i'm not being a hypocrite about anything. i am compromising. i'm not coming home afterwork and turing all the lights on in the room and turning the tv on. i'm turning on a desk light and putting down a barrier to block the light and wearing headphones. maybe there was no discussion about it, but i'd call that compromising. at least being considerate. i talked with the housemate that stopped in during our argument, and she started laughing when we talked about the amount of light leaking out from under my bed. there's more light coming from an unblocked computer monitor than was leaking out. if you don't think that's compromising, i'd say you and i have different definitions for it. oh, and he wrote me another letter yesterday while i was gone, telling me he didn't realize that having the tv on while i slept woke me up. it seems taht his point of view is that it's okay to make noise as long as i don't say anything, might as well disturb me until i say something, rather than just attempt not to. that's being a hypocrite.
and suprisingly, there's been no problems with 9 people in one hosue. it's eight bedrooms. 2 in the basement, 1 on the first floor, 3 on the second (with my double) and 2 upstairs. surprisingly, it's not chaotic, everyone pretty much gets along and has no problem.
i found out last night, and this is kinda funny, that no one's really sure if my roommate has even paid rent since moving in in augusut. appearantly it's a kinda screwed up situtation, where the rental company only allows 6 people on the main lease, the others are subletting. he was given the sublet sign, and as of when i moved in in the middle of january, he still hadn't signed and turned his in or paid any rent. but since i like the other people i live with, i dont' want to go to the rental company and get him kicked out, because then the main leasers will be responsible for his backowed rent.
i think i'm gonna be out as soon as summer starts, gonna find me a subletter.
thanks for the resposnes everyone!
