Talking Sh!t
Well, dear readers, the battle is on.
I came home today to find a note from Reilly (the heat-seeking, asshole, redneck, substitute roomate) on my door that noted to me that because he hadn't used the Broadband internet, he didn't want to pay part of that bill. I can understand that completely... and I don't think he should pay. But to this point I had been refraining from leaving notes for him at the risk of seeming annoying and this was simply TOO MUCH an opportunity to respond.
He's had the chance to use the AT&T cable, but hasn't. Does this mean he should pay for it? In my opinion, no. In the same vein, do Ty and I want to pay for a Jamaican-load of heat that we didn't use? Nope. Same difference, ne? It's a bit more subjective, I know. But all things being equal, I calculated last month's output per person to be about $35/ person in a 3 person household. That's for a 4 person useage. This month, for a 3 person useage, the heat was $42.63 per person. Does that make sense? It should go DOWN 10 bucks, not up. Okay, so it's not that major a difference but it's the wasteful principality of it. All things considered, water included, Ty and I should be paying $45 this month and Reilly, to make up his difference, should be paying $71.26. When you look at it that way, it does seem like a difference. Not so much to Ty and I, who would be down approx $10 each paying for Reilly's heat, but for Reilly, who should pay for his laziness and inconsideracy.
I know I'm neurotic, but the fact that he left me a note on my door about bills and not using the cable was just asking for this retort. Am I wrong?

And on another note, I guess I just have a lot on my mind now, aside from this insecurity. More entries tomorrow on alternate universes and stuff.
