good and bad times

today is the first day of orientation and im loving it thus far. i think my class is full of really cool people. tho when i first walked into the room where we had breakfast i thot i had walked into a 'white males' convention. but it turns out that my class is 45% female, so i admit my intial observation was wrong. anyhu we've been having sessions and cool stuff like that and everyone ive met has been really nice. spending the next 2 years in class with them should be a really great experience.
so yes, in that regard its been good times.
however i had a fight with my landlady yesterday.
people, it was ugly. i mean it wasnt an all-out fight, as opposed to her yelling at me and me looking on in shock and mumbling my apologies. what was it about? i dared to bring a guy into her house. what happened? it's sunday morning and he came to pick me up for church. i invite him in so he doesn't have to wait for me outside. and my landlady saw red.
what's really ironic is shes got 3 tenants and 2 of them happen to be men so i guess its not that she's got a problem with all guys, just the ones i happen to know. she said some really hurtful things and i think what pissed me off the most was the fact that she's always been telling me how im the perfect tenant and she wants me to live there forever so im trying to understand how in the blink of an eye, i became the very epitome of all things evil. she wanted to know who he was (none of your business), where i met him (still none of ur business) but i told her he was from church and he was there as my ride to church and she goes off with how its the born-again ones (said with the ugliest snarl ive ever had the horror of seeing) that are the worst cos shes handling this case (shes a social worker) of a supposed born-again christian whos a pedophile so i shouldnt even say church in the hopes of making it better (woman, u asked for where i met him!!!). she said how she doesnt just let people step into her house without doing some sort of background check on them and she has the power to find out things about me and my friends that i would not believe and i dont want to know the extent of the stuff she can get on me (i beg ur pardon, what exactly are u threatening me with?). and she went into the whole im from another country so i dont understand how things work here (first, people are the same worldwide; second, ive lived in this country for more than 4 years; third and most importantly, what the heck has the fact that im a foreigner got to do with anything?!). then she said she knows i come home for lunch and she sometimes does that too (lie! in my 2 months here shes never come in for lunch) so if she should come in and catch me with a man in her house, my things will be out on the street that very evening.
WHAT??????????
ive got to move out.
first off, who the heck do u think u are? and do u think im going to be having orgies in ur house, or im going to invite thieves to come see the layout of ur place? who do u think i am? and if im paying u rent, whatever i decide to do in my room is up to me. this is business, not family.
unfortunately, even tho im on a month-to-month plan, when i moved in i gave her my word that id be here at least until december and after that id give her a months notice b4 moving. which means im stuck here for the next 4 months. i want to weep.
so yeah, in that regard its been bad times.
buts its all good. i reported her to God. and Hes capable of seeing me thru everything.
even landlords.

Grrrrrrl you get to move. Things are different now. Had she said calmly she didn't want male guests so please don't have male guests thats one thing, but all of that creepy "Im gonna look stuff up on you" talk, you earned the right to move.

I'm really sorry that you had to experience that. I would think a social worker would be a little bit better at dealing with people!

Glad you're back!!!

Or you could stay until December and have an orgy in her house.

For what it's worth, my two cents: Don't worry about what you told her. Move out now while you're still feeling clear about what happened. She broke her side of the bargain and doesn't deserve any fulfillment of a lease arrangement, especially if it's not on paper. The things you've said she asked you are clearly illegal and she'd have no grounds suing you for any unpaid future rent. I'd look for a new place and if you find one, give her appropriate notice of no more than a month, then move out. Trust me. It will only get worse. There are plenty of great people in that area to live with.

i love the orgy idea!!!!!!!!!!!! quick dc, gimme ur chinese lanterns =)
yeah, one would think a social worker would have better people skills but i dunno, maybe her work has made her paranoid. so im now looking for a place. and i dont believe im going to stay until december either cos one, shes a jerk; and two, the third tenant is living in the basement and is supposed to move up when someone leaves. so its not like she even needs a month to find my replacement.
thanks for the encouragement people. *sheds a tear or two*

@ Og - born-again ones are the worst cos its born-again christian whos pedophile. See, I knew there was a reason why I hated them christians. And now here's proof why... because a crazy jealous social worker said so. I'll have a chat with the big G over lunch today and we'll see if we can't go for a dual smiting.

@ Diana - Haaahahhahhhaaahhahahhah, Oh Mercy! *Satan wipes away a tear of laughter* That's worthy of my site.

@ brien - Beautiful, funny, warm christian woman in an orgy. You linger on that scene long enough to think it would be worth a comment and then use my name as an excuse. I think you need to own up to being the pervert you obviously are.
