life, o life.....

You know just when you think it can;t get any worse....
I houseshare, which means I essentially live with 4 strangers and my even stranger sister. Now, because some of the girls were going home for the summer - we decided to sublet some of the rooms. Well... it was all going well, or was it?

One of the girls comes up to me at 11pm on Tuesday saying her friend will be coming over from Germany on Thursday for a couple of days, would that be a problem? Ofcourse, I said no, no problem. We talked and I got a bit suspicious and then I asked "male or female?" to which she replied "male, why?whats the difference?" The difference is this was advertised as a female-only house. Apparently that didnt make it clear that there might be a problem with males staying over. So then I asked exactly how long is a couple of days, to which she said "oh he comes on thursday and leaves on tuesday." So a week, I said. No she said, a couple of days.
Well u know me, my sarcasm came out.
"darling" I said. " 6 days is a week!"
"oh yeh"
"so basically he is coming in 2 days for a week and only now u are telling us this"
"oh it was a sudden decision"
"uh huh"
"so will there be a problem? cos I asked M (one of the other girls) and she didnt think so."
"right. Well yes there may be a problem. As you may have noticed . 2 of us are strict muslims and would not like to have a strange male wondering round the house at his pleasure."
"Oh well, i'll keep him in my room - you'll barely see him"
"not the point hon - i'll still have to wear the hijab everywhere outside of my bedroom. not fair, since my house is the only place I can relax"
"but hes coming in a day! Maybe u and Lam can stay somewhere else for a bit"giggle!
"what?I'll talk to Lam and get back to you by tomorrow morning"
and so it went.

I was pissed off by this stage already. Lam did have a prob with it aswell, so we wrote a polite note saying we were sorry but it would be wrong for us to say yes.
The next morning, a note saying she was extremely "unhappy" with our decision, we had to change it, and her b/f had bought a very expensive ticket to get here.
Well did i bloody tell him to? Did I bloody try and manipulate a situation to get my b/f to stay somewhere he was not welcome? Did i leave it till the last bloody minute to ask my housemates?!

Anyway that night, the housmates had a discussion. In which Lam and me basically had to give in cos he was coming the next day and it wasnt his fault. It was hers.
GODDAMN IT!
Why is friggin sleeping with your b/f more important my religion?My faith? my comfort? What the f*** is wrong with you - you insensitive heffer?!

Anyway - as u can tell I wasnt happy about the situation.

And well since one housemate got to have her b/f over - the one wanted hers in her bed too. Well.... shit.
What the hell can u say? How can u say yes to one and no to the other? So the answer was yes.

But I swear, the next person to bring their b/f in the house overnight will find him come morning in the backyard castrated with a blunt knife.

I am not happy. In fact I am pissed off beyond words. Its been a while since I was this angry -and trust me when I say I do not usually stay angry long (long being 5mins) but this has me MAD!

Wallahi, I feel like I'm boiling inside with anger. Everytime I see her - I get angry.
Yesterday I turned on the TV and some German footballer was giving an interview and I had to turn over cos the german accent pissed me off!!!

I cannot describe how angry I am. How dare she put me/us in this position??

I feel..... so frustrated cos there is nothing I can do. I wish I could hurt her, throw her out, take vengence, anything!

but all I can do is sit in my freakin hijab at home all the time and simmer.

bitch.
