Prostitution Ban

A few nights ago my roommate Chris and I had the very awkward, yet vital, "rules of prostitution" talk. And it was decided that for the time that we live together here on Sundown Lane we would not entertain prostitution in or near the apartment. We added the "near" part after long debate as to whether prostitution would be allowed on the balcony. It ended in the idea that if prostitution was held on the balcony, such prostitute would necessarily have been in the apartment and would violate the terms of the foremade agreement.

On further speculation as to the case where one of us was to befriend a prostitute, be it male or female, if that prostitute would be allowed in the apartment. It was agreed that, though unfortunate, it would be unproven to the other party that lived in the apartment that had not befriended such prostitute that prostitution was not taking place, that befriended prostitute would not be allowed in the apartment. The befriended prostitute could possibly wait for the said friend just outside the door or on the balcony (as prostitution in this case would be very unlikely).

Now you may be wondering why such a conversation came about and why a rule had to be set. Well I will tell you. The other day a young lady came knocking at our door. This young lady greeted me with, "Hi, I'm your new roommate you ordered from eBay!", I immediately suspected the young lady was very confused or was a prostitute. To make sure she wasn't just confused I told the young gal that I had a roommate and that I hadn't ordered anything off of eBay. She continued to insist that she was ordered from eBay, so I thought that perhaps Chris had bought some time with a prostitute on eBay. So I call for Chris to tell him his girl from eBay was here. He walked up and denied ever ordering a prostitute from eBay nor a roommate. So we were in quite the pickle... It turns out she was selling magazines and wasn't a prostitute.

We were talking about this later, Chris and I, and I told him how I suspected that he had ordered a prostitute. He thought the idea was quite absurd. I told him that when I did think that it was his prostitute I was quite upset, and that I was ok with him having dates over but that I draw the line at prostitution, for the mere fact that they are prone to drug use and theft, and as he agreed early-on to maintaining a drug free environment here at the apartment I felt that he had gone back on his word. But as that didn't happen things were well and we did come to an agreement on the issue of prostitution in the apartment.

This may seem like an odd thing to come up in life, but I assure you, when living with others, it is very important that you make boundaries very clearly so that all parties are made comfortable in any situation.

First day of school today... It sucked.
