At this point I'm just sharing the most ridiculous situations incurred when living in a home shared by an obeast. This is the latest thing but has been bugging me since I moved in.
I love scented candles. I don't do the really sweet cinnamon bun or cupcake scented candles I prefer things like eucalyptus, patchouli, linen, anything kinda earthy or fresh and clean scented. I have a candle warmer light thing and usually have one of those scents on it all the time.
All that being said, I'm not a total inconsiderate bitch and don't mind not using scented candles or whatever with people that have allergies or are especially sensitive to them. Guess who can't deal with my candle? If you guessed hammate, ding, ding, you win! So, being considerate I never have it on unless she's gone for the weekend or whatever.
Last week I discovered a new candle store in an adjacent city that sells soy candles which I love even more. Wide variety of fragrances. I got one for my mom who is sensitive to overpowering smells and she loves it.
Just now I had received a catalog from Yankee Candle company and mumbled something about I may as well throw it away since I can't burn any of the scents I like. Hammie is all "yeah, I know it sucks but it is what it is."
Here's the thing. She has her own candle she burns whenever she feels like it. Take a guess at the scent. If you guessed Cupcake Frosting you totally have the obeast figured out! I mentioned that I was going to try the soy candles and see how that goes and she said "oh, no, I can't do anything soy." Me "I bet if i get a cupcake scented one you can." Her response "yeah, probably so."
I just keep telling myself I will be moving out in a year. I will be moving out in a year. I want to be able to burn my candles. I want a dog. I want to use my beautiful dishes in the kitchen. I don't want to freaking constantly wash used solo cups and try to squeeze them into an already overflowing cabinet full of glasses. WTF!
*I will probably have a story a day for a while now that I've hit my breaking point.

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.

I'd lie and tell her it's... I dunno... Soy cake? See if hammy falls for it. I bet it will.

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.
