If it looks like a duck

Now my new roommate is someone i wouldn't have allowed to move in if my head was functioning. But in the name of saving a little bit of money, i let the this person move in. Honestly, my old roommate was better. Granted he made me uneasy among other things but he was ok.
This one acts like a child. He actually appears childish but reason demands that he has to be older. i guess reason is wrong. i had him borrow my NOT lamp when he moves in. Asked him to return it and he said he will return it monday. Yesterday, i wake up to find a box in front of my door. he did go to ikea to buy it and he placed the box in front of my door. So i place it in front of his door informing him i can't assemble it and i don't want something new to replace the old thing i have. he writes an extensive note which i really didn't read in detail saying as a sublandlord, i'm required to provide light. Huh, i never said that to Jenny when i moved into to monument and the person who lived here never said that to me but that could be because they grew up in baltimore so they know how things work.
So anyway, i told him he can take his lamp and i'd like for him to move out. Yes, it'll be my loss but after hearing his attitude with the comcast CSR when i put him on, i realized he's not what he seems to be. He got the nerve to ask me for the last 4 of my SSN and i told him i wouldn't tell him because it's personal. When he asked me to tell the CSR that he's authorized on the account, i told the CSR all i want is for him to add the digital cable and not to be authorized on the account. I said that only because of the behavior he'd exhibited with the customer service person. i'm glad i made that judgement.
i was thinking to myself i'd like to not have a roommate next year. I did consider for a moment that i shouldn't have allowed him to move in when he did. I wish i'd acted wisely but there's no need crying over spilled milk. I'm glad he's moving out. locked him out of the internet and he started acting childish, saying "i'm going to play loud music" which he did and being loud. He really reminded me of Sade. I'm really forcing myself to not think that nigerian kids who're brought up here are all one and the same. I was really forcing myself not to think like that but after standing next to him when he said he wanted to copy the note i wrote and had him signed, he smelled like he'd smoked something. Just like Sade. Looks like they're one and the same afterall.
The big lesson? I should've waited upon the Lord to give me a good roommate.
