We… don’t have roommate meetings? Which sounds bad, but D: We literally JUST got a cleaning schedule put in place, and we’ve lived with each other for over a month and a half. Problem is that it is really rare that all four of us are home at the same time, and if we are, it’s late at night, people are studying/sleeping, etc. The weekends, one of them goes home, and the other two are usually out all day, only coming back at night, which is when I’m usually out. IT KIND OF SUCKS. 

But they’re really small annoyances. I mean, really. If they become like OMG UNBEARABLE and a huge problem, I think it would be worth bringing up. But at the same time, I don’t want to be like their mother and lecture them about it, so I’m just whining on tumblr. Haha. For the most part things are kept at a bearable level of cleanliness for me, just… the spills on the floor and the dishcloths… 

Aka you should be reading between the lines right now and concluding that I suck at confrontation about anything and thus just whine on tumblr/LJ/twitter about it. :( LOL. 

HAPPY VDAY THOUGH, MY LOVELY CHANTELLE <3 Hope you’re having a fab day :D?
