with bombs whistling

[ekaterinn]

Well, that's it. My roommate and I are done. I don't appreciate being screamed at and she doesn't appreciate anyone who can't follow her rules slavishly. I'm thinking of trying to move my move-out date from June to spring break (there's no way that I can both teach and move, not with my sixty-hour weeks). Right now, I'm too mad, but later I'll be sad, because I can't think of her as a friend now, and I don't think I will able to do so again.

*sighs* Bad fucking timing for this, though it's been a long time coming. Why life so hard, people?

*hugs* I know all about roommate troubles, and it's still difficult to think of my ex-roommate as a 'friend' at this point and I'm sure she feels the same about me ... I sympathize. Some people just can't live together, that's all. It'll get better Suze.

*hugs back* We did fine living together when we never saw each other. *g* But, yeah, at this point I think we're both better off living alone, though I could probably live with someone a bit more laidback if I had to.

Thanks for the sympathy. *smiles*

Anyway, how goes the whole "grad school or not' thing?

[lolamatopeoia.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I'm 'working' on the application as we speak. I was about to just forget about it, but then one of my referees emailed with a friendly 'Hey, I just got your ref. letter in, good luck' and so I kind of have to do it. I'm putting in the application, for tomorrow evening (online), whether it's done well. I'm more doing this for peace of mind - I know I'd like to do a phd eventually, it's just whether its now or after I'm teaching for a while - but at this point I just want the stupid thing done and be finished with the era of applications!

Living alone, in my experience, is awesome. I'm living with the boyfriend right now, but I still look back on those blissful few months a few years ago when I lived alone. Ah, memories.

Finding the right roommate is a toughie, I'd say live alone for a while and see how it goes. Either way, you're going to have a lot less stress.

Bleh. I know that frame of mind - I dithered for a long time before giving up on academia - and applications are always evil! *hugs* Good luck!

I'm either going to live alone (*bliss*) or possibly with a friend of my sister's who I know is pretty laidback. But I really really want to live alone. I've only done it for a summer when I was housesitting Meredith's condo, and it's not like I could decorate it. *g*

Where are you now, if I can ask? I'm going to be up in NB for most of the summer - maybe I can swing a visit to you, if you're not in New Zealand by then.

[lolamatopeoia.livejournal.com]

hahha, I love the icon you used for this :).

Yeah, this application will be the last of my dithering with academia for a while. I'm doing this for that one last shot so that I can let go of it for a while and focus on teaching and travelling and creating art again for a while ...

Living alone is bliss. Do it!

I'm in Kitchener now. If I go to New Zealand I would be leaving mid-June so if you're back up in Canada by or before then we should definitely arrange a visit or more!

hey! I'm sorry about your roomate. I'm also sorry that I never called you when I got back in town. Its been busy.

Roomates can really suck, especially the ones who are controlling bitches. I'm sorry she yelled at you. You deserve a better roomate.

Love you! Call me if you ever want a drink, or some coffee. Maybe in irish coffee ;)
hehe

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* That's okay - could've called you myself, but got majorly busy. You feel like having that (maybe irish) coffee next weekend?

Thanks. I think I'm just tired of walking on eggshells. I don't care anymore. Though my sister is going to send a ninja from Japan to annoy my roommate. *g*

[fanelia-angel.livejournal.com]

next weekend sounds great. I'll call you or you call me and we'll hang out!!

I hear ya on the roommate issues, been dealing with a lot of pettiness and general tenseness from my own roommates for a while (I share a house with 3 other people). Made it my goal for the time being to try and get enough saved up to move out on my own or something.

BTW, thanks for the card! Bit late, I know, but I had to leave a week early for Christmas due to my grandmother going into the hospital, and have been busy since I got back (future mother-in-law is now in the hospital, coincidentally).

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Hey, no problem on the card - hope your relatives are doing better!

Roomie and I are now communicating better, but I'm still going to move out in the summer (assuming I still have a job. gah, stupid district breakdowns!)

[bejiin.livejournal.com]

eeps so sorry love... you could always give up on the world and come live with me. but i'd probably make a terrible roommate, just like i would have in college. hope you find a new place.

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I don't think we would do very well living together, but I'll love to visit you sometime soon!

[amai.livejournal.com]

Move to Japan! :D We'll get a puppy!

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

I'm just an excuse for you to get a puppy, AREN'T I.

*looks at you through narrowed eyes*

[dejla.livejournal.com]

Oh, that hurts when it happens. I'm so sorry. Been there and done that.

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Roomie and I are now communicating better, but I'm still going to move out in the summer (assuming I still have a job, stupid district breakdowns, grr.)

I haven't been on much lately - how are you doing?

[dejla.livejournal.com]

Oh, pretty well. Work's a little crazy and we have had some layoffs, but so far my department's not had any.

Struggling to finish writing things and push the plot bunnies away, too...

And aside from that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

*snuggles*
This is why I live alone...
You could live with *me* though!
I taught elementary today. And actually kind of understand why you like them. :)

[ekaterinn.livejournal.com]

*snuggles back* Sorry for the late reply, dear. And I would *love* to live with you! Now's probably not the best time though. (Roomie and I are now actually communicating better, but I'm still going to move out in the summer.)

And yay for liking elementary! ^_^
