11/3/08 - Brief Afternoon Update

I'm pretty busy at the moment, so I'll save a longer update for tonight. Here's a quick one to tide you all over.

I woke up this morning an hour early so I could study for a linguistics test, and found out that Ben's bro/homie (I like to call them "bromies") slept over. Again.

This kid is constantly here. If they're not wrestling with each other in the living/main room, then they're sweating over YouTube videos of "Dudes lifting heavy things" or studying for an "extremely hard" engineering exam.

For the past couple weeks, Bro-Love Kid has been sleeping over. Normally he sleeps on the couch in the living/main room, and normally he doesn't shower (which is becoming increasingly obvious from the smell wafting from his chosen sleeping area). Since he doesn't have a key to our apartment, he rings the doorbell until someone lets him in (I normally don't) or props the outside building door with a rock (which I always kick out into the bushes). I want to know this: Who the fuck is this kid, and why is he living in my apartment? Where did he come from? Did Ben suddenly become part of the Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America program and adopt a wayward college student to go to the gym with?

Evidence seems to point to yes, as this morning I saw Bro-Love Kid waking in and leaving from Ben's room, sleepy-eyed and possibly anally-sore. If this doesn't conjure up images of Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, nothing does. It's becoming more and more likely to me that Ben is one of those people who is outwardly very anti-homosexual, but inwardly very into it. Based on the size of Bro-Love Kid in proportion to the size of Ben's room, it's very unlikely he slept on the floor. Apparently they LOVE sleep overs/cuddle parties, because Bro-Love Kid is still hanging around here today. Does this kid even go to class? Christ!

I don't know, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. Perhaps young Bro-Love simply woke up during the wee hours of the morning in hopes of getting a frozen meat snack from the meat freezer Ben keeps in the corner of his room (I shit you not; it's there).

Regardless of the circumstances, Bro-Love Kid is just another creepy addition to an already creepy and annoying living situation. Maybe, and hopefully, Ben and him will break up and things will settle down a bit.

I've got things to attend to, so I'll update more later. Enjoy.
