Get It Over With

So...today my mom called me at work with a kind of urgent tone in her voice. I don't recall doing anything bad lately (nothing specific aside from sucking at life) so I was quite confused. Turns out this kid I used to go to church with for a couple years went into the store with his grandma today. He proceeds to ask if I still live in New York (umma confirms) and tells everyone that he stayed at my place before. AWESOME! Or not. Pieceoftrash! Why the eff on mothereffing earth would he do that? And apparently his mom is a big gossip. COME ON! How the hell am I supposed to monitor my old roommate's guests? Living with that douche has become a huge thorn in my side. Also, I can't have a rational converstation with my parents because none of us speak enough of the same language. Piss on me.

Interesting back story: So said church kid above and I used to go to the same church for a bit. He was new to the city so we were friends. I mean, we had a small youth group anyway. We'd talk on the phone and all hang out in a group, no biggie. This was before I could drive, so he picked me up to go to the mall one time. He said hi to umma so whatevs, right? I get to church for something and someone saw us at the mall and had already spread rumors. That sucks. Not only that, but he had been telling folks that we were together and that he dumped me. He told my friends (who he never met) that he dumped me. And as soon as I found out what happened and tried to talk to him, he and family switched churches. We've never had more than a 10-sec interaction since then (a few mutual friends, car rides, same college, etc.).

I'm going to look for a job in London. I'm not kidding.
