He's been living there since about a year after Dad bought the house. Dad wasn't using all of it at the time (we're about to now, though) and so he thought he could make up some of the stiff mortgage by taking on some people in the basement. Howard originally rented an upstairs room, and three people lived downstairs. Eventually, after a number of tenants switching downstairs and whatnot, Howard was the only one left. Dad had Howard move downstairs. About a year ago, I came to live here and took the room adjacent Howard's. Three months later, Jenni came to live with me and we quickly ran out of space. So now, Howard will be leaving by the end of next month (hopefully) and I will be picking up the rent burden that Howard is leaving, meaning that my total rent to Dad will be $700 monthly and I will have basically the entire basement as my domain. Of course, this is shared with Jenni. So soon, it will only be Dad, Joann the Horrible, David (that's me!) and Jenni (jennofay). Now all we have to do is get rid of Joann...

Truth be told, I don't mind Howard so much. Yes, he has a foul odor about him. He's inconsiderate. He's not friendly. But he's not fucking <b>annoying</b> like Joann. In other words, he leaves well enough alone. Joann has to meddle, and she has to find the most irritating way to do so.

Eventually, I'd like Jen (jeni) living back here as well, 'cause I think we had some fun times while she was down here. If that means that Paul (tokenidiot) needs to come back too, then so be it. Personally, I have no attachment to Paul as of yet - we've only talked a few times and although I like him and find him humorous, he hasn't been around enough to feel like a brother yet (unlike Brendan, my sister's ex, who lived with us for a year and a half and was a part of my life for four years before that). However, I think we'd quickly run out of space if that were the case - the only way that would be feasible is if Joann were no longer in the equation but, sadly, it seems as though that is not the case. She'll be here, at least for the next few years. The only other option, which I have been seriously considering, is raising the money to carry the entire mortgage & bills and then asking Dad if we can rent the entire house from him - meaning he and Joann would be freed up to get another place. I'm not at all convinced that they would even go for this, but it might be a possibility in a few years. We shall see.

Other people that are here because of relation to me: adny & meggen. Andrea (adny) is a good friend of mine, as is Megan (meggen). Incidentally, both of their nicknames are ones I came up with.

As far as I know, those are the registered users that I am directly responsible for. That should be a pretty good explanation of all of this.
