I'm still getting to know my new roommates. I've been living here just over a month and due to the lack of an Internet connection (which was finally set up about a week ago) I haven't been spending much time here, or with them.
My male roommate, Zayd, is a pretty funny guy. I knew we would get along as soon as he ate all the my banana-chocolate chip bread. Since then, as long as I keep baked goods around he supports any decisions I make regarding the household. He's Arab, which would lead one to believe that he's very serious all of the time, but he's actually quite the joker and I'm pretty sure he thinks everyone is out to get him. For example, here's how our morning conversation went:
Zayd: (looking for something) I can't find my contacts
Me: Really... Well I don't know where they are... I haven't seen them. (I'm smiling the whole time, not because I'm hiding something but because I suffer from "Schadenfreud", which basically means that I laugh and take pleasure in the misfortunes of others. Zayd doesn't know this about me yet and misinterprets it)
Zayd: (with skepticism in his eyes) That seems very suspicious... I hadn't accused anyone of taking them...
Me: Yes, Zayd, I woke up this morning and thought to myself "how could I fuck with Zayd??? I know, I'll steal his eyes!!"
Zayd: (stops, thinks for a moment, then continues his search) That would be a really good way of fucking with me.
He still hasn't found his eyes and has been giving me weird looks all day. I didn't steal his eyes but now I wish I had.
UPDATE
Zayd is certain that one of us is fucking with him. He's begun interrogations with each of us asserting that we all "know something!!".
He has also decided that I am evil for suggesting he tear apart his bed sheets to look for his eyes. He said that though I may bake cakes for kids, I am evil. He's starting to get to know me!
2ND UPDATE
He found his eyes!! They were in the garbage, where I jokingly suggested he look. I swear I did NOT put them there...
