that's amore

nic has watched the first episode of mtv’s “that’s amore” 4 separate times, and thats only the amount of times ive witnessed it, who knows how many times hes watched it total. if i ask him if he could put something else on, he says “it’s my favorite episode” and turns it up way to loud (volume 50/50). what makes it even worse is he uses an over sized remote, about the size of a toaster, and looks at me while the volume increases. i am so mad >:-|

pbj ratio

justin’s jelly to peanut butter ratio is way off, he uses between 2 and 3 times the amount of jelly to peanut butter. this bothers me for 2 reasons. his sandwich is overloaded with jelly so he always ends up dripping it somewhere and doesn’t bother to clean it up. also he goes through jelly way faster than peanut butter and ends up stealing my jelly. i have seen him throw his jelly container out one day, make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich the next day and still deny using my jelly. he needs to buy 3 jellys for one jar of peanut butter, but he won’t, he’ll just steal mine.

calendar race

i have one of those calendars where you have to rip a page off everyday, its my calendar and its on my side of the room. at a little after midnight nic likes rip the page off, and do the victory motion when you thrust your elbow downward (similar to the truck driver horn motion) and say YESSS. he gets excited about winning a “race” that im not even taking part in, its so frustrating. >:-[

ipod phantom

i listened to my ipod today. all my songs were gone and there were 2 new songs on it: faith by george michael and faith by limp bizkit. i suspect nic.

that was easy

justin got one of those staples easy buttons a few days ago, he hasn’t stopped pressing it since. on an hourly basis i have to hear things like “yo, yo, bro whats 2 + 2″, regardless of whether i answer or not it is immediately followed by “THAT WAS EASY”. hes pressing it right now, he won’t stop.

paper towel trick

i was making easy mac today, i put it in the microwave for about 5 minutes and then went back into my room. shortly after, nic yells to me from the kitchen, “yo, your macaroni and cheese is done”. so i walk into the kitchen, see that the microwave is still on and theres still about two minutes left. then, as im standing in the kitchen with him, disappointed that my mac and cheese is unfinished, he says “oh, by the way, we need more paper towels”. so i pointed out that two feet to his left was a full roll of paper towels, he then started laughing hysterically like he had just said the funniest thing in history. i was furious, but i just took my easy mac and went back into my room. i just don’t get it.

sink trap

winter break is over and i came back to the apartment yesterday, as soon as i walked in the door i was immediately disappointed with having to live here for another entire semester. when i opened the door i noticed that it felt a little bit heavier, once it was completely opened the kitchen sink to my right turned on and i could see a system of ropes and pulleys were rigged so that when the door opened the sink turned on. The next thing i saw and heard were nic and justin sitting on the couch laughing at me. I wasn’t really bothered by the “booby trap” because all it did was turn the sink on, which was about 5 feet away so i was in no danger of getting wet. however, nic and justin acted like this was the greatest prank anyone had ever pulled and continued to laugh and taunt me for another 15 minutes. this is going to be another great semester.
