I’m so damn pissed right now. Okay, I work out at night, it is what I do I always do it and I like it. I can’t do it in the morning one because I don’t want to, and two I can’t go to bed early enough to get up and do that early of a workout. I live upstairs in this old Victorian house that they made into apartments. The down stairs apartment has been vacant for a few months and I just got my elliptical back a few months ago. This new guy moves in and now I’m worried and nervous and it makes me scared to live in my apartment.
It started off, James was over here and I was playing a computer game. He knocked on the door (he knocked so hard I thought he was the police) all he was asking is where the light switch was for the laundry room, not a big deal because it is in a weird place, and really that was it. James leaves about 10 minutes later to go feed his dog and I just put my shoes on to work out. He lightly taps on the door.
It was him again and it made me really nervous. Why is it right after my door opened and James left he came up here? He told me the light was burned out, which I already told him that, then he got this weird look on his face. As I’ve said I’m a psychology major so I’m starting to really read body language and the way people say stuff (of course I’m not saying you can’t do this unless you take psychology classes but you know what I mean). He was sort of nervous acting and he asked me “Is everything okay?” WTF why would you ask me that? I told him yes and what did he mean. James stayed the night last night and nothing really happened. He told me that he heard someone yell OMG and then he heard coughing all night. Okay I have asthma so I cough in my sleep and James is coming down with his yearly cough. I told him that and that we are taking medicine but there isn’t anything else we can do.
He started telling me about medicine and all that mess and its like dude are you seriously disturbing me at 8:30 pm about a cough you heard. This is apartment living you hear people coughing, screwing, and moving there isn’t anything you can do about it. He said he was worried and pretty much said that he thought James was hurting me. Granted if James wanted to beat me up he could. He is a really small guy but we have played around and I really tried to fight back and I lose BADLY but other people don’t know that, James is a very little guy. First off it is really none of your business to ask me stuff like that. I mean yes it is nice to have someone stand up for women but he doesn’t know what’s going on. I don’t know I just think he was over stepping his bounds.
The first time he came up he was looking all around my room and it made me nervous then when he came up the second time he was doing the same thing. Then he started saying that he use to be in the military and he was over in Iraq so I’m starting to wonder if he has PTS or some other mental problem that causes paranoia. He said he heard noises like furniture was being moved all night. I don’t know what the hell he was hearing because the other guy that lives in the house works at night.
James finally came home and I was on the phone with my mom telling her about it. James had this weird look on his face and started to tell me as he was leaving out the door he asked him where he was going. WHAT why the hell would you ask someone you just met something like that. Then when James came back he said that he was walking all around the house and outside the house. WEIRD!!!!!
When we were still talking he asked me which car I drove and such. I’m so freaked out I’m going to call my landlord (the people that own the place is a nonprofit business so there really isn’t a landlord just a bunch of people that take my money, I interned there so I know them personally so that is nice).
I’m the type of person that I don’t want to start trouble and I don’t want them to say anything but they need to know just in case something else happens. He just said a lot of weird things that didn’t add up and sometimes he would sound fine and then other times he would ask weird things that were none of his business. Then he complained on how dirty the apartment was. They cleaned that place for two weeks and put down brand new carpet and he complained about how dirty it was. Just doesn’t add up and so I’m being very cautious.
James just lost his apartment and now he is living with me and I’m so scared he is going to tell my landlord that he lives with me. I mean I can lie and say no he lives with his parents he is just over here all the time but still I don’t want to lose my place. I’m over reacting I know but it is all just too weird and now I want to buy mace or a stun gun hahahaa.
Oh anyways let me relate it to my diet. My elliptical makes noise when I use it (and I use it for 2 hours) and so now I have to find a new hour to do my stuff and get him to leave me alone. AHHH why is everything standing in the way of me losing weight!!!!
