Rightfully so, Nick was a little peeved when he watched tonight's Real World. Here's his side of the story, uncut...
The Shirt: “Sorry, I Only Date Blondes”
There's irony in me having and wearing this shirt -- a brunette I was dating at the time got it for me for a laugh. I PURPOSELY wore this shirt on my first day in the house to get a rise out of whomever lacked a sense of humor, and/or was close-minded and judgmental. So I guess it worked.
Late Night Guest:
We had to be home at 2am so no, I did not bring someone home at 3am. I did try to keep it down, but it was my first week... gimme an f'n break!!! We also had class the next day at 1pm… plenty of time to sleep before then. But then again, I guess when you need an hour-and-a-half to put on your face, maybe it's not enough time... I'm just saying... Lastly, IT'S THE REAL WORLD! Like, what the hell do you expect!? I don’t know about the rest of you, but it's not often I get to live in a phat crib in Hollywood having cameras follow me around. Sleep could wait till I was back home in NY, for now let's have some Real World fun.
Picture Incident:
Throughout my 6 ½ weeks in the house I always had my camera on me. I’m big on memories. My camera became like the “house camera” because even when I wasn’t taking pictures, someone was using it to capture a moment. The funniest moments came on those rough nights. From Kim's drunken Britney Spears impressions to my wobbly feet in Cancun (stay tuned for the crazy vacation), EVERYONE, including Sarah would check the pictures out for a laugh. Close to the end of the show everyone in the house requested a copy of my memory card. That night, all the boys called it in early and were in bed by 11pm. Around 2am we were all woken up by noise in house. Brittini comes to my room and says, “Sarah's drunk!” I said, “What? I gotta see this!” While Will and Dave were snapping pictures from outside the room, I figured this was a "moment," as I said in the show. Since EVERYONE got a laugh from everyone else’s drunken night pictures, including Sarah, I thought that she would get a kick out of this as well. WRONG! I forgot that when you think you're high and mighty, your're generally a hypocrite. Sarah, who would laugh at everyone else’s drunken moments on film, was too perfect to be seen this way. She flipped out at me for snapping a few flicks. I guess she forgot about the four cameras in the room and two camera teams capturing this as well. I should have been the least of her worries. Either way, I was really surprised how she blew up, but it confirmed a lot of things I had heard from the roommates from before.
What You Didn't See:
For weeks when the roomies would call Kim and Sarah out on their bitchy characteristics, behind-the-back sh*t talkin', I would be silent. As far as I was concerned, they had no reason to bad mouth me -- because I gave them no reason to bad mouth me. I was cool with them. Sarah even came to me on occasion to “get away” from Kim. The roomies warned me and told me of certain comments they made such as, “You're just like Greg,” which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but when you're vocal about not liking someone and then compare me to them, well that's pretty much sh*t talking. They always made comments to and about the girls I would meet and many assumptions were made about me as a person. I had tried on different occasions to get to know Kim and Sarah, from asking them out to lunch to even asking to tag along to the nail salon just so I could sit and talk one on one. Nothing worked. It was obvious to me that while everyone else in the house was there to complement each other's personalities, these two merely wanted to co-exist… if even that. They complained about being there every single day and acted as if they were placed there against their own will. So when she blew up at me that night, everything I had heard before went from speculation to fact. And it wasn’t the “Charles Barkley” comment that upset me -- it was the instance of then realizing that even though I never sh*t talked them, everything the roommates were saying was true. LOL I like Charles Barkley!
P.S. Just for the record, I’ve heard rapper NAS, Patriots' Rodney Harrison, and soccer player Thierry Henry French, but Charles Barkley is a first… are the only black people you're aware of NBA players from your own state???? Now isn’t that a shame.
