Looking online, I found a few one-bedroom places for under $500/mo, but she wants a two bedroom so we can use the second one as a studio/storage. We have so much stuff because we used to live in a house for seven, so downsizing is imminent. xD
...though most of the stuff we have actually belongs to Joel. For someone who swears that he could 'live on the clothes off his back,' he certainly carries a lot of luggage.
But I have my own issues with him right now. >>

Mm... sorry. Joel is a roommate we acquired after one of our friends had to move back to Florida. He makes more money than I do, but he's always asking for money from me. Most of his paycheck goes towards pot. And while I'm not opposed to recreational or medicinal marijuana (I have anxiety and have heard that small doses of it can help make me functional again), I don't think its wise to spend so much time smoking when he already owes me $900 from rent and bills that I paid. Additionally, he got a puppy when he can hardly afford rent and we live on the fourth floor of an apartment building that doesn't allow dogs.
My biggest problem with him right now is that he's a 19-year-old-boy. I get that he's had a hard life and all, but you would think that after three years on his own he would have a sense of responsibility.
I just feel like most of my paycheck goes towards cleaning up after his messes. =_____=

That would be rather irritating wouldn't it. I'm sorry. This fellow sounds like my schmuck brother. I hope he cleans up his act a bit for you. toning it down on the weed for a start would be good, since it causes cancer, and well... tiny holes in your brain. A small amount of usage leads to this much less often, but inhaling smoke of any kind isn't good for you. Causes damage to your lungs which causes lung cancer, and some of the toxins it releases can cause testicular and pancreatic cancer. ...I do research on everything remotely political so I know how to vote. On this one I didn't really care either way.
As for his other shenanigans I think you should get together and have a serious talk about it. Your whole household. The dog thing is ridiculous. lol.

If I were to use marijuana, I would use a smokeless variety: in butter or pill form. Liz has a smoke intolerance and I have bronchitis. But as far as harmful substances, I think caffeine is worse for you in terms of addiction. My only real issue with the weed is that he and his friends are constantly high. He sobers up for work, but there is always a billow of smoke coming from his room as soon as he gets home. After awhile, that gets expensive, and like I said he owes me money.
His dog is adorable, but he didn't even take care of his cat when he had it. He seems to love his dog more than he did his cat, but he kind of keeps her in his room when he's here, and that's about the size of a small dorm room. I feel bad for her because she's always in this cramped little space. And its partially because Joel is very territorial, and partially because he thinks we'll ruin his dog if he lets her stay out here. The kid is effed up paranoid.
We've talked to him about it, and he always cleans up his act for about a week or so and then relapses. He says that he'll pay me back as soon as he pays off his other debts, but I haven't seen any effort on his behalf towards doing that. I started charging interest, and he doesn't seem to care. I might have to take him to court if it reaches over $1500. The money that I've been using to save his ass? That was supposed to go towards a down payment on a house, not bail my friends out of things they could have avoided.

He's being an irresponsible jack-hole. The dog (unless it's the size of a rat) needs more space, he should be spending his money paying you back not buying weed, and if he just keeps relapsing then he's not going to stop. I would say take him to court, but if I were you I would probably see if it were at all possible to get a different roommate. One who's not a dead-head. They tend to owe you money until the end of time, and always be "paying off other debts" which may or may not exist. Just saying.
On another note. My lady is supposed to be coming over, but she's taking a nap for freaking ever. :(

"Irresponsible jack-hole" is about on the button. But like I said, Liz is looking for a new place while she's in Indy, so my situation will be improving soon enough.
Yay ladies and yay naps! xDD

lol. Nerd love is awesome. :) My lady has discovered Firefly. We have almost completed the series once now, and she's loving it. She was sheltered by somewhat overprotective parents who are now having all kinds of trouble with her little brother, and being all dramatic, and making her (and my) life complicated. They need to chill the heck out. All I'm saying.

I love that show soooo much. I hate how short it is though. The only good thing about that being that fox didn't get a chance to ruin it in like the fifth season like they do with all their good shows.

Bah, now I just miss my partner even more.. I can't believe I booked such a long holiday, I won't see him till the 10th! :cry:
It can not come soon enough.. though I'm sure I'll be able to find things to do next week and that will make the wait easier. Hopefully not everyone will be back to work and uni immediately so I'll have someone to hang out with..

Well, it was Joss Whedon, so that's something. If it had been scheduled at a proper timeslot, it probably would have survived long enough to get ruined by FOX, but not until at least season six. And hopefully by then it would have resolved everything because... well... there are only so many episodes of Mal calling Inara a whore, Book disapproving, Walsh playing with dinosaurs... yadda yadda.
ljosberinn: Just makes something you can look forward, I suppose. I wouldn't mind a proper holiday. I've worked every single on of mine..

I've been watching the most current Doctor Who. I'll probably navigate my way over there soon enough...
In other news, my parents are the best parents ever.
With most families, when one of their children comes out of the closet there is an uneasy silence for awhile.
With my family, I came out of the closet and my dad pays my rent for a year so I can save up for a place where me and my partner can live together alone.

That is awesome news Hyena, congratulations! Hope you find a good place soon, sounds like you could really use it. :)
I'm tentatively considering moving into my partner's place in the summer, one of his roommates is moving out, so I would have my own room. Neither of us have ever lived with people we're dating, so it's definitely better to have our own spaces, but I do spend almost all of my time at his as it is anyway. The only downside is that I do really love the place I live at and the people I live with..
Also we've only been together since September, so I don't like making plans into the future, in case we're just head over heels right now because it's such a new relationship. I'm generally an optimist, but I really don't like making big plans or building up expectations..

I think its important to live with each other for awhile, if only so you know what their personal boundaries are.
Me and Liz have been living together for four and a half years, but in varying degrees of 'togetherness.' First we were just roommates in the dorms, dancing around the "are you bi" question and reminding herself that she was in a relationship... though that was kind of fading. And then we moved into a house with four other people and learned that no matter how crazy and neurotic WE may be, no one is more crazy or neurotic than our friends. And then she broke up with Josh and I was all "yay?" and she was all "<3" and we were all "OTP?" And our friends were all "Jesus, FINALLY!" AND THEN we moved out of that house into a bigger place with FIVE other housemates with even MORE tension because one of them was two-faced and manipulative, two of them were high all the time, and the remaining two were always fighting. Well, the two that were always fighting ended with Fighting Guy 1 and Two-Faced Girlfriend moving out and screwing us over, even after a speech on how communication was the greatest way to solve any problem. Soooo... then we got sued because we couldn't make rent on time. And then I found out who my REAL friends were and moved in with them... then regretted it because I realized that those people were "Fighting Person #2" and "High-all-the-time #1." Oh. And Liz.
So the point of that incoherent babbling was that we've been through about a ton together since we were freshmen in college and at this point if we found out that we can't live together alone then we must not have been paying attention for the past five years.
Which brings me to my next statement: with the money that my dad sent me, I'm going to buy a promise ring!
Which brings me to my next very important conclusion: its 9:00 and I'm still awake. Therefore, I go to sleep now.
G'night! =DDD

Haha, wow. Lots of drama, eh? Long-term relationships still frighten me a bit, so four years sound scary.. but with my guy now I honestly wouldn't mind it I think. I still can't believe how perfect he is. ^^;
Good night.. or morning? It's two in the afternoon here and my man just got back to his place from a trip to Berlin, so I think I'm going to have him call me as soon as he's settled in a bit. :D

Mmm, the person I was involved with that I lived with STARTED as a roommate. And that was fine, but I'm sure it is something to be cautious about.
