The Hairbrush Song from Veggietales used to freak me out for some reason.
(Don’t you dare post a link to the song and disguise it as something else or I will force you to watch a movie! 
)
I enjoy dealing with foriegn truckers on the job rather than US born usually. They are way more polite and less “the world owes me something”.
Also second confession that’s job related…
My coworkers are all racist. And I don’t even mean a little. I die a little inside everytime I hear a n***** joke. I would report them buttttt… that would mean me working 80+ hour weeks if they where all fired. (If they where fired lol, drugs like cocaine are common here).
Edit: I realize the first part and second part seem a bit hypocritical. Let me be clear, I give every trucker who comes threw my gate a happy greeting and a fair chance. I am more or less stating I usually get attitudes from 'Murica types.

I think I picked up some stuff from “Star Trek”:
So this one might be a big one. Might help to get stuff off my chest though.
I had scheduled my vacation for a week this last week. Wednesday I was at my parents place, getting ready to head out to the movies with my niece and nephew when I got a call from a friend about my roommate. Basically he had heard that my roommate had tried to kill himself and was fired from his job (he worked at a different position than me). I couldn’t get any word from anyone back home, so I made the drive over and found out that he had not attempted suicide; instead he had been arrested after passing out at a gas station and in the search the cops had found weed, loratab, and meth. He called to quit his job basically so he wouldn’t get fired.
Now the weed was expected, he’s partaken of that for as long as I’ve known him, but the other two was just… a big shock. I said to the people there that we were probably going dry for awhile, and as they weren’t expecting him back for some time, I went back to the house, went to the movies with the kids, and then came back here (and managed to get a speeding ticket on the way). He was already home and was smoking again, and had a few beers (his reasoning was that he was going to fail the test at arraignment anyway and he wasn’t going to quit drinking because he wouldn’t have to).
I’d originally taken two extra days to my vacation to kind of help him through whatever, but after talking to him I don’t think he’s planning on making any major changes any time soon. I know he won’t be getting into anything hard because he can’t drive and people here are on the lookout for the main individual that we think is his main supplier. But still, he’s walking around doing the addict’s war cry (I’m not an addict) and talking about how things will change after the arraignment/indictment, but I don’t know. I think physically he’s as good as he’s going to get, but I don’t know how his head state is at the moment.
At this point… I think I’m going to have to move. Any day that I’m out here I’m just… hyper depressed. I get mad at him for doing it and keeping it from us here, get mad at myself for not realizing what was going on, and then just dead when I think he’s not really looking at it from the whole spectrum. I’ve got no idea how to bring up to him that I’m probably moving out in the next few weeks, but with everything up in the air as it is, I don’t think that I have a choice. Probably will live with mom and dad for a few months which will help me kill my credit card debt before I start looking for a new place.
I feel like ■■■■ leaving him in this state but he has no income and likely wont for awhile. His parents and sister will be supporting him and assisting with legal fees, but it seems likely that they’ll sell the house anyway to help with those bills. It seems like leaving is the right choice but I still feel like an ass as I’m the only one in a house of three that has any real income. The fact that he works at the same place I do and people are spreading rumors about why he’s gone isn’t exactly helping my work prospects either.
And again, I have no idea how to broach the subject.
So yeah. It’s been a great vacay.
Oh lord, that’s not good. I’m sorry buddy.
With the caveat that I’m not trying to seriously give Life Advice (I generally need some of that myself) my feeling in this sort of situation is that it’s not your fault, and therefore you musn’t take on any attendant guilt for making rational decisions about your own life. Fortunately it sounds like he has family, so you won’t be leaving him completely alone. And - said with complete sympathy for his situation, it’s really easy to make missteps when it comes to things like drugs - this is his issue and nobody else’s. Get the hell out of there, you’re reacting sensibly to a bad situation that you didn’t cause, and don’t feel guilty for it!
On a less important matter, I hope this won’t inhibit your CAH input while you’re at you’re parents?

My main thing is that for being as crazy paranoid as I am, I didn’t catch things that were leading up to it. There were… a lot of signs, some of which I just didn’t catch, others of which I attributed to… other behavior that I’d already come after him for. I won’t get into it, I just get frustrated that I didn’t catch it. Everyone says not to feel bad about it, and they’re… mostly right I think, it’s still not great with my personality.
I should be able to play occasionally, but their internet is garbage so there will be a lot more interruptions, I won’t be on voice as much (if at all) and there will be at least 57% more sobriety 
Should only be there for 3-6 months though. Gonna try to get my credit cards zero’d out and then save up for a new place.
Thanks for this too. I know it’s the “smart” thing to do, but it still sucks. The entire living arrangement was based on the idea that it was mutually beneficial. He got some financial help after his divorce, I got fairly cheap rent. It feels like I’m bailing on him when he needs people the most, but I read /r/relationships a lot and there’s an addage that keeps coming to mind. “Don’t set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm.”

Until he’s ready for help there isn’t much more you can do than be present and ready
Confession:
This irks me because I began playing POE after our chat a couple weeks ago
I’ll be solid in a few months. I’m not going to be looking at new places for another 4 months probably, because living with the rents would give me a chance to really beat the ■■■■ out of my credit card bills. Trying to look for silver linings at this point.
Just trying to put a little levity into an objectively ■■■■■■ situation
Friday nights will be less awesome without you

They really will! I may have to get you to record some rude things so I can relisten to them while traveling
I’d say the same of Funk but fortunately I’ve got 5 seasons of him (incidentally, a confession I guess, I semi-deliberately didn’t watch the last episode of WKUK because - I think - it’s on the short list of things I enjoyed so much I never read/watched the end of them, so they’d never be over).
