The Perks of Being Riley

Life is so very fragile. We are all vulnerable. And we will all at some point in our lives fall. We will all fall.

Day 14: Cable problems

Yeah…. Comcast sucks.

I’ll edit this post later with more details, I’m supposed to meet some people for lunch at 1:00 and it’s 12:24, hehe, oops.

I’ll also tell you about Narwhal and Tarsier moving in, and how Platypus and I do absolutely NOTHING but fight. Fun fun.

Axolotl gets here today, thank goodness.

Oh! And I fixed my schedule, so you’ll get to read about that. Hooray.

Talk to you later :)

Day 5: Brother-sister relationship

If I were you I’d either read the whole thing or skip to the end- the end is the good part.

I had a huge epiphany today when Shaina pointed something out to me, when I went to her apartment again to help her get situated and clean up a bit. The epiphany being that Platypus and I are just like brother and sister. We fight most of the time, usually semi-playfully and about things that aren’t important, but other times we bond. Today was a perfect example of that.

This morning, I cleaned a bit while he watched Arrested Development and ate breakfast, talking to each other pretty much the entire time. After I showered, I realized we missed the showing of 30 Minutes or Less we were planning on attending, so instead I worked and watched Arrested Development with him. Then I drove him to the rock gym later while on my way to Shaina’s, and we argued about using the closet in the front of our house as a coat closet and why it’s not necessary to fight for the bigger closet while moving in to a new house.

Day 4: Pissed at Platypus day.

Let me tell you, I’m so excited that this day was the day Shaina arrived, cause if I had had to sit in this house all day with Platypus and his friend(s) I might have killed him.

First off, I was working in my room, and the doorbell rang. I finished typing my sentence, and went to answer the door. Now, I live on the complete opposite side of the house than the front door. Platypus, however, is right next to it. By the time I get to the door, which is my opinion really didn’t take that long, the Fed Ex man who was waiting had already knocked once and rang the bell twice.

So I sign for my package, and go back in my room. Then he comes in asking me why I didn’t answer the door. Uhm, hello, you live here, too. But wait - there’s more!

Day 3: Barstools

…the most exciting part of my day. I wish I was kidding.

I’ve been looking for bar stools to put in our kitchen, and my mom called me to let me know Walmart had some for $10. This was on Sunday. It’s Tuesday now, keep in mind.

Day 2: Well, this house is boring.

Platypus just sits in his room watching cartoons, and he played the accordion once. I drove him to the gym but he forgot it was closed, so he went to Walmart with me, and I felt bad cause he didn’t seem like he wanted to be there, and so then I felt rushed and didn’t get everything I went there for.

I also got in to Pottermore, so I spent like five hours doing that, and skyping our friend Shaina who gets here Wednesday and I’m so excited!

Maybe Platypus and I will go see a movie tomorrow, we did talk about doing so…

Day 1: First night in the new house!

Time for code names for the guys. I don’t want to reveal their real names, so I’m going to use animal names for fun :) They are Platypus, Axolotl, Tarsier, and Narwhal.

That being said and clarified, Platypus and I are the only ones here so far. Axolotl won’t be here for a while, probably two days before school starts once his summer job has ended, and Tarsier and Narwhal have no idea when they’re coming, as far as I know.

Now, Platypus and I get along great sometimes. We used to be best best friends, and something weird happened and I don’t really even know what triggered it, but we hit a rough patch for months. Luckily, things seem to be back to normal.
