Tony and Barrett

I just got back from a week-long trip, and while I was away, I had a friend stay and care for the house. But now that I am back, he's still here. I would think it would be evident that once I return, he would leave, even on the day of my arrival. But he doesn't move an inch outside the house, nor does he remove his stuff. I should have known something strange about this when he replaced my couch with his couch. He also went through my vinyl collection and seemed to get rid of it. In its place is his collection of records. What was disturbing was that when I went to bed that night (and afterward), he would get in bed with me like it was his bed. I was also a little peeved that he removed all my artwork off the walls and replaced them with his paintings. And to be honest, I am not that crazy about his paintings. I need my own space, so now I am thinking of moving on and getting a small apartment somewhere in West Hollywood or the Atwater Village area.
