right... so today has been a decent enough day, but something occurred earlier that has both me and one of my roomates a bit worried... last night we had our friends over at the apartment, which is always nice. but the only thing that was not so nice was the mess left... it wasnt terrible, but still, it means we get to clean it up. This both annoyed both Sean and I. and we were talking about how we need to talk with our friends the next time, about cleaning up a bit better.... now admittedly sean was particularly annoyed, and was saying what he would LIKE to say, and while i know he wouldnt actually say it in that way when the time comes, he was still just blowing off steam... well Pat came in and we were saying that we should talk with them when we see them next. well obviously we must have either been misinterpreted, or said something at a bad time, but Pat became particularly snappy, saying that they did clean up the worst, and that he had cleaned up the rest. and while it is true that pat did indeed help pick up some of the trash earlier, all you had to do was look out on the deck to see clear evidence, of some of the beer bottles of the previous night. he then proceeded to say that our friends dont enjoy coming here anymore, because we bitch at them to clean up a bit better.
while i can certianly see this occuring (we have told them off several times) we also get pissed when they still leave a mess... this also is a bit odd for pat to say this, because he is always the one complaining about them coming over for monday night football for unimportant games, which basically makes it so that he sits in his room, i sit in mine, sean in his and the guys watch football till they get board, and then decide to play a game on either the cube or PS2. this also usually means that there is trash left behind... trash that i have to take out.... now i dont mind taking out the trash.... especially now that the dumpsters are right next to our building... but when we asked them to take the trash out (we do on rare occasions) they (our friends) looked a bit put off by our request.
anywho.... to make a long story short (too late). for some reason we somehow set pat off... of which we are both sorry (we both talked it over and are were not intending to piss him off). so pat, if you check your lj, and read this, I just wanted to know what we did, or said to set you off, so we a). can resolve the issue better. and b). not have this happen again... i dont like to see my friends upset. again this is also how we precieved this part of the story, and if there is a part that we are missing, please fill me in so we can resolve this better.
otherwise, i hope everyone has a good christmas/holiday and such!
