As Ben and I were about to head him off to work, the manager lady stopped by for an inspection. Ben told her he was leaving that moment, but let her in, and I went back to the rooms to shut the doors because Josh, Ben's roommate, was sleeping and the sound carries very easily.

I hate stumbling across someone else's journal, finding they know everyone I know and have the same interests I do, and yet, somehow, I have no fucking clue who they are. Drives me nuts ( Read more... )
