You're right! You are so right. I'm going right now and turning on my candle warmer. Fuck it. I pay good money to live here, I want to have my favorite scents filling my damn space.

If she complains, tell her that cupcake scented candles make you want to vomit. You'll stop burning yours as soon as she throws hers out.

It is not allergic. It just prefers candles that smell like a Big Mac. Burn the candle in your room. If it wants to squeal, let it. I'm sure you aren't breaking any rules by lighting a candle (unless it's a dorm) If there are rules against lighting candles, start collecting evidence that Ms. Piggy is doing that. Also, if it wants to talk about offensive smells, I'm sure its freshly wetnapped fupa folds probably smell pretty unpleasant.

nope, no dorm and even if it was I use a candle warmer. No lit candles it just melts the wax. I have a thing against open flames personally so I prefer the warmers.

Listen, BURN YOUR CANDLE. If that fat harpy complains, you tell her that she can't have hers because the smell makes you sick. It's too sweet. You've only been putting up with it because you were trying to be nice. But you know that she doesn't have an allergy and if she is going to treat you with such disrespect then there will be NO candles in the house.
PERIOD.
Fuck that bitch. If you really want some ideas on how to mess with her...I am the master of fucking with roommates.
[–] DammitMoonMoon [S] 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
It is on now. =) Thank you. I'm sure I'll be back with more. Like I said, I'm done being nice because I feel I've been a pushover too much now. Time to draw the line. And for as much as I spend to live here I should be able to have the freedom. I'm not having parties and people over all the time and shit like that. I just want to burn my damn candle.

Another thing I'm going to do is paint my damn bedroom the color that I fucking want. This is something we talked about before I moved in. I've had a color picked out for years and I described it to her. It's something I want so bad I can't even explain. This bitch, while I was away at Christmas, took it upon herself to paint the room a different shade to what I wanted. It's different. I wanted a color that is hard to describe but it's a greyish/greenish/blue. This one to be exact: Ben Moore Palladian. What she put on my damn walls is this: Schoolboy blue. Not even close.
I know it sounds stupid but I had this. This was what I wanted. I have a vision for my damn room and she did that. I will paint the damn room the color I want. Dammit. lol.

What? She painted your room?
You need to get this bitch outta there.

I have a whale roommate as well. Why did we do this? I've seen into the depths of laziness, a person who has ordered delivery 2x/day for 15 straight months (which I have graphed)! It is now like watching an accident and I can't look away. People are like this, this isn't that abnormal. I'm human...like them...but what are they?
[–] DammitMoonMoon [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Selfish. for the most part very selfish and delusional. But mostly selfish.
[–] FreedomToast 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I think I have sheltered myself from the common world. I see fats all of the time and the whales are notable. It is crazy to see the perception distortion between me and "them". I thought I couldn't judge personality characteristics, but they prove every facet. It is still a psychological distortion.

Why can't you just move out?

So, in 2011 I nearly died from a brain aneurysm which resulted in some brain damage to both sides of the frontal lobes of my brain. These are the areas that involved things like executive actions, decision making, planning, processing, etc. These things are a real problem for me now. I tried to go back to work, I did it for a year. But I was a manager and the things that make one a manager are those things in control of the executive functions of your frontal lobe. In short, I could not manage my employees, I could not plan ahead for anything because my organizational skills are basically shit now. I also deal with fatigue to a great degree but that is slowly getting better. I cannot work an 8 hour day though. It's impossible. I suffer with severe bouts of insomnia that nothing has helped. Whatever the suggestions are for that, I've tried them all and nothing helps. If I don't get at least 9 hours of sleep my brain is mush. I will literally sound like a mentally retarded person because I say the wrong words, I make up words, I can be in the middle of a conversation and forget the rest of what I was going to say. I went from being a manager with a workforce to somebody that needed to be managed.
Because my work experience is very niche there was nowhere else for my company to put me. I ended up going back out of work a year after trying to work post the ruptured aneurysm. My long term disability insurance company (that I paid for, mind you) refused to pay me long term disability because they are a corporation and they don't want to pay even though that's why they exist. I appealed their denial and my appeal was denied. A week after their denial I received my approval for disability (brain injury in my state is almost an automatic disability approval) from the Social Security Administration.
By that time I had been living a year with no income. I had sold every single thing I owned. All my furnishings, everything. I moved in with family. I bounced around and had to move 4 times in one year because of reasons having to do with people not understanding your disability is real. My car, which was almost paid for, was repossessed.
I landed in what I can only describe as a dump. Because that's all I could afford. It was awful. It was crushing me mentally. That's when hammate came into the picture. She has a beautiful home in a beautiful town and it's a 1000X improvement from where I was living.
I'm finally in a place where I can settle, regroup, get the help I need, focus on moving forward and rebuilding my life. I'm not financially at a place that I can afford to move out yet. But I will be. I'm working towards that. It's coming.

Well damn son, that's as good of a reason as I'd possibly expect. Get well shitfriend.

i didn't realize that candles was something that people gave a shit about.
[–] DammitMoonMoon [S] ago (edited ago)
I do. I like scented candles. They help relax me. I spend a good chunk of money to live here. I would like to be able to light my scented candle. I probably wouldn't care as much if not for the fact that she will light hers, no problem. Basically, what it boils down to is this is not my home. And I'm reminded of that fact in subtle ways like not being able to burn the scented candle I like or paint my room the color I wanted.
It's the principle more than the candle. If I was living here for free or for some really discounted rate then sure, I would just suck it up. But I'm paying more than half the rent for this place. I think I can burn the scented candle I want.
[–] PM_ME_UR_NOODZ 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago (edited ago)
I meant her as much as I meant you. Candles gonna cand and I am totally indifferent to it when they do.
Unless they're coconut scented. Fuck coconuts

So you can't have a dog because of where you live? or because of the Obeast? I'd be too worried about it getting hungry and eating my pet anyway.
[–] DammitMoonMoon [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
We can have pets in our building. She just doesn't want any. I think it's because she is very OCD about everything being in place and the house has to be like a frikken museum. Pets have a way of you know, inhibiting that. Which doesn't bother me.
Honestly, the fact that I want a dog is one of the bigger reasons why I'm seriously getting out of here as soon as I can. It's really important to me.
[–] l23r ago
Does she actually have an obsessive compulsive condition or is it some self-diagnosed thing like "teehee, I took a shower two times today. so0oo0o000 ohceedee"
