It's Baaaaaaa-aaaaaaaack!
You know what I hate? When people don't RSVP to parties. So fucking rude.
You know what else I hate? When people call me at 2:20 a.m. We've discussed this before. You know this. Most people should know better than to call someone at that sort of ridiculous time.
Guess who doesn't? That's right, Steamroller! She called me at 2:20 a.m. I didn't know it was her at first, just saw 00019... and knew it was coming from out of the country. As wildly popular as I am, I have nobody out of this country who should be calling me. So I didn't answer. Two minutes later my phone rang again, this time with an unlisted number. Stupid me, I answered it. Only to hear Steamroller.
Her: Green?
Me: What?
Her: Hi, it's Steamroller.
Me: It's 2:20 in the morning - is this an emergency?
Her: Oh, sorry, hee hee hee, I didn't realize; I'm in Hong Kong.
Me: Well now that you've woken me up, why are you calling?
Her: Oh, well I realized that I never got back my security deposit...?
Me: It's seven months after the fact and you just realized this now?
Her: ...
Me: E-mail me an address within the U.S. that you want it sent to.
Her: Okay. Blah blah blah...
I don't know what she was saying, because I hung up. I really wish there was some legal loophole that said I didn't have to give Steamroller the security deposit. I wish there were a statutue of limitations for this. But there's nothing, so I have to send it to her. However, being that it took seven months for her to ask for it, I'm in no rush to send her any money. When I get a job, I'll send money out.

Did she ever pay her part of the rent? If not, you can deduct that from her security deposit, and maybe even add interest I don't know. At least when it's all over, it's over, for good!
You certainly have some interesting roommates!! Love your Blog by the way!
Aw - now we'll all have to go through "Steamroller withdrawal" all over again.
I'd try to negotiate the repayment, After all, you're presumably still unemployed. "Could I send you a dollar a week?" If you get her to agree to anything other than full reimbursement immediately, still send the full amount. Or if she insists on the full Monty, send her that minus postage, or some strange amount like $1.59.
You can always claim you don't remember her calling you for the money since she woke you out of a dead sleep in the middle of the night.
What a bubblehead. Getting that phone call from her must have made you appreciate Trixie all the more.
it's because we talked about it! she must have sensed it.
i'm with snj...pretend you don't remember. there should be some sort of compensation for putting up with her. maybe the deposit should be her parents portion of the rent.
Thank you for being such a great leader. The other team members and I are really inspired by your actions.
