I've become really good at miming the 'toilet seat is up' thingie.

Occasionally have flashbacks to the opening of Mad About You where Jamie shows Paul how toilet paper goes onto the roller.

See! Roll the suit in a towel for the walk home and voila - it's not dripping and he can hang it on the back of his doorknob (where I hang my own damp bras after washing).

Gaaaaaah! AND AND AND...... when he got his stuff and took the old bed out, he swept his room (early last weekend) and the broom is still in there. Dag and I have swept the floors with a hnad-brush and pan. He is never around to ask and I will not go into other people's bedrooms. Well, I would like not to have to. I may have to.

The reason I took out the trash after he said he'd do it was so that he'd have some time freed up to deal with the mess.

I do have matches. And a trash can.

He said he'd take out the trash tonight. I took it all out and told him, when he returned and asked about it, that he could clean up his crap (he has unpacked 2 out of 20 boxes). It's all over, I had to move **** so I could water my plants. I told him so and asked if he could just do something with the stuff he'd already unpacked (cardboard, paper, bins, etc). He said he was too busy. The reason I took out the trash after he said he'd do it was so that he'd have some time freed up to deal with the mess. He just doesn't get ****.



NO, sure as hell he did not. I understand that it takes time to unpack, but get the f*cking empty boxes and newspaper out of the way. It's 2 am, I twisted my wrist AGAIN at the rehearsal - it's swollen and painful all over again, just got home, it's raining cats and dogs, i broke a spoke on the back wheel of my bike- which means i pushed my bike in the pouring rain for half hour, stepped into an above ankles puddle with both feet, actually at that point i kept on walking through it, who cares really. So when I got home, opened the door as quietly as I could, in the darkness, and nearly killed myself on those boxes there, that was the last drop. Ouch, my wrist is killing me, but I will kill him first. Somebody has to take the blame, and the little pimpled crosseyed shrimp is just perfect for my rage right now. i don't care how unreasonable that is. Empty boxes have been there for days now.

It's a bad match. Tell him to start looking for a new place. It'll be better for all three of you.

Yeah, that's something I haven't been clear about -- are there any legalities keeping you from just kicking him the hell out?

Yeah. Have a heart. Send him and his boxes to London. He can be Gautam's roommate. Laughing

Nah, I am probably more anal (no no, I dont mean *that* way) when it comes to order in my house - everything has to be just so. I am a libran you see.

Plus the fact that he doesn't have a cute butt.

It doesn't have to come to that. It can be (relatively) amicable. "Look, this is a bad fit. We think it's best that you start looking for somewhere else to stay. We're not setting a time limit or kicking you out, but sooner would be better than later. Maybe one of your didge buddies knows about a place."



He sounds like he belongs in a household of uptight-but-pretending-to-let-it-all-hang-out young trust-fund pseudohippies, anyway. I'm sure he'd have a better time in such an environment, too.

I am a Libran, too, G. My birthday is the day before yours. (That's how I always remember.)

Everything is orderly in my house, too. Even though it means arguing with Mr. Eva about his neverending fix-'em-up projects. (If they're out more than a day or two, they get boxed up and put on his workbench.) Visual clutter is very distracting to me. I work from a home office, and I can't concentrate if junk is all over the place. My housekeeper loves me for it, though. Cool

Right, hopefully that would work, but from what they've said so far I can all too easily imagine that he'd say something like, "Nah, that's OK, you guys are annoying but I can live with it."

LK + Dag: "We want you OUT!"

Latinboy: <laughs> "So, check out my new speedo, it's red! You Americans are so unsanitary with your swimsuits that are shorts, did you know that? In Portugal..."

LK + Dag: <heads explode>

So I'm wondering whether they can back any diplomatic efforts up with some muscle -- or not.

If he's truly that hopeless, he may require some assistance. "Hey, look at the ad I found: 'three pretentious, self-absorbed transplants to the Boston area seek fourth to share Cambridge apartment. Interests in world music and European swimwear essential. Own flatware a plus.'"
