Oh. My. God. In the course of coming up with the title for this post, things in the house where I live went from "really unpleasant" to "I just called 911" I'm fine, I'm in my room with the door locked, but there are cops in my house.

I initially intended to write a post complaining about the little irritations of living with a seventeen year old - I'll call him T. (In a roommate situation, I live with him and his mother and another roommate) He doesn't lock doors, he doesn't respect other peoples' stuff, he's a drug dealer (not confirmed), blah blah blah, et cetera, ad nauseum. He and his mom were arguing *again*, and I wanted to just open my door, swear at them and be like "can I please just have *one* night of peace??" and decided that wasn't worth it, that I was going to just curl up in a ball in my bed and cover my ears. I've only lived here a month, which in my opinion is too soon for things to go so far downhill.

But as I was about to do that, I decided to bitch on my blog instead. So I pulled up MT and started typing. A knock at my door proved to be T's mom, asking me to call 911 since I have a landline and she doesn't. I'm not going to go into details about that, I just don't know enough of them, but I guess he was talking about suicide, which was the excuse to call but only the tip of the iceberg.

As I write this, T is in jail (I think- he's not here anyway), and now that he is gone the unearthly screaming has stopped. Now there are cops downstairs in the kitchen (three of them) talking to Chris. T supposedly isn't coming back for a while, but I'm not sure I want to take chances. I'm going to talk to Chris in the morning, but I may be staying somewhere else for a few days, and looking for a new place to live. I'm going to go to sleep now, the adrenaline rush is subsiding and I'm suddenly very tired. I'm just praying I don't have nightmares about the screaming.

That sucks a whole heaping lot. Hopefully things get better soon... or you find a better place to live, stat.

So sorry to hear that. How did this work out? Are things settled down now?

oh my gosh... living with roommates is hard enough, but even more so when some of them are seriously off-kilter. I am so sorry for you!
