More roommate troubles
I have another roommate who isn't so fun to live with. The problem with her is that she is a gas. By this I mean that she expands to fill ALL available space. She is the only person in our apartment with a private bedroom. However, about a month ago she stopped sleeping in her room and started sleeping on the beanbag chair in our living room. She also has a hobby of watching TV REALLY loudly. This is annoying at many times, such as when at 7:45 AM my last minutes of sleep are ruined by the sound of the TV, or when at 11:00 PM I have to do my homework in the living room (because my roommate is alseep in my room) and I can't concentrate for the same reason. The worst, though, happened last night. Brandon and I were in the living room when she came home and put in a movie. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie we found out that it was about a sick old man who tries to make a porn film. Brandon and I got up and went into the kitchen, but that still wasn't far enough away. And the whole time I was thinking, "Why should I have to leave my own apartment? Doesn't she know that I don't have my own room, and even if I did, I couldn't go in there with Brandon? How can she feel justified in taking the only place that we can be and filling it with trash, especially if she has her own room?" Still, we left. One good thing about it was that it gave us something to unite against and talk about for an hour. If anyone expected me to get cold feet before my wedding, my roommates are sure making that impossible.

your roommate sounds weird, who would want to sleep on a beanbag chair.
Do your roommates read your blog? Is this a passive way of communicating with them?
Is she an only child???
no, no, and no.
And yeah I have no idea why anyone would sleep on that thing.
Well, it's time for someone to take charge and set some limits with her. How do your other roommates feel about this?
count the days whilst drawing skulls on the calendar. Make a voodoo doll... burn an effigy... all these things were suggestions a couple Haitians gave me once.
i know how you feel. my roommate has his own bedroom yet sleeps on the couch in the living room ALL the time. its so imposing! its a public area and a constant infringement on my privacy and i own this place! i tried hints and moving the furniture around. what do people need, a hammer over the head to get the message???
