My roommate is having difficulties, but it's not so bad, at least not for me. I guess he's in horrible pain all the time. I don't know. It's hard to know what's serious for him. He plays alot of little head games with people, using little secretive, manipulative strategies to get what he wants instead of just asking for it, so it's hard to know when something he says is for real and when he's actually trying to get something else.

It's difficult living with someone who demands so much attention. On the other hand, in lieu of a television he is a good source of entertainment. Plus, I'm getting good at ignoring him when I need to focus on other things.
