speaking of getting burned and fekked over...
my flatmate has for the past 6 months been scrounging off me in one of the worst possable ways. total lack of respect and total abuse of trust (and my kind nature) and has cost me all my savings (what little there are), cost me OVER HALF of my total income (and thats not much when on the dole, a mere 40 squid a week), cost me another 50 squid in bank charges for letters telling me i have less than no money so they're taking more away, cost me this flat (he got us kicked out for non-payment of rent) and so in total, when you include the fact that i've been buying nearly all the food and other household expenses, it all comes to over 600 pound once i get kicked out (and i probably won't get my deposit back either because he's messed the place up so much - so another 200) i worked out that over the same period i've only recieved about a grand. so try to imagine living on less than half of what the government tells you is the basic amount needed to survive on. i look quite skinny now again after months, no, YEARS of trying to get/keep my weight above 10 stone, and even aiming for 11 to be on the money for my ideal weight/height ratio... i now weigh about 9. not once has he paid any bills we agreed to share equally.
now the money thing doesnt bother me, i'm not a big fan of it (thus probably why the situation got this bad), the setbacks in my health arent even that annoying (i've experienced much worse), what really gets me is the absolute lack of concern and the attempts to play me, to placate me,
i wonder... is he really that stupid? or is he more calculating, manipulative, selfish, greedy, etc than i can comprehend? either way, it's not nice to be fucked over by people you thought were friends. i only hope that the rest of my friends start to see his errors.
heh, i just needed to get that off my chest.
speaking of neds...
ya ever think that surrounding them in a world of hate and violence is what makes them the way they are? and that by going out to beat them you only further convince them that this is how to conduct yerself in life, and how everyone does? and maybe, just maybe, there might be a better way to deal with this problem? a middle ground between "find him and beat him" and the UK's Gov's "anti-social behaviour" programs & new laws maybe?
nah, lets just stick with our impulses, not think things through properly and go beat them up.
