my roommate and his girlfriend. And the usual problems arises: dishes are never clean, people continuously “missing” the toilet when pissing. I’m tired of this crap.

I know I am a selfish bastard who wants everything my own way, but my tolerance has drained to my toes. I have politely spoken about these problems, but it seems that he just doesn’t care. People have been telling me to “suck it up”, but I’m really afraid that one day I will just explode— I’m tired of being a doormat. And, yes I’m only on the halfway point in my rent lease, oh my. Here’s another reason why I wanna go to U of T. Argh. Is there such thing as a “good roommate”? Is that, too, an oxymoron? Well, maybe not, Gary, is the best roommate I’ve had, like, ever!

Enough ranting. Weekend was fun, Paolo has this amazing bachelor pad midtown at Bathurst & St Clair. What a nice neighbourhood. Nice downtown atmosphere, without being exactly downtown. Efficient streetcar service, and exciting storefronts. Argh, so nice. :D Had a very good time, me and Paolo passed out, but donno why Martina was all sober— Shawn left early :D Also got to see Mambo Italiano at Eric’s on Saturday, what a good movie, lol. So funny :D I love Angelo’s shirts! WOO!

That is all. Oh weekend, weekend, please come to me now!

lol, I take ridiculously long in the shower too! HA...but my roommates never really complained...mainly cuz I took them in the morning, usually before either of them are awake. And dishes piled up in my apartment too! I usually ended up doing them, but I don't mind, because I make them take out the garbage, since I refuse to even touch it. You just have to nag and be bitchy, and you'll get your way ;-)
