Subject A ruins things

Okay. So, I was going to go to the FASS show. I made that post and fell asleep for two hours (half of my total sleep over the past two days). Anyway, I woke up and made some dinner. I washed my dishes, and some dishes that belong to me that I did not dirty, but they were not cleaned properly.

Sidenote: The constant disrespect visited upon my possessions in this household has forced my hand. During reading week, I will be removing all of the pots that I do not use (all of the ones that Subjects A-C use frequently) from this household. I see no reason why I should let them use my new pots if they are going to treat them with so little care. And since I don’t need them, there is no point in them being here. Tell me in the comments if you think this is too extreme, but I have discussed matters of cleanliness with my household many times, but it doesn’t sink in.

Anyway, after I finished cleaning the dishes, Subject B persuaded me to play DnD that evening instead of going to the play. I was feeling kind of sleepy and rather sluggish. Memories of Andrew and I seeing The Importance of Being Earnest while I dosed lazily drifted through my head. Seeing the FASS performance, a 3 hour show, at 10:00 pm with only 4 hours of sleep was a recipe for an unenjoyable experience. So, I relented and decided to play DnD.

I waited until 10, when the game was to commence. Unfortunately, Subject A had just returned from the grocery store. One thing you will shortly discover about Subject A is that he is psychotic. He burst into the door with groceries (despite the fact that he still had weeks and weeks worth of food) and insisted that we must make pancakes. It is currently 11:15. They are making pancakes downstairs. I am sitting here not watching a play because I was under the impression that we would be playing DnD. As much as I like pancakes, I am trying to eat healthier this term. I’ve removed milk from my diet (those of you who know me will realize how difficult that would be), and I have been eating mostly fresh fruit, vegetables, and the occasional deli sandwich. Anyway, I found it ironic to hear Subject A talking about how he too intends to eat healthy as he greases up a pan to make pancakes.

Oh, and for the record, I will clarify something to those who are wondering why I am not participating in this unscheduled group activity. The reason for this is because I spend enough time in the kitchen cleaning up after the three people I live with (they are slobs). If I were down there, I am quite sure I would have to kill them. I would rather see the mess in one shot and have to clean it up then, rather than have to watch as the kitchen is slowly turned from the pristine cooking environment that I try to preserve to a graveyard of wasted food and uncleaned spills.

NOTE: Oh, and Binks, I got your ‘yo’ on MSN, but that was only about 20 minutes ago. By now, you’re an hour and twenty minutes into the show. Sorry I wasn’t there. I hope you enjoyed it anyway though.

I’ve decided to start a new feature: CLV Confidential. These posts will be passworded. The password will be the name of this creature from Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass. GoAskAlice

If you can’t research it (it takes a few seconds), just ask me for the password on MSN or in Facebook.
