So I've done it before, it's nothing new. However, this time the guy I'm living with is WEIRD.

I'm up outside Chattanooga for a summer internship with a chemical company, and needed a place to stay for 3 months that would let me bring my dog. I found a guy on Craigslist renting a room out in his house, so I called him and went up from Bham to meet him before I committed. I got up there and started talking to him. His name is Gary, he's 65, and he works at Bass Pro selling vacations. He tells me that he doesn't have many friends, and is a quiet guy that keeps to himself. He says at the end though, "I do have a girlfriend that comes over every now and then." I said ok, no big deal.

So fast forward to me living with him starting in May. He tells me when I leave for work that his girlfriend is coming over later. I figured it would be some sweet 60 year old lady that is gonna bake cookies and make pot roast. I come home one day from work and see a girl leaving his house. I figured she couldn't be more than early 20's. I said "Hey Gary, is that your daughter or granddaughter?" He said "No, that's my girlfriend." I asked him how old she was and he said she was 21.... This girl looked like she could be my little sister. It was this little skinny Mexican girl that dressed like a dyke. He told me they had been dating on and off for around 3 years.... He said "I let her borrow my spare car, give her a place to sleep, pay for gas, and pay for her food, and she gives me sex." I said "Gary, you know there's a legal term for a situation like this right?"

So anyways, one night I wake up to his stereo system blasting "Rambling Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I look at my phone, it's 4:45 AM. I stayed away until my alarm went off at 6 because it was so damn loud, but I didn't want to go downstairs incase they were doing it on the couch. I finally had to get ready for work, and his girlfriend is sitting on the couch drinking beer with another dyke looking girl. They don't say a single word to me as long as I'm downstairs making breakfast.

Fast forward to last night, he walks into the room and says "man, I gotta get to Walmart's pharmacy before they close, I need some Viagra." Damnit Gary I didn't need to know that. He tells me "I need to quit seeing this girl, but she's just so tiny and young that I can't turn the sex down." Now mind you, he says this like every other day. He will kick her out of the house, and then say that she is texting and calling him to get back together yada yada yada. Come to find out, she's a "lesbian" (his words) and he's the only guy she sleeps with.

So yeah, I'm living with a 65 year old man who has sex with a 21 year old lesbian in exchange for use of his car, food, and bedroom. It's a weird situation, but he's a nice guy and hasn't stolen my stuff. I leave Friday for good, and I cannot wait.
