Halloween Already?

There is a post that belongs before this, but it takes longer to write, so Im goin out of cronological order. Ying showed me a box of Dots (the candy) and asked is this candy? And I said yes, He said Im not sure if Im suppose to be eating this? I said why? he said I found it outside. and I said yeah no youre not, thats probably why youre sick. Then he got deprssed and started watching Asian soapOperas with the sound turned off...... Also yesterday i was on the train, and there were a few other people on it and about 30 open seats, and Kevin also happened to be on it. He said Hey john mind if I sit with you, and i said Kevin there are 30 other open seats, yeah I do.

He's Baaaaaaccccckkkk

So after the meeting with the RA Kevin has been extremely nice too me. So nice it scares me. And he keeps asking "are you sick?" "are you sure youre not sick?" So i feel like one day I'm gonna be poisoned or something lol. He keeps offering to bring me back food to the room.
Today in the afternoon, the door opens and Ying casually walks in. He missed three days of school. I asked if he was okay, and he said no, I am going to die. I said did you go see a doctor, he said yes I am not contagious. I said whats wrong, and he said I am sick, and I said I know but what did the doctor say, he said I am not contagious....this went on for a while unill Ying finally said. ohhh the doctor said i do not get enough sleep. - Now it turns out in Yings absence, the first available detriple was ready, but since he wasnt here another room got it. - So Ying lied in bed and muttered Im dying as i went to class. As far as I can tell he just is over tired because he has insomnia, so im not too concerned. When I got back from class, he had draped sheets over his bed. (he is in the bottom bunk so he hung them through the top bunk, and made himself walls) and now he has a little fort to lye in misery.

The Worst - In My Opinion

So I woke up today and Kevin was masturbating, and not even discretely. It was kind of disgusting, so i just left the room. Then I got back, and I guess last Wednesday, he did a laundry, but never dried it and left it sitting in a closed plastic bag ALL 5 days of the break. and now he is taking it out and natrually it smells like molding old wet clothes. So he hung them up all aorund the room and put the fan on to dry them, I left for class. When I came back not only did the room STANK, the whole hall way reeked, i couldnt breathe in my room, so I said Kevin to rewash them, b/c they will mold, and he said these dont smell, youre wrong. so I left to do work outside in fresh air. I cant help but think WHO LEAVES WET CLOTHES IN A SEAL CONTAINER FOR 5 DAYS, and then who denies the smell. When I got back, the clothes were still there, so I told the RA, and finally Kevin re washed them and febreezed the room. HE was anoied I told the RA, so i dont think were stil best friends, but later in the evening when i got back form dinner, he did apologize, so we'll see what happens next!

My BFF Kevin

After Ying left Kevin was more friendly than ever. I came home one day to a note on my desk with 7 dollars saying he took 7 dollars worth of quaters, and he was paying me back.. now my bag of quaters is in my closet and underneath a towel. but hey were as close as brothers (sarcasm!) He asked to ride the train home for break together, but I said I'd help him find a ticket and we would take seperate trains. When we got back from break Ying still didnt come back. Kevin brought a fridge back with him, and said he got it for us and its ours to share, and i can have anythign I want including the water inside of it. I said "thank you but thats okay" because once we star sharing, that gives him even more permission to borough my things - like quaters. But then we had a nice conversation about jews, which made him think we were friends again. I made a joke about Ying and he laughed a little too hard. Then i had to reashure him no one was firing guns outside, until he fell asleep.

The Fall of The Chinese Empire

I came home one night to Ying (who somehoe acquired a lab top) wrapped in a blanket shivering saying he went to a hospital and has a migrain, and cant move, he was scared he was going to die. I tried to reashure him lots of people get headaches, and he just needed rest, and should take his medication, so he had me get offod for him, but when I came back he said "John I am scared I need to go home" So I found him a train, and he left. He took nothing with him not even a lab top or clothes.

