La la la roommates

I copied this over from the email I sent my mom!


So I haven't written to anyone in a while, cause I was frustrated and a bit bitter. See... I've been noticing missing things lately..... and when half my loaf of bread was gone and I hadn't touched it, I figured I had firm proof that someone had been stealing from me. I knew all along that it was Melissa, but to double check myself I asked Amber and Megan if they'd used any of my bread. Even asked Kody. They all said no, which I already knew, and told them that I knew they hadn't.
And so... on umm....... I think Wednesday last week, I asked Melissa calmly if she'd been using my bread. She said no, and that maybe I should HIDE IT. That pissed me off. So I went to my room with the half a loaf and slammed the door hard enough that the frame shook and Megan jumped. I talked to Megan for like five minutes while I calmed down and gained courage. Then I went back out, sat down, and calmly explained that Amber and Megan said they hadn't taken it. I explained that when people lie to me, it's like a slap in the face saying that they think I'm stupid enough to believe it. She still didn't confess, and even said that she thought Amber took it.
So I went to my room and was angry and Brittany came over and made me happy and I made several gripings with the door open about someone lying about stealing my bread and about how they suck and then I was happy again.
The next day, I found a note on my food cabinet door.
It read, exactly.....

"Shelly

Sometime on Friday - Sunday we need talk about some things. I appreciate your friendship + I am not doubting that I'm suppose to be in this Apartment.
Leave a note under my door when we can talk.

Melissa Plumb

I'm sorry I've ben a Lier/Jurk, and A bad freind.
please forgive me.

no one must read it."

And so after Megan, Kody, and Amber left for the weekend I hid in my room the whole time. I didn't actually talk to her until Sunday night at 11. I asked what she wanted to talk about.

She asked me if I honestly wanted her to stay or leave next semester.

Ya know..... I honestly feel bad for her. Cause like, she alienates all the friends she has, no one can stand being around her. Megan, one of the most compassionate people I've met.... wants to kill her.... Amber hates her. The friends she had are pissed off at her cause of a bunch of crap she pulls. She acts like a five year old in a twenty two year old body. So I've been patient with her. I've been kind. I'm not even pissed off at her anymore.

She's never formally apologized or even admitted to stealing from me. I needed that. So for like half an hour I sat in there occasionally making comments about how I feel about being lied to.... and how it made me feel..... and even went so far as to say that it made me wonder what else she had lied about.... what else she had stolen...... to all of this, her only response was "yeah" "mm hmm" as she put away her laundry. That pissed me off. So I asked a couple direct questions like "Why did you lie about stealing it" which she really just muttered nonsensical sentences to about how a friend had been in a situation similar but different and she was worried and something clicked in her mind. Basically, I got the impression that something clicked in her mind that told her to lie to save our relationship.... and something about this happening with another person, I think it was her stealing from someone else as well...... but I honestly don't know cause she was being secretive about it.

So anywho...... after trying for like a half hour to get her to just like.... formally apologize..... or at least try to justify herself..... and her avoiding any real discussion.... I gave up, made it a lost case, and said no.

Honestly..... I've forgiven her. However, she's driving Amber and Megan insane. Amber already snubs her and refuses to acknowledge her existence. Megan avoids her so far as to spend the entire day at the library to avoid the chance of running into her. I'm doing it more for their sake than for mine. Plus, she'd have an awful time if she stayed.

And then she was like "I never should have moved in. Amber was right, I've already jeopordized our friendship and with Amber. The only relationship I haven't jeopordized is Megan's."

I had to stifle a laugh cause Megan hates her now and is actually kinda mega weirded out by her cause like, Melissa took the whole..... gay joke (me and Megan like to joke about us being girlfriends cause it's hilarious) way too far by kissing her on the cheek a couple times. And the whole, Megan felt bad for Melissa since she hasn't been home all semester so she let her come home with her even though she really didn't want to. She was embarrassed of Melissa the entire weekend and like.... didn't hang out with most of her friends because of it. And like, Melissa put Megan in a bad mood for the entire week.

So anyways, that's taken care of now. Now Megan and Amber can stop considering moving off campus to get away from her.



Whew..... in other news, I have a date for the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I'm way excited. Also, you get to pick me up on Tuesday! Sweetness. I'm so excited to come home. Since the Kody break up (did I tell you he said "I see you as more of a sister"?) and roommate issues, I've been a bit homesick. Plus I miss Kirsten way bad cause we haven't seen each other since John's farewell. And someone on campus has her car and every time I see it I think of Kirsten!

Anywho, gotta run to class now.
