Today's bout? Yet another flurry of texts. Enjoy the read.
I am making trips to the goodwill this week and there is a bag of stuff near the bottom of the stairs that belongs to you. Please sort or move. Thx.
I will deal with it when i get home, but i would appriciate [sic] it if you did not take anything away from the house or from where it is with out [sic] letting me know or asking if it belong to me [sic]. Thank you.
The thing I'm taking are mine so you can calm that down thanks. It's been in a closet for months and u said u were going to sort it a while back.
Im still going threw [sic] stuff. And im not just speaking on my own behalf. Others have complained to me. Thanks
If the others have a complaint and have not said so to me, it doesn't count. They are big boys and can speak for themselves.
Well they aren't so. And im just saying leave my stuff alone please. Im not angry or upset just getting annoyed with the sudden tension and control thing. And no one wants to say anything cause *** doesnt know how to be nice and *** doesnt want to hurt your feelings. So im just asking nicely to ask before you act since it concerns other peoples belongings and not your own. Its polite not to move stuff without asking. and your chain mail doesnt count. thank you. Also i don't do well with things like whats been going on at the house, so if i come home and anything has been misplaced moved or is missing i will probably freak out. I dont adapt well to people bothering things that belong to me. Especially without letting me know. Please be considerate of other people reguardless [sic] of how the clutter or situation makes u feel. other people live there to and its not your way or no way. and im tired of hearing people complain about it. so this is how i feel.
Thanks for the input. Did you want to add anything else?
nope thats it. just respect me and my stuff.
As for being tired of hearing complaints, direct ppl to me. as for asking, been asking. We talked about all this before. I'm not damaging or disrespecting anything. If I were u would know. In any case, a talk is in order. See you at home.
As i said im not angry or upset, i just wanted you to know what is going on, and how i feel about the situation. And I dont recall this conversation nor did *** when i asked him had you talked to him. So maybe a reminder besides a chain texts saying get your stuff.
[At this point, I sent all of the roommates a message that reads as follows:]
So I have been rather aggressively moving things about and cleaning things. If there are any problems u would like to voice about it, feel free to tell me. Thx.
[I don't care that much, but I'm not a complete douche.]
*blip: new text from roommate #3*
[Italics are me in this convo]
Fucking stop!!! I am tired of being in the middle of this shit! Look, I think it is great that the house does not smell like dogshit anymore! Thank you. But, you, roommates 1, 2, and 4 and i need to just sit down like fucking adults and talk about the issues people have like fucking adults!!! Agree?
I'm fine with it. The only reason you have received this is bc *** said u had a problem and i liek going to the source. If u don't have a problem, i'll leave u be.
I have a problem with there being a problem in the house. Understand? I do have some issues of my own. My amp needs to stay downstairs. I don't have enough room upstairs, you know this. I hate the dogs. I hate coming home to shit piles and the aroma of piss. We all just need to talk. Get everything out in the open.
I feel you. The amp will stay downstairs. I have no intention of moving it.

As for my thoughts since these messages, they are coming along or getting off at this point. It doesn't matter to me. A new apartment could easily be mine AND cheap in 30 days without a second thought.
Honestly, she can come at me sideways if she wants and I will be ready with a countermove every time. Not only that, but she's now drawing people into the argument that don't have a problem. She brought in roommate #3 and you already know how he feels (if not, please scroll up and re-read). Roommate #4 has been with me from the start, so now there's the matter of the other two getting on board or whatever.
As for her opinion: doesn't mean much to me. She will either do what I suggest or her items will be moved. Mind you, this stuff is in the living room. Not her bedroom or anything like that, but a common area. How do you justify that nonsense? Who could? I'm not goin for it. She can make all the arguments she wants, but it would take so little effort for me to pick them apart that I don't want to take the time to bother.
Oh, for the newest changes:
- got cleaning supplies.
- new water bowls for the cat and puppies.
- new bookshelf for the dvds.
- moved large amp into a closet.
- new litter box for the cat.
- new chains for the puppies.
- new leashes for the puppies.
- cleaned out trash cans with bleach.
- mopped floors.
- vacuumed and febreezed.
- goodwill items placed in one, central location in an out of the way area.
Results? Open floor space. Reduced animal odor. Pissed off roommates. A smile on my face when I walk into the living room or kitchen and a newfound joy in being downstairs in my own house.
