karriezaiI unloaded the back of my van today. There was a bunch of crap back there. I organized and found places for most of it, even better organized parts of our rooms in the process. The desk in the game room, for instance, still had all these magazines and crap in it from Dennis' brother, so I threw them all in a box to go in the attic and put stuff away nicely in the desk. I fit all of my books on the little white shelf-type thing I brought from my dorm... it's like four white milk crates stacked on top of each other, kind of. It also gave me space for all my Starbucks crap... the work pants and aprons at least.
I unpacked the suitcase of clothes my mom gave me when she left and threw a ton of the stuff in it away. I put most of my wintry weather clothes in it along with my bed stuff from the dorm and then put it back in the attic. Then I put a bunch of extra bags, our Halloween stuff, and my DDR pad (it'll be useless here, it sucks on carpet) in this purple tupperware-type container I brought from my dorm and shoved that in the attic, too.
I still need to find a place for my TV, stereo, desk lamp, fan, Xbox, another tupperware-type container, the skiing clothes that were in the back of my van from February, and the multistrips from my dorm.
I also folded all my clothes and laid out all of Danny's hanging clothes from the two clean loads of laundry that have been sitting and the one load I did today while I was working on other crap.
I've been cleaning all the dishes I dirty as I use them, too, so I know none of the dishes piling in the sink are mine, and I don't plan on cleaning them.
Justin also told me today that apparently Dennis was talking a couple weeks ago about making me pay rent. I already split the cable with them, and usually rent is by the room. If there are two people sharing one room, they split the rent for that room, rent isn't suddenly split four ways. Granted, Danny has two rooms, but that's because Dennis and Justin's rooms are much bigger than either of his and he'd never be able to fit all his shit in one room. Originally he wanted to put his TV in the living room but Dennis wouldn't let him, so this was the compromise, and they each had to pay $300 rent regardless of the fact that Danny has two rooms. It shouldn't change because of me. How we split up the $300 that's our share is our business, and yes, we are planning to split it $150/$150.
Dennis can be really great but he also really bugs me sometimes with stuff like this. He won't let his girl Heather live here or even stay over many nights without paying money. His family is also weirdly paranoid about stuff, which is why we have a giant dog guarding our property and security cameras everywhere.
But apparently Dennis told Justin that he isn't kidding and if we don't want to split rent four ways he'll kick us both out and charge $300 for each room. Which is freaking retarded. I mean, they already have it made -- $300 a month for rent including utilities is amazing. And it's not his house, either, it's his mom's. So if he kicked us out and brought on people for $300 for each of Danny's rooms, where's the extra $300 gonna go, his own pocket? I guess he'd have them and Justin pay the $900 his mom gets a month so he himself wouldn't pay rent. Christ.
I guess if it comes down to it, it would be doable. It'd be $225 a person per month. But I wouldn't be able to help Danny as much because I'd probably have enough trouble with my share. It's not really fair. We don't have that much say, though, because it's Dennis' mom's house and whose side is she going to be on? His. I guess all we could do is point out that if we're doing it this way, Dennis should get the biggest share of the rent since he has the master bedroom and his own bathroom, then Justin because his room is bigger than either one of mine and Danny's (though not put together), and then me and Danny would have an even share that's smaller than theirs because it would be me paying for one of our small rooms and him paying for the other. I mean, if he wants to be "fair."
I wish Danny would freaking call me back, I want to talk to him about all this.
