KAZU COME HOME

Everyone has stories of the room mate from hell.  right?  please tell me I'm not the only one...

Aaron is my room mate from hell right now.  hes gross.  hes a perv. (and not in the good way.)  I woke up this morning to take a shower, and what do I see? A half-full tub of soapy water, compete with floating hair clumps, that refuses to drain.  After brief conference with my other room mate Richard (the good one), we have confirmed that it is indeed Aaron who insists on taking the bar of soap he uses and after its so thin that it breaks in two, he crams the halves down the drain.  I don't feel that I need to tell you the implications of this to us, the poor room mates, who feel the need to take a shower anytime within the next week.  This has happened multiple times, but that was just the straw that broke the camels back.

On Saturday I think, Saturday morning, Richards girlfriend slept over, and that morning the two of them were out in the TV room watching TV just hanging out while I was still asleep.  Aaron walks in, in his underwear, to "throw something away" in the living room trash cans.  Never mind the fact that they're overflowing already and he has some trash cans in his room.  Then Richards girlfriend tells Aaron that she has to go to the bathroom, goes into the bathroom, and ten seconds later Aaron opens the bathroom door and goes "whoops".  THEN, when shes washing her hands at the vanity sink, he stands right behind her, all stalker like, still in his boxers, and stands in such a way that she cant move without bumping into him.

I'm still surprised Richard didn't just punch him in the face, because that's what I would have done.  I mean seriously, what the hell is wrong with this guy?  he has some sort of physical handicap, he has one malformed hand.  I don't know what its called, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't translate into mental retardation.  the guy is 25 and hanging out in a college dorm being all creepy to any girl that enters the room.  Do you know how many conversations Ive had with him? 1.  at the beginning of the semester.  all other times he avoids talking to me or my friends.  unless its one of my female friends.  then he suddenly gets all chummy.  but not with me, with the female friend.  and now I don't even feel comfortable letting my female friends into my room, for fear of them being sexually harassed by my creepy-ass room mate.  

last year me and Richard were in this same room, but with different room mates.  one was mysteriously absent from the room the entire year (yay!), and the other was Kazu, the coolest kid you will ever meet.  he was studying abroad from Osaka, Japan.  when he first showed up he was the shyest kid.  like he was shy to begin with, but then you stick him in a place where he has to speak a second language, and he clams up like no other.  yet we persisted, we knew he was cool, so me and my friends engaged him and actually got him to open up. we took him to all the cool places in Greeley and showed him American culture.  we took him to the porn shop in Greeley.  we took him to the Cajun restaurant in Greeley.  and for his birthday we took him to the batting cages in Greeley.  He was a really reserved guy, but we could get him to laugh so hard that he doubles over and it made me smile.  

Dammit.  I miss Kazu.
