Feng Shui

What happens sweet becomes sour? Do you sit around and hope that it becomes what it was before? Or do you become one with it and fight it back?
It is 5:41 in the morning. I have been woken up three times by a somewhat drunken roommate. She came into the room at 2:35 A.M. and instead of coming in quite and lite she was the complete opposite. She brought in a guy, who has a very booming voice, and food. So, she turns on the lights and has a full on conversation with whoever is trying to get into her pants. Then she announces that she another guy wants her to come up stairs. She leaves and I go to sleep. 3:15 she comes in the room to get her cancer sticks and leaves slamming the door. Again I am plagued to find sleep again. At 3:30 ish her and sonic boom friend come in and she starts undoing his pants and he begs her for something. (I think he was asking for her to wear something "sexy" because she kept refusing and he kept asking.) Any who, he keeps telling her he wont go to bed until she gets it. At this point I am so a wake I could run a marathon. At this point I did what any other person would do, I confronted her. I turned on the light and said "Syd, this isnt cool. I have been woken up three times and I have to work tomorrow. When are you going to bed?" What does she say? "Do you want me to turn the light off?" At that point I was done. I had aggravated the guy because he made some lie to tell my roommate and left. (It was funny to see how Frat guys really do fit the stereotype. Earlier when they were in the room he told her he was sorry for talking to another girl, but then he proceeded to say he didnt want a relationship. So why was he here in the dark with his pants off? My goodness people are dumb.) After leaving my roommate got into her bed and "fell asleep". I say this because its 5:55 A.M. and there is no heavy breathing or snoring. I havent been able to sleep and so I am keeping her up. I have washed my face, went to the bathroom three times (slamming the door), I am doing laundry, and I have the TV on. I figure it is because of her that I am awake and she should be too.
I guess I am so mad because I feel walked on like a door mat. I have never been disrespectful to her or her unannounced guests, at any time. If I have she would have said something. Even before she left tonight I curled her hair for her. I always ask if I am disrupting her when I have the TV or the radio. I even let her print off my printer and I havent even charged her. You know how much it costs to print 50 pages with a ink jet printer. Lets put it this way, I spend $21 and some tax for every ink cartage I buy and I have bought three since January. Yeah I am pretty pissed off.
Tomorrow is a new day. Well, I mean today. I am changing the set up of my room. I change it so everything I have is in my own little cubicle. My TV, that she likes to watch my seasons of Sex and the City, will be setup so only I can see it. My vacuum that she uses will be only on my side of the room. Also, the printer will be off limits as I set it up to were she has to get through my crap to use it. Thus, I will be able to tell whether or not she used it.
Yeah, this might seem extreme, but its been coming. If she can tell her booming friend that I Always have food and make fun of me for speaking my mind at 3:30ish the morning then I can move my stuff where I like. Frankly, after her begging me to live with her next year I now understand she wants me like she wants her mommy. So, now my laundry is done and I need to switch it to the dryer. Night! (Slamming of door)

  1. OMG.....so sorry darlin that she is so self-centered. Good for you for telling her. AND, I don't see a problem with telling her to please not use any of your stuff (vaccuum, printer, etc) since she can't respect you enough to give you common curtesy. OR you just take the ink jet out and hide it! HA!
    Sometimes roomates really suck... I'm here is you need to talk! Slam the door a few more times for me!!!! Love you!
