My New Troubles

I like everything about my new house. It’s tiny but looks so cozy with a mishmash of old furniture (we have a rocking chair which looks like they bought it straight from a 70s movie set). Now that I don’t share my room with two other people I can play my music aloud. Ah the freedom! I love it.

But there is a little hitch, isn’t there always. Well this one is in the form of my weird roommate. Where should I even start? She thinks that we are like this married couple (god hopes not literally). She doesn't like going out with me if there is someone else. This one time, I invited RS along without telling her before hand, she got so pissed! She keeps using all this funny nicknames that people generally reserve for their partners (for the lack of a better word). And every time I do something homely she is always there to praise my housekeeping skills, I felt nice in the beginning (obviously appreciation is always welcome) but after a point of a time it’s downright weird. She is a nice person and all that but I don’t like public display of affection in any form. Please I will just gag myself! 

I was getting used to it when her brother dropped in from out of town. I don’t have any issues with her family crashing so, I went along.The day he landed I got out of office pretty early (which I should say was a bloody miracle, I dint see the light of day in a week so I was pretty excited to go back home and relax). I called her to ask when she was coming for which she says “Please don’t go into the house, my brother is in there”. I had to wait outside the house for an hour before the madame turned up. I didn’t get it, what will I do to her brother if I meet him without a chaperon! I dint say anything, I let it go chalking up as to her weirdness. But, it got weirder, every time I had to go the room where he was staying, she has to check with him and see that it’s alright that I enter and then she had to stay there the whole time glaring at me. I mean cmon! I am the girl here, what would I do? I just couldn't deal with so I took the easy way out and crashed at PP’s place. Then I get this message from her asking as to what’s wrong, as if we were having a lover’s tiff and I walked out of the house. PP just kept laughing the whole night at my plight.

And then there is a matter of our maid. She is a grand old lady, who used to be a masseuse and she hated my roommate with all her heart. So, every day after work she comes and sits in my room and starts off with the day’s bitching session, where she cribs and cribs about my roommate and her wayward ways. I cannot be mean to old people so I sit there nodding while she goes on talking about her life and everything else under the sun. BTW she thinks I am good because I cook, buy stuff for the kitchen and I have too many clothes (apparently that’s the measure of people’s goodness: the more clothes you have the better :D )

That’s the update, thought life would be simpler without two roommates and their drama but I guess I should never jump to such conclusions. Anyways I am not going to think about all these negative things, I am planning on revamping this whole place. I am checking out martha’s living for design ideas :D I am going to buy posters and make it all nice.

Will post some pictures soon  :)
