Made a lot of progress on events.gikopoi.com -- added iCalendar support; going to add ATOM feeds next. It's getting closer to what I want it to be.
Former housemate informed me that the preacher, Steven, teared up a painting my grandfather made for me, that I left behind in the house by mistake. This was after Steven reassured me that I could leave my old stuff behind at the house. After he found out that I moved without notice, he also texted me saying that he was glad we were friends and that he loved me like a brother.
He told us in February to prepare to move by May 1st, then midway through March informed me that he "accidentally" told his girlfriend (single mom) to move in a month early, so we had less than a month to prepare. After Steven ghosted me for months and kept flaking on me, I decided it would be more than fair if I just left early to make room for his gf and kid. Even paid the full month's rent. Apparently, they moved in shortly after I left, but Steven was mad that I wasn't paying the utilities anymore & that I didn't clean up his mess or the other roommate's mess, as I had been doing for almost a year. He makes a lot of bad life choices that wreak havoc on his mental health but does nothing to improve himself. It's disappointing that he let his immaturity lead him to destroy a treasured gift of mine, though. Bridge burnt. He doesn't even love his girlfriend! Even though I want revenge, the way I see it, the way he lives now is miserable enough that I don't need to "do" anything to return the pain he's inflicted on me.
So much hope for religion making men better men, I guess. The hardcore religious I meet are the ones who are the most immature, two-faced, and self-righteous. If they were emotionally stable and had a more sensible view of reality and their circumstances, they probably wouldn't be hardcore religious. Maybe I just constantly keep meeting the wrong kinds of the religious. Or maybe I don't even recognize the most religious people as being religious.
