M

We have a love seat that came with the room. It's greenish gray and not very attractive. This really bugs my roommate M. Today I came home to a purple sheet covering it. It's a pale ugly purple that just makes the couch stick out in the room. Sticking out in a room where five girls have their stuff is a BIG feat. Everyone has pictures, colors, posters, etc all over the place that there is no overwhelming theme at all. But M decided that our ugly couch needed something to make is less ugly and since one of our walls is purple picked up sheet to "match" it. The wall is a deep purple that I love, the sheet is a pasty icky fake purple that I hate. It also cost $30. M didn't go to Goodwill to get said sheet. No. She went to Bed Bath and Beyond and got one with good thread count. And she wants us to pay her back. I'm not going to. I had no problem at all with the old couch, in fact I liked it better then new covered couch.
All of this happened half an hour ago. Just two minutes ago, M just told me she knows an upholster that could reupholster our couch if we wanted it. I didn't know what to say...I wish I had my headphones on so I could pretend I didn't hear this.

On top of this I have not had that great of a day. Lots of little frustrations and stresses adding up and M is acting like it's a crime that I've been gone all day (class, fiddle lessons, meetings with advisor, practice, student athletic leadership board, midterms) and now wants to talk to me. Ugh.

As soon as I saw the title of this I knew what it'd be about. Just keep breathing.

she knows an upholsterer?? Really? And this girl calls herself a college student?
