Sorry this will be a little long.... So I have the roommate from hell who is sadly my best friend. He used to live with me so I didn't think it would be that bad, but as soon as we got in college, he turned into the most annoying person I have ever met. He is a photographer with a $2200 camera and is very cocky about it. If you use a $2200 camera, you're gonna get some good pictures. Anyways he likes to try to compete with me all the time but I just ignore it and it's just turned into a game to see what he does. I am a filmmaker and I don't bring up what I do with film, or want to do with it unless someone asks. Even if they do, I don't ramble about it....
Anyways my roommate thinks this photography thing is a turn on for girls so here are some examples.
1. It was my friends birthday. We went to the store to buy her a cake and such with these 2 girls and I just brought my roomie along to be nice. We walk in and one of the girls says, "What kind of cake should we get her?" My roommate responds with, "Well I'm a photographer so..." I just looked at him with the dumbest look on his face.
2. The newspaper was looking for photographers, so naturally he went. They gave him an ID badge which he wears everywhere. Even on weekends if he goes out. I was walking to eat with a friend and he shows up behind us and asked if we wanted to eat. So we sit down to eat and he was actually being normal for once. Right after that this girl he kinda likes who is my friend came in and he was leaning back trying to look like a badass. She walks up and asked him why he was still wearing his ID. I laughed because it was true, we were eating and he was wearing it. My roommate still leaning back says, " Ahh well I just got back from a photoshoot." No he went inside a classroom and took a picture of people reading....
3. On saturday, my friend from the Air Force came in town so we were all going out. They were just going to sleep in my dorm because my roommate said he would be back late Sunday. Right as we are walking out the door, my roommate walks in and I was like heyyy ohh shitt no... So we sat and talked to him for a second, but as he walks in he is wearing his ID badge. He had just come from home, so apparently he seeks approval from his family by wearing this thing. My Air Force friend had heard these ID stories so he just pointed and started laughing, my roommate looked a little confused. But we just got up and left.
4. At night in the dorms, he likes to show off his tattoo. Very strange and almost ugly I must say, but he walks around shirtless in the dorms wearing his ID badge. Not just in the room, but in the halls and downstairs. Don't ask me why.
This is just a random happening from last night.
5. My roommate went to do homework until about 4 am. He stays up until 7 doing homework instead of just doing in the day before. He came in at 4:30 while I was obviously asleep, I have morning classes. He walks in and flips on every single light in the room and leaves them on. I woke up and was furious, adrenaline pumping. I asked him what the fuck he was doing. I sit up and he looks at me with this pissed off look. Now this stupid look could make me want to blow up a third world country, it is that annoying, stupid, hilarious, and infuriating at the same time. He looks at me and says, "Dude, I'm eating." Can you not fucking eat in the dark or use your computer as a light? It's what I fucking do, I never wake your ass up.
I have a book full of stories. That's the most recent/funny ones though.
