frustration

i think the thing that is bringing this whole episode on is the fact that rent is due in 2 days.  this is the first time we've had to pay rent since the whole roommate fiasco started.  i just don't want to live here anymore (in this apartment, specifically).  i am getting a pretty good deal in that i'm paying half the rent on a 2-bedroom and i'm basically the only one living here.

the frustration comes when i talk with my roommate and keep hearing not only of his medical issues (which i can sympathize with him on), but i also hear about his stupid--STUPID decisions regarding money.  i can't imagine he'll ever be in a good financial position, let alone anytime soon.  about a week and a half before the first medical thing happened to him, he used his student loan check to buy a $1200, 50" HDTV.  stupid.  now he has all these medical bills and prescriptions to pay for.  that sucks.  on top of all that, he has moved back to campus and is now paying for room and board on top of his rent and utilities here.  sucks.  also, he still has to pay car insurance and a car payment on the brand new truck he got at the beginning of the summer, even though he can't drive it now because of his medical condition.  sucks.  when he approached our landlords to see about getting out of the lease based on his medical situation, they told us no; we'd have to pay 4 months rent and lose the deposit--which equals out to about $3000.  sucks.  despite this, i don't think he even really tried to get out of it, and on top of that he doesn't seem very concerned about getting out of it, which just seems ridiculous to me, considering all the other expenses he's racking up right now.  stupid.  oh, and i think the thing that tipped it over the edge for me is when he was at the apartment today and told me he just bought an xbox 360.  WHAT?!?

i don't want to be around when all of this comes back to bite him in the form of credit card debt, as i'm assuming that's how he's paying for all of this, since before any of this happened i know that he had at least 4 credit cards, each with a balance on them.  i don't want to be responsible for all the rent on this 2-bedroom apartment when he comes to me and says he can't afford it anymore.

i want to get out of this lease, but i don't even know if we have any sort of a case because i haven't gone over the lease in detail and he has the only copy and he keeps neglecting to bring it over to the apartment when he comes over!

my job is stupid, i can't stand this living situation, and i wanna live somewhere else--by myself.

rant over.