Trouble In Paradise

Kevin came home with a poster of beer which apparently upset Ying, so Ying wrote Kevin a note saing "could you please take this down, it makes me think of beer and I am frightened I might start drinking here, and I need to stay focused." After Kevin refused to take it down, sides formed of me and Ying hating Kevin, and Kevin and me hating Ying. Ying brought the problem to the RA saying he cant sleep and everything is a distraction; Kevin is not understanding of his needs etc. I talked to Ying and found out he has insomnia, among who knows what..anxiety I guess, and he is heavily medicated. I warned him a new room mate might not being accomodating to his life style, but he insisted on having the meeting with an RA, and now once a space is found for him, we will be the first triple detripled. Kevin ended the meeting with "John and I are BEST FRIENDS!!:) - How lucky am I!?

Multicultural Madness

For the next week or so I woke up to rice bing made or hearing chinese words being screamed out in sleep. Sometimes there would be strange foods or a carton of milk in a pot of water that wasn't there when I went to sleep. Ying left notes like "feel good" and "where do you buy a bike" and "what does a cricket look like?" on my desk for me. Kevin is a big, fat, obnoxious slob who thinks were best friends, and tells me all about his girlfriend and ridiculous things I dont want to hear. He abuses his girlfriend verbally on the phone saying "youre the only brunette Ive gone out wiht, I only like Blondes you should feel lucky" and "if you ever break up wiht me I'll kill you" and "you should listen to your mom, if she tlaks about me I'll kill her too" and he says how theyre getting married, and just other ridiclous horrible things.

First Impressions

Day one: my parents left around 6:30/7:00, which is also when Ying tells me he needs to go to sleep. All he brought with him were 2 comforters (one with Hello Kitty, the other with Asian Dragons), some pants, a coat, and a bar of soap - no sheets, no book, no computer. So he layed down his comforter and prepaired for bed. I go on the computer, and Kevin leans over my shoulder asking what I'm doing and tring to "help me"... he always wants to help.
Ying cant sleep with any distractions: this means lights on, noise from computer keys being pressed, the sound of a fan blowing, not even the crickets chirping outside. Also sleeping to him apparently means running in and out of the room 173 times a minutes. He had never heard a cricket chirp before, and was convinced by going out aside he could stop them form chirping. He kept doing this, untill i guess tired himself out.

Move In

Move In day kinda reminded me of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, when you see all the kids parents and realize where they get it from. I was first to move in, as i finished setting myself up, a rather fat woman busted through the door, speaking Russian or with a heavy accent. She was followed by a small thin man with glasses and a moustache who didnt speak much, and did what he was told by his wife. Lastly Kevin sauntered in, a fat tall boy with curly hair, who didnt say much unless to talk back to his mother. The family was stingy and complained a lot. Finally Ying showed up. His mom, dad, brother and him all seemed to just enter at once. They spoke only Chineese, put down one suitcase and left.

Prolouge:

So as we all know, my roomates are annoying. There not terrible it could def. be worse, they could be rude and mean, bu theyre just annoying. BUT I figured if I have to deal with this, I may as well entertain people with it at the same time. So I decided to post all my roommate happenings here for the worlds enjoyment. I swear, nothing is a fabrication!
It began over the summer I recieve the names of my room mates in the mail; Kevin Nepomiashy and Ying Yan. I connacted Kevin on facebook saying " Hi I think were roomates" he responded "oh you found me, i shot the single bed" (this later worked for my advantage, because when I got there the top bunk got an entire desk and closet in the triple, and when Kevin asked "why?" It was because he shot the single bed). Not much later after talking on facebook we got a phone call from Mrs.Neponiashy ( not Kevin, mind you, his mother) She had a thick Russian Jew accent, and was asking for me to bring things which are needed, ya know the essentials like a fan, a full size fridge, a tv, a microwave, lol. So we told her the rooma are small and Im not bringing anything I dont need - like any of that stuff. So she hung up saying she was going to call the other room mate. That was the last we heard of her for the summer.
