of love, life and living it up

there is this blog that i love called "i hate my roomate". its hilarious as hell, and the thing is, as i read it i could relate!! i know what its like to be driven up the wall by irrelevancies and pettiness and that is why as soon as i can, i shall get my own place, no sharing required, nothing. and if i do get one it will be someone i get along with and who understands that space is the key to sharing an apartment.

if i was to write an "i hate my roomate blog", it would be about the roomate i had the last two years of high school. menn!! living with her was a challenge, and what was worse is that i couldnt get another room - okay. i think im getting ahead of myself here. let me explain. i was in chox (limuru girls) for all my high school years. unfortunately. but i did have alot of fun though. despite misbehaving, my inability to shut up during prep time (y'all who were in boarding school know the way they used to make a big deal out of that kinda stuff to the point of stupidity) and skiving to go for funkies they made me a dorm cop in form three. apart from all the petty drama that comes from being a cop, it was kinda cool. my pals and i used all our privileges to the fullest and made the most of it ... ah, the memories ...anyway, thats another post altogether.

the downside was having to share the room with her. for blogging puroses, let her be known as Fura. the school had this whole outdated tradition thing ati how the cops of certain houses have to share rooms so i ended up with her. all i can say about that experience is NJE-SUS!! chile had more mood swings than a menopausal mathe and everything i did was wrong, from bringing pals to the room to the way id skive preps or church sometimes to just plain breathing or even looking her way. other cops used to dis us ati we were like an old married couple cos we didnt talk at all (she thought i wasnt worth her time and after a while i gave up being nice). we both tried to move but the matron wouldnt let us and no other cop would switch with me cos her tantrums were legendary - one time someone borrowed her buckets and they came back wet and i swear you could see the smoke coming out of her ears the way it does in the cartoons she had fura-d!! anyway, it was a living hell trying to live with someone who is in a perpetually bad mood (thus the name Fura - shes angry at the world to this day, only God knows why) in my view she took herself waaay too seriously and it was exhausting walking on eggshells around her. as far as roomates go, she was the worst. and if i had kept a blog about her ... well, lets just say that maybe i wouldnt have held it against her for being who she is - nasty as it may be.

then there is my big sister. its so strange.when i was younger i couldnt stand her, but as we get older we cant get enough of each others stories. but we used to share a room and menn! my sis can be a real bitch. the whole decapitating of favourite dolls and reading of diaries was in full swing all the time. and she was just nasty as hell most of the time. but im over that now.but she is still the nosiest person we both know so i leave nothing with her cos she cant keep a secret either.

haiya. now ive digressed. where was i going with this ... oh yeah. looking back makes me think that the one i have now aint too bad (dont get me wrong, im still counting the days until she leaves - thirteen more days ... wooooohooooooo!!) she ended up in my room through unusual circumstances (her other roommate kicked her out and im beginning to see why) even my sister told me there would be drama. but im patient when needs be, and when she brings kichwa i think that she has only x amount of days left and remind myself that someone somewhere owes me big and i wont forget it. she is nice at times though. she hands me tissue when im crying cos im home sick, listens when i need to bitch and can be really sweet. that kinda stuff.

but now i need to vent. just cos. so in true i hate my roomate blog style are some of the things that i hate about my current roomate:

1. the inability to whisper. i swear she vybes like a mama mboga in ngara market ALL THE TIME. i have to restrain myself from gagging her sometimes. (but i have a pair of chafu socks that have been kept for that purpose)

2. she is such a drama queen!! evrything is a big deal and it always has to be about her. one time she cried over a lost calender ati cos it was so nice and i was like NKTNK!! (nktnk!! by the way is how a click is spelt, or so my sister claims)

3. her disregard for other peoples values and ways of life pisses me off. at the age of 21 you should have already learnt that you should live and let live right? as far as she is concerned its the world according to freda and she tendso to trample on some nice people on the way. i mean she is downright MEAN. and vindictive. and .... sigh. si you get my drift?

4.the way she ties up my phone and then forgets to tell me who called, even when there is call waitng or whatever. mannerless as hell when it comes to such things and then she pouts when i tell her that i need to use MY phone ... ngai! enyewe it takes patience

5. leaving my room in a mess. im not the tidiest person in the world but it wouldnt hurt to make the bed, pick up your clothes and do dtuff in the house like clean up. its like shes living in a hotel or something. and what happens when i tell her to style up? you guessed it-furas like a ndao mpaka she cant even toshea in the apartment.

so. thats my beef for today. i can only feel better by reading your bad roomate experiences so hola at a chile. and do the count down with me!!

p.s
i know, i know, i have a list to finish but im the classic procrastinator. ill do it later, i promise!!
