personal flaws are being overcome everywhere!
My roommate, Dan, is a jerk. Due to my happy mood at the moment I won't generate a list of all the unreasonable and uneccessary things that he does/did that make him a jerk.
To make a long story short, he sent me an e-mail today (read: communication issues) listing all the things that make him mad (mostly dealing with the fact that the apartment is always a pigsty). In it, he blames Coleman and I for the waterbugs we have in our apartment, a dead mouse he found in the living room, and the lack of cleaning of the floor. I was going place an image of our "pigsty" here but it would be silly.
Anyway ... the last year of living with the guy has been quite a taxing ordeal and considering how difficult it is to get Dan to say anything, the e-mail was a big deal.
After agonizing over confronting him about it (read: confrontation issues), i decided to just tell him how i felt. I swear to god I had to prepare myself for hours just prevent myself from getting into a large fight, mostly spent talk with friends.
Surprisingly, I kept my complete calm, despite him getting agitated a few times. I explained to him how I felt, why i thought he was wrong, and how we could make the situation better. He in general didn't care (read: republican)
While I'm sure he'll have more problems later, I feel like I've done something that I have such a huge fucking problem doing.
plus! HURJ is basically finished. I'll upload a pic of the cover when I get one at this computer. I bet you are drooling with anticipation.
