bleh

roommate issues... one of my roommates is constantly taking advantage of me and my kindness. i need to put my foot down, and as my (only female) roommate says, "be assertive". if he asks me to help him with something, i am allowed to say no if i am busy.
this applies to the other guy, too, who asks me last minute for help moving something when he had helped me before - he didn't make it a condition of having helped me, but says, "i helped you so i expect you'll help me". not fair, i think, especially to ask me last minute when i have other things going on. ... so i just stood up to the guy, and he seems really disappointed - i said, "i cannot help you today, but i can tomorow." and he said, "well, ok, i guess i will try to get it over here then..." like i am supposed to feel guilty.. and i recall the conversation M & i had regarding annoyance and how we'll do anything to keep people from being annoyed at us because THAT'S THE WORST and i decided - TOO BAD, my roommate's annoyance is HIS PROBLEM because *he* is the one who waited til the last minute to ask my help. so it's not my responsibility, how he feels.
