What the fuck? Shannon "doesn't feel comfortable" sleeping in the same room as me?

Oh well. At least we've arranged that since our troubles stem from stuff that they should have sorted out in the questionnaire that they made us fill out, and since there are a couple people on third floor who have the same problem, we're going to arrange a switch in a week or two. Whenever they allow us to put in for it. I like my first floor room and my carpet but I'd be the one moving, as all the really heavy bulky stuff (TV, microwave, shelves that hold the TV and microwave, and fridge) are hers. 'Course, if we go through with this, there'd be another Jessica on the first floor (that'd make 4, two of whom are roommates) and I'd be rooming with a Beth.

At least JP apologized for the note. Not even she understands it. I still don't like it. It was still extremely rude, especially considering that I was crying too.

Beyond our circadian problems, we have another problem that's twofold. We can't bring it up to the housing people but it's caused about as much trouble. First part of the problem is that Shannon's the type who expects everybody to kiss her ass. Second part is that I refuse.

Let me guess... they saw you as being liberal, quiet, bookish, and preferring early nights when you filled out the questionnaire - and so immediately decided your ideal roomie would be a noisy night owl who never studies and is so diametrically opposite to you that not only do you want to kill each other, but she commits a major social faux pas every time she opens her mouth?
How many Jessicas does that place need? It's almost as bad as Recess and the Ashleys...

Oh, and one of my ex-roomies didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the same room as me. For some bizarre reason, he thought I was a predatory homosexual.
The actual reason he put on his request-for-reallocation form was something along the lines of, "He's one of those creepy gay dudes, I think he wants to fuck me up the ass while I'm asleep."
Another of the people I lived with - big Romanian guy, built like the offspring of Michael Jordan and a linebacker - thought I was a vampire, just because he never saw me eat or sleep. Big deal; I had insomnia, I kept my own hours, I went out for a lot of walks. I really don't think it justified his hanging garlic everywhere, and his attempt to stake me with a wooden spoon while extremely stoned.

So, here's to Lizzy's New Roomie! You know, if it wasn't such a killer commute, I could offer you a room off campus...

:( I'm sorry Centre was such a dipshit with choosing your roommate. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer 'til you can switch.

Beth Dunston? She's pretty cool as far as I can tell. Indeed.

I must run to Bio now...

It's a pity you two can't be roomies.
Actually, that's possibly a bad idea...

"You know, we really should be revising for our midterms..."
"Yeah, but let's watch the Babylon 5 marathon first!"

Net result: happy Lizzy, lots of hours of classic TV watched, but probably very bad for the GPA.

:) Perhaps next year. The only problem I have with my roommate...is that she gets phone calls at midnight and stays in the room, which I'm trying to sleep, and talks on the phone. I usually tolerate it for about an hour and then basically tell her to go outside or get off the phone so I can sleep.

I'm not so into Babylon 5, so I'd skip out on it. Doesn't mean I'd do work tho either. I'd probably get on the computer and chat instead. >_

stupid typos. I need to be able to edit. It should've been, "while I'm trying to sleep"

You sound as bad as me, chatting when you should be working :-P
If you think your roomie is bad, be glad you didn't have one of mine, whose more disturbing habits included having sex while I was in the room - and not just when I was asleep, either.

So what's more your thing than B5 - Enterprise, Quantum Leap, DS9, Farscape..?

Nah, I know my roomie isn't bad at all. I just wish people would have their conversations in private...because I really don't care to hear them. If I don't want to hear it, that means I have to leave the room, and I do...I'm just too lazy to go any farther than the hallway haha.

I like Star Trek okay. I'm definitely a QL kind of person, though I haven't seen it in a while. I used to watch Sliders all the time and the X-Files kick bootay. I like Law & Order, too (even tho that's a different genre). I cannot stand Farscape. I really cannot get into it at all.

I've been watching a lot of junk tv lately, tho...like the makeover shows and stuff. It's really sad.

If I could actually remember when they're on, I'd watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy everyday.

And my god, that is a terrible thing to have to go through >_< Didn't your roommate warn you somehow? Like put a "Do not disturb - I'm studying!" sign on the door handle? See...that would at least be considerate. If Melissa ever has a sig. other in the room, I think I'll get the hell out. That's a freaking awkward situation I like to avoid. Thus far into college, tho, I don't think either of us have to worry about the other bringing anyone home...

Nope, no warnings. He'd just bring his partner-of-the-night (or on a couple of occasions, partners) in, whether I was studying or cleaning or sleeping or veg'ing out with a trashy movie, or whatever.
I feel scarred for life now. On the other hand, while that guy was bad for my mental health, at least I could wear earplugs and shut out the worst of it. I had to get military-grade ear defenders to cope with the other guy, the DJ - Happy Henry Hardcore. He brought girls back to pose, and managed to get slapped with EPA "Statutory Noise Nuisance" notices at regular intervals. Even with ear defenders, it was like trying to sleep in Hiroshima after the Enola Gay flew over...

I'm lucky we didn't have bunks. If we did, I would've taken the top one and kept a bottle of water handy for dousing the flames of passion. Nothing says "Shut the fuck up and take your hormones outside!" like an angry roomie giving you a drenching.
