I just moved in with my boyfriend, and his roommate. His roommate I have only ever known to be responsible and respectful. I have apparently been lied to.

Well then.
Shitty Roommate or Moron Girlfriend broke Boyfriend's new 360 today. Awesome. Tomorrow will be interesting. We're having a house meeting and are giving them the roommate agreement first thing in the morning.

Nothing like waking up to vomit in the toilet.
I swear I couldn’t make this up if I tried. I had the house to myself most of yesterday. From about 2pm on. It was fantastic. When Boyfriend got home from work we decided to finish putting the rest of the stuff in the basement for storage. It’s been relatively hot here the past few days, and while carrying boxes downstairs Boyfriend yells up at me asking if he should bring up the fan so it can cool down in here. We agree it’s a good idea and he looks around and tells me the fan must be in the living room because it’s not downstairs.
We finish bringing stuff down and go look in the living room. No fan. Boyfriend was very confused. So I think for a minute and remember that there was most definitely a fan running in Shitty Roommate and Moron Girlfriend’s room last night/earlier that morning. I bet Boyfriend 10 bucks it was his. So we open the door to their room, and sure enough, his fan. Boyfriend is pissed. We take it out along with another thing of his that they deemed necessary to take ownership of and bring them in our room.
I don’t understand what makes someone think they have a right to just use someone else’s stuff in any way they see fit without even asking first. And he does it with my things too. There’s the rat in the couch deal, he has decided my nice wooden bowls are his personal fruit bowls [They’re now in storage], when I took out my spice rack, he told me which ones I should throw away because he never cooks with them…
I’m sorry, but if I pay for all the food, why do I care in the slightest bit what you cook with? I should probably pack that back up today for the time being now that I think about it.
And when I woke up and used the bathroom this morning there was vomit in the toilet. Living with a bulimic rules!!!!
I suppose now I will just wait for the inevitable bitch fest of “WHY WERE YOU GUYS IN MY ROOM TAKING YOUR THINGS BACK WHEN YOU WANTED TO USE THEM??? WAHHHHHHH” when Shitty Roommate gets up.

ZOMG ANOTHER ENTRY SO SOON?????
Shitty Roommate just informed Boyfriend he can not pay the cable/electric/phone bill on time. And being that it’s a small $50 payment, my money is not on him being able to pay rent. I love my life.
Oh man, Shitty Roommate may be as stupid as Moron Girlfriend.
He just yells across the house "HOLY SHIT YOU GOT LETTERS FROM ALL OF [messageboard we frequent]!!!!!!!!"
Earlier today, I put stamps on Giftmas cards from this year that never got sent out and put them in the mailbox for our mailman.
I yell back "Did you never learn how to read an envelope? Those are letters I am mailing."

