I think I may have crossed over to the -zilla phase of roommateness.
Not!Emily and his girlfriend have completely stopped washing silverware. They'll do all of their other dishes, but leave all of the silverware. It used to not bother me. I mean, I'd get annoyed, but it wasn't an all-the-time thing. So, I'd just do it and be done with it.
I find myself, now, though, keeping track of the silverware that me an Emily use. I haven't decided what I'm gonna do about it, but dammit, I'm gonna know when they're doing it. And they're gonna lose points!
Or something.
Actually, it kind of makes me laugh. It's like I have the roommates who hate washing silverware. Emily really despises washing silverware. So, when she steps in and helps with the dishes, which is really sweet, she always leaves the silverware.
I just thought it was kind of funny when I was washing stuff this morning, and I was all, "HEY! We didn't use those knives!"
I mean, really. Who else, besides crazy me, would even notice?
Hee. I hate doing the silverware too. Which is why I have mountains of the stuff. But it still has to get done at some point, seeing that the silverware fairy is apparently falling down on the job.
Apparently, I am the silverware fairy. Maybe I lost your address. We fairies will fix that and get right on it.
I think you take the silverware and lock it up -- with a lock only you and Emily have a key/combination to. Take it to the next level of craxiness!!
aiee! I'm very nervous. Some good-offer ~ma would be most appreciated!
Much good-offer~ma to you, Nora. I hope everything works out the way you'd like.
What else are good Life List entries?
Raq, I keep pimping this to everybody I can think of who travels a lot, hoping that one of you will be able to try this, in case I never get it crossed of my Life List (which has far more entries that crossed off accomplishments):
Circumnavigate the globe! Actually, meara's done it now, hasn't she? Still, it's very good company to be in.
I guess I just love the idea of picking a direction and going that way until you come back to where you started.
Tons of fabulous offer~ma, Nora.
I don't want to go to the dentist.
