had g over for dinner last night. made a YUMMY chick pea curry (well, with pork too - i know you're not suppose to put pork in it but the meat was defrosting and i wanted to eat it so anyhoo, the curry wasn't completely "kosher") if i do say so myself! we looked at pictures, gossiped and gossiped, and finished a whole bottle of wine. it was such a lovely evening in.
flatmate j came home expecting the flat to be empty (as i made last minute changes to my plans with g by inviting her over instead of going out). flatmate s was out until late, and he thought he had the whole flat to himself. anyhoo, he goes out again for an hour to the internet cafe, then comes home to make dinner for himself. he goes off on some weird-ass tangent about the tea towels being "soaking wet" whenever i use them - i mean excuse me? what the hell are tea towels used for if you don't dry your hands/dishes on them, thereby getting them wet? - i'm thinking "what the fuck has he been smoking to make him so paranoid over fucking tea towels?"
when g leaves i confront him and ask if something is wrong. basically he tells me that he was a bit "thrown" when he came home and found me there, as he was looking forward to some "me time" with himself. then he says he's the type of person that needs to be forwarned about people coming so that he can "prepare" himself. i'm like "prepare for what?" and he says it's his tendency to play the jester whenever he meets people. so i say "well then why can't you just be yourself?" as i secretly think to myself that his jester role is far more annoying than his normal self, and basically he just can't.
conclusion: i live with weirdos.

Can anyone be in theatre and NOT be eccentric? I don't think so! He obviously has issues; I mean, being forwarned about company so that he can "prepare himself"? Someone is lacking social skills. And the tea towel thing was obviously just a way for him to vent his anger. What did he say when you asked him why he can't be himself?
Honey - thats freakin INSANE. Actually worse than INSANE. Tell him to GET A LIFE. HA!
Been hugging your twin lots.
xxx from NYC :)
ladies!
pindoo: yeah, he moaned about the tea towels right in front of g. talk about poor breeding! as for living in f'boro, you and your hubby should be moving here to london instead!!!
canuckian: when i asked why he can't be himself he said he just can't, he's always been like this. and yes, actors are a breed unto themselves. their work is all about drama, which leads them to find it/create it in their personal lives.
j-mo: oh i'm so sorry you got laid off! JW ARE f-ers! i'm glad you found solace in getting piss drunk with ferris, always a good time...hang in their girlfriend, let me know your whereabouts by the time i get home!
kiwigirl: miss you babe, can't wait til you're back!