A look in the the hollow space between Moron Girlfriend's ears
Now, I do not have a lot of money. I get foodstamps. That’s how little money I have. So being that it’s the end of the month, I have very little foodstamps as well. Tuesday I went shopping for the week. Boyfriend gave me cash, and I asked Shitty Roommate and Moron Girlfriend if they needed/wanted anything. Of course they did and so I asked if they had money to throw in. They said no, they just paid student loans. And I quickly explain I had $40 left for food for the rest of the month and if I could afford these things I would get them.
I leave, get in the car, and before I pull out of the driveway, I call to check my balance so I know exactly how much I have and can spend. I had $24 left. But it was okay. I had some frozen chicken at home, enough for at least 2 meals, and some sauce so we could have at least one pasta meal. I will not bore your all with the details of my grocery spoils, but I got enough food for Boyfriend and I to eat a decent breakfast and lunch until the 2nd for only $23.50.
When I got home Moron Girlfriend was in the kitchen. And I explained how I in fact had half the money I thought I did, so at least until I get more foodstamps I was going to need her help rearranging the fridge. I was going to take one shelf, one door rack and one cabinet. So were her and her boyfriend. We have a third shelf and rack which is going to be designated “Communal” and split the freezer.
Now here is where it gets fun. The night before, Boyfriend and I had Salmon for dinner. She does not eat fish. Tuesday is Wing Night and we go out to eat. Last night I cooked four servings of chicken cutlets for sandwiches. And delicious fried oyster mushrooms. I did not offer any to Moron Girlfriend because I had exactly enough for Boyfriend and I to have it for dinner, and the leftovers for lunch today. During dinner, Boyfriend commented that I had gotten my nails done, which is true, and then asked me what I ordered on Amazon.com.
Now, before someone asks why I am not feeding this girl when I have money to shop on Amazon, and to get my nails done….. I work on a budget. The state gives me a set amount every month for food. I can feed myself on that. And feed Boyfriend. I do not spend loose change. I save it, take it to Coinstar, and cash it in for an Amazon gift certificate because I can get ANYTHING on Amazon and they don’t take a percentage of my money to do that. I also can afford $40 a month to pamper myself in the tiniest bit. I don’t feel that I need to give that up in order to feed my roommate.
So anyway, as Boyfriend and I are discussing things involving money I spent today, you can feel Moron Girlfriend getting annoyed. And after we ate, we retired to our room to hang out for a while. You could hear Moron Girlfriend slamming things around the house. Fairly certain she’s mad at me.
For funsies, here are some of her antics as of late:
1. I am entirely certain she is bulimic. Every morning, at about 10:30, she gets up, goes to the bathroom, turns on the faucet, and gags for 10-30 minutes. Up until last week she thought she was pregnant and so did I due to the puking. But she went to the OB, took a test there and is not. She’s also concerned about “all the weight she gained” when she thought she was pregnant. The girl wears a size 1.
2. She will rearrange things I put in the dishwasher so less stuff fits, but never runs it once she makes it full. I have to go through it every night and move everything back to where stuff fits so I can run the wash.
3. When she cooks, she leaves her mess out for 2+ hours after she eats before she will clean up her mess.
4. She often assumes that I will drive her across town for free when gas is $4 a gallon.
5. I am a smoker. But I smoke on the closed in porch or outside. Because I do not want my house to smell like stale smoke. I also open the windows on the porch and spray fabreeze in there when I am finished. There is a window in the wall between the porch and the living room. Often, when Shitty Roommate smokes on the porch he opens the window to the house. I always go and close it the next time I am in there, but it takes two people. The side where you can physically close the windowpane, and the lock to keep it up are on two different sides. So one person needs to hold it shut while the other locks it. Yesterday, I ask Moron Girlfriend to do me a favor and lock the window so I could go smoke and “I do not like my house to smell like smoke”. She replies “Oh no, Shitty Roommate opened it, it can stay open.” I had to repeat my sentence, overemphasizing and pantomiming the words “I” and “my”. She looked at me as if to say “why do you care what it smells like in here?”.
6. She always rearranges things I have put in the common area to suit her liking. I often will move shit for no reason while she is sleeping or not home just to watch her try to fix it when she gets home or wakes up.
This weekend Boyfriend and I are presenting them with a roommate agreement. Either they will agree, sign it and this blog will die (Unlikely.), or Shitty Roommate will throw a temper tantrum and Boyfriend and I will remove one item we own from common areas every day that passes. Which is a good 95% of the stuff in the house. We have yet to decide if it would be more amusing if we took the tv or couch away first.

This conversation just happened.
Shitty Roommate: You know you can eat the fruit I get right?
Me: I don’t eat any of it.
Shitty Roommate: Well it might help you afford food.
………..
Oh. Right. I see how that makes sense. o.0

It is probably a good idea to give you guys a little background.
The Characters:
Me: I am a mid-twenties “House-Girlfriend”. I am currently unemployed, recently relocated, and looking to go back to school. During the day I make sure dishes are cleaned, laundry is washed and dried, and dinner is cooked. I take care of he house in exchange for Boyfriend taking care of our bills.
Boyfriend: Boy friend and I have been dating a little over a year now. He is gainfully employed and makes enough to afford me to stay home and be the “house-girlfriend”. He and Shitty Roommate [formerly known as Awesome Roommate] having been living together for over a year now.
Shitty Roommate: I have known Shitty Roommate for over 2 years. He used to be Awesome Roommate until recently. He apparently works a good enough job to afford to let Moron Girlfriend sit on her lazy ass all day.
Moron Girlfriend: I’ve only known Moron Girlfriend for 3 weeks. I don’t ever see her do much that doesn’t include smoking pot, playing video games, StumbleUpon, or watching TV/Boyfriend’s Netflix.
