I am sick to death of being screwed over.

During the Christmas Party, anterus, tigerofthewind, and I decided that we would move off-campus together, preferably in vond's old townhouse. This struck us all as a very good idea, given its niceness, the fact that we knew the previous occupiers to not have done terrible things to it, and its optimal location. We agreed to start looking into this possibility after winter break. Some days after classes had started again, I asked anterus when we would start working on getting this together. He said not to worry, as it was being taken care of. I asked if I was still in as their roommates. He said yes, unless I wanted out, which I didn't. I accepted this for the immediate future, since I felt paranoid after asking this question.

Fast-forward to yesterday. I asked anterus what was happening with off-campus housing. He said to talk to tigerofthewind, which I did tonight. They got a 3 BR apartment -- with the occupants being themselves and another person who was not me. Their rationale for this was that 1) they couldn't get the townhouse, and 2) they had to make a quick decision, and a 4 BR apartment cost $100 more/month to rent. So they instinctually fucked me over.

People sometimes wonder why I'm so untrustworthy of those around me, even those I consider my friends. Scenarios like the one above are why. Thanks to them and their machinations, I now have to find a place to live, with roommates not my friends, possibly for much more than what I would have paid had I gone in with them. This is because I can't go back to Charlottesville this year -- upon hearing that I might have off-campus housing this summer, my mother didn't rent a van to get my stuff back to C-Ville; this van is now unavailable. So unless I find a place to live this year, I'm screwed.

All thanks to anterus and tigerofthewind. Fuck you both very much.

No, I think cruel is exactly the right word.

How dare you accuse Andrew of not acting like an adult when, clearly, you are the one acting immature (you too, Crimson, I'm waiting for you to weigh in here but don't think I'm not disappointed in you, too).

Andrew didn't cause any drama. He did everything right. When told that it was being taken care of, he let the people responsible take care of it. Had you expected him to do more of the leg work you should've damn well told him ahead of time.

If you didn't want to live with Andrew you should've just said so ahead of time. Waiting until the last minute is just pathetic. You couldn't get up the balls to tell him yourself so you just left him high and dry.

It's cruel to take someone's trust and just throw it away. Even if you don't like them at least have the guts to tell it to their face. And even if Andrew annoys you there is no reason to be so mean-spirited as to completely deny him housing.

You acted like a moron and you were cruel. Maybe that's all right with you but don't act so shocked when "drama" arises because of it. If you're going to treat people like dirt, they're going to object. And if you treat people like dirt, their actual friends will get pissed.

I have yet to weigh in on this because I prefer to discuss the situation in a more personal setting where I can properly take the time to explain my part in these events.

If you would like, IM or phone are options.
