He's not really my "ex," but we dated sort of seriously in college - four years ago, when I was a sophomore.

After it ended, I ran off to London, and when I returned he was living in my old house, in MY OLD ROOM. I was ticked because housing in Santa Cruz is hard to come by so I ended up moving back into that house, right next door to him. It's a big house, with 13 tenants, so it wasn't a big deal, and we ended up being good friends. Then I moved out because the housemates were all dicks and blah blah blah and now they hate me.

So, needless to say, we have a tangled past and we're not exactly talking anymore!

ok, so there I was, eating sushi with the boyfriend in Oakland last night. We were drinking miso soup and sharing a beer and waiting for our food to arrive. I was already half-buzzed by that point but all of a sudden I hear a very... distinct accent and intonation. I start to turn around and look who was speaking because it sounded so familiar and then I realize OMG IT'S MY EX!

He was sitting right behind me, facing my back. My boyfriend scoped the shit out and said he didn't recognize me (I look different now than I did in college) but it scared the poo out of me and my gut literally dropped through the fucking floor. We eavesdropped and listened to him monopolize all of the conversations and spout bullshit about some chick he's currently banging and how much he drinks. Pretty pathetic.

After dinner was over we managed to get out of the restaurant without him seeing me. I didn't even want to START with that shit. But he was seriously like 7 feet away from me.

Hella gross.

Ugh I'm dreading the day I run into mine. Dreading it.

Hi fucktard.

Natsume said:

Want me to kick his ass?

I can't quite say I've NEVER run into an ex of mine, but it's pretty much like that for me and I consider myself EXTREMELY BLESSED!!

I feel for you! Sounds like it was a real drag.

I'd be satisfied if you shoved a sock in his mouth! that guy would NOT shut up!

Nothinbutjoy said:

I'm usually pretty friendly with my exes - one of my best friends is an ex - so it's usually not a problem. But that relationship went south because of the living situation, not because we dated.

Natsume said:

WTF happened in the living situation with those assholes? I am so nosy!

The best is when you see your ex and he sees you but you pretend that you don't know each other.

That shit is weird, funny, but weird.

Oh, and

I want to cut his peepee off for you!

I could see why you got douche chills from him last night, there's always an "I want to look so damn good so they'll be sick with remorse when they see me" element into seeing an ex...but it also sounds like there was some unfinished business, otherwise why care about him and whether or not he saw you?

PurpleRein said:

I looked hella good last night, just ask sosgemini.

The unfinished business isn't romantic, at all. It was just a bad housing situation. I used to be friends with all of these people and they turned on me and betrayed my ass. So I don't talk to them anymore. I just didn't want to see him ever again. If we hadn't had lived in the same house, we would still be friends! And I would have no problem saying hi.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

please do, miguel! but be warned, it's tiny. and he couldn't get it up when we tried to have sex.

Natsume said:

if they don't like you...like we love you...it's their loss, fer sher.
and you're adorable looking btw

Natsume said:

Where's my share?

INSATIABLE said:

the org ate my response!

to make a long story short, I moved back into this enormous house with 11 bedrooms and three floors when I returned from London. All of my friends lived in the house so we thought it would be awesome. WRONG! Out of 11 tenants, only four were girls, and two lived in the basement, which was a separate apartment. So there were only two girls in the real house, and the rest were guys. And not to say that all guys are disgusting, misogynistic pigs, but these guys were. They were fucking filthy ass, disrespectful, selfish little bastards.

And they expected ME to clean up after them.

They would have house parties and not inform the people who lived in the house. They just drank and did drugs and hung out all day long. They barely went to class, so they partied all the time, and it made the studious ones really suffer. They were loud and obnoxious and just disgusting. I won't even go into it. But it was so bad that I had to move, so I talked to my landlady and she let me out of the lease and I found another place to live. I didn't squeal on them but she already knew what the house was like - we had cleaners and a handyman and neighbors - who informed her of the activities. My housemates found out I was leaving, assumed I had ratted them out, and told her that my boyfriend at the time was living in my room (which he did). She withheld my last month's rent ($715, which I still owe my parents) and hates my guts now.

So you can see why it's so ugly now. I was friends with all those dicks before but they fucked me over so I don't talk to any of them now!

oh and JANA!

PurpleRein said:

haha thanks!

You're SO much cooler than your ex, Pam.

Cloudbuster said:

I packaged it up and put the leftovers in the post, I hope they're still fresh when you get it cloudy!

Natsume said:

CarrieMpls said:

CARRIE!

I still need to respond to your orgnote. I should be working right now, we have a deadline, but the org is way more fun!

Cloudbuster said:

Cloudy, just add water or milk and microwave for five seconds if it's not fresh.

And Pam, it's thumbsdown in those situations! You really have no idea about some people until you live together. It's too bad they pulled that disrespectful shit. It was completely their choice to treat everyone else like that. I've got a much less extreme situation going on right now with one of my best friends. We both whoop it up at night just fine, but when she pays her share of the bills late, it chaps my ass. I'm on a tight budget and blahblahblah.

Ta, duck.

Whenevs, lady.


Now get back to work!
