**pls dont quote this because im deleting it fairly soon***
ugh. ill try to make this succinct.
anyway, i had a friend in cleveland who i used to be very close with. after i moved out we grew apart. and now he has moved down here to nola and is living with me and i regret my telling him that i would help him get off his feet down here and i feel like he is kind of leeching off my life. i dont really like hanging out with him anymore.
these are my issues with him-
1. over the summer, he owed me money from 2 yrs ago, and when i got to hong kong an atm ate my debit card and i had issues wiring money between my accounts. so i asked him to pay me back some of what he owed me and i got no reply at all, so i spent 2 weeks abroad with virtually no money (i survived thanks to some help from awesome strangers)
2. he hasnt paid me rent money yet. when he got down here, he said he had some art project that he would get 1000 for after he submitted it. he got down here almost a month ago and still hasnt submitted it. i have seen him sitting around the house not working on it. he did manage to get done a different art project for 50$ but hhtat doesnt help me. i have nagged him abotu the 1000$ one but he has replied he 'needs time to contemplate.' im no artist, but i dont count spending time on facebook and reddit as 'contemplation'.
3. he left the door ajar one night and the cat escaped. seriously, i came home to find an open door. i live in the french quarter. this was hte thursday before mardi gras. terrible time for a cat to roam around the quarter. i found her the next day but i am still livid about this.
4. he took a while to get a job down here. its fucking easy to get a job in new orleans, esp before mardi gras. there was actually one time i came home while pedicabbing for a snack break and asked him if he was going to go out to find a job at night. his reply was he was too tired from walking. keep in mind that i was working a double that day on a bicycle. he finally did find a job as a door guy, i will give him this.
5. the night he got back when we were shit housed we hooked up. but he came on to me. we first started to hook up, i stopped it and was like lets not continue this. then he came onto me again and we ended up sleeping together. partly my fault because i hadnt been laid for a month and was horny, but at this point im ashamed of it and i dont like having him around.
he also just doesnt interact that well with my friends. the times he came out with us he just kind of tags along and hangs out on the sidelines. and im not pleased that cleveland has followed me down here. tomorrow he is interviewing with the pedicab company that i work for and i am hoping he doesnt get hired. so much that i am considering asking management not to hire him, which is really a backstabbing move. but he is hired with a different pedicab company which sucks ot work for, but he can still make his money. but i am thinking of telling management that i am going to kick him out and dont want the drama around. i know if he works with me he will end up hanging out with me and my coworkers all the itme which i really dont want. i kind of have my own thing down here and i feel like he is trying to leech on to my life.
again, this is largley my fault to begin with for promising to help him get on his feet down here. and i feel like a jerk for not being loyal to someone who once upon a time was my friend because i am typically a very loyal person.
i dont know what to do. im thinking of asking him to not interview with the company that i work for tomorrow. am i being as much of a cunt as i feel like? advice please.
