My house is cursed! -or- As My House Turns

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I live in a rental. I was invited to move in here last century ( :slight_smile: ) by a co-worker and his fiance - I got the basement, they got upstairs - and we got a real good deal on rent, as the landlord is his uncle. About 6 months or so after we moved in, they got married. A year later they were divorced, and they had both moved out, leaving ME with the rent.

Needless to say, I immediately got two new roommates (A & B) - both friends of mine from the college where I work. 4 months go by, and then one of them (A) announces that his former girlfriend - who had moved to Mississippi - was going to be moving in, as well. He seemed rather blase about this, but when she moved in it was apparent that they had continued their relationship where it had left off. Forward about 8 months, and I hear her scream upstairs (we were the only ones home). I go up - she had found out that A had a FIANCE in another state, that he had been seeing her since BEFORE she moved up from Mississippi, and that they had set a WEDDING DATE. Needless to say, she moved out that day (after thrashing most of his belongings) and he headed to his fiance’s place in Michigan about three months later. Meanwhile, he had set up another roomate (C) to take his place.

C lasted about three months, then moved to the Seattle side of the Sound to be closer to her employer. She moved in with her boyfriends, at her boyfriend’s family’s house. However, she left some belongings behind, and so was paying 50/month for storage.

C returned 6 months ago, with her boyfriend in tow, after finding out that BF’s father was abusive. Three days ago I come home from work to find a HUGE HOLE in my wall, and to find out that he had kicked it, then left. Needless to say, he’s history (and if I had known before he moved in that he was in DRUG REHAB, he would NEVER have moved in)

Meanwhile, B moved out two weeks ago to live with his new girlfriend. For some reason, he didn’t want to stay here.

I believe that, for some reason, this house is VERY relationship un-friendly. I remain steadfastly single. (although I am now dating A’s former girlfriend on an off-and-on basis)

Hey, I just have one question. When can I move in? I’m so single, it can’t possibly make it much worse. Hey, maybe it’ll get my ex’s to finally stay away from me.

Sounds to me like it’s not the house, it’s the people you hang out with. Some folks are just magnetic to those with soap opera-esque lives, and it sounds like you’re one of them. Have you considered looking for a place you can afford alone?

You’ve been filming this all along, right? Get a friend in the film or video business to edit it and submit it to MTV. I only request a 5% finders fee. :smiley:
