OK I’m going to rant about my roommate because… well because he just pisses me off so here goes. His name I will not deign to utter here for it would defile this wonderful site, but I will do my best to describe him. He’s not very tall, has bright red hair, and constantly looks and acts like he’s drugged up on something. He’s of the opinion that not showering will increase his hormones and thus attract women to him, resulting in the fact that he has this god-awful stench that permeates everything in the room. On top of that, he soaks his retainer in the same vinegar every night and leaves it out all day so the entire room smells like vinegar mingled with his stench. He leaves his clothing everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE! There’s dirty boxers on the dresser, in front of the door. Dirty shirts strewn all over the place and more. I can’t open the one drawer I’ve claimed in the dresser because all of his clothing is hanging down in front of it. Another thing about this guy, he’s touchy. And I don’t mean like friendly joking around with someone you know touchy, I mean like try to give complete stranger a back rub when they make a complaining kind of comment touchy. My friend and I must have told this guy at least fifty times each that we don’t like to be patted on the back, sat on, shoulder rubbed, or grabbed, and he still doesn’t get it. Now it gets interesting. This guy has to be one of the most computer illiterate people I know. He’s claimed that his computer is possessed and writes back to him in text editors, and that a hacker has specifically targeted his computer from the other 2,000 comps at the school. This got so bad that he changed his email address, deleted AIM from his computer (but didn’t delete his account), and has decided that he will not plug his laptop into the network for the rest of god knows when to “throw off the scent.” And speaking of his laptop… I feel sorry for that piece of machinery. It has to be the most abused computer in the history of time. All he does on it is feed it viruses by going to porn sites, download\bad flash animations, and play minesweeper. Ah minesweeper. We’ve come to one of the worst parts. You know how when some people play a video game, and they die repeatedly in one spot, and then they swear at the game? Well this guy swears when he loses at minesweeper. And I know, you’re probably thinking, “Oh that’s not so bad,” but you’d be wrong. Cause he doesn’t just swear quietly oh no. The first time he did this he wasn’t even playing, he was watching me, and when I lost, “MOTHER FUCKING BASTARD WHY”D YOU MAKE HIM LOSE!” right in my ear. I nearly jumped through the ceiling. And that brings me to another thing. This guy watches. No, watching isn’t the right word. He leers over my shoulder no matter what I’m doing at the comp. The only times he isn’t leering are when I’m either writing, doing homework, or when he’s out of the room. Course he only leaves the room to go to parties so the only relief I get is on Friday and Saturday nights between eleven and midnight. And when he gets back it’s time for twenty questions. I could be lying in bed, already apparently sleeping, and he’ll barge into the room and start asking me about the most random things in the world. These questions all have an ulterior motive of course. Every line of questioning, no matter how innocently it starts, always ends in the same place. Sex. That’s all this guy thinks about and every question is heading towards that topic. Of course no matter how many times I tell him I don’t care, and that I’m trying to sleep, he insists on continuing and describing his activities. For instance, he came in drunk on Saturday night after having a single beer (yeah I know what you’re thinking, he’s a lightweight alright) and started complaining about how he’d been rubbing up against this one girl all night and the entire time she refused to dance with him. Gee I wonder why? And then he goes on to say that this is the second week in a row that he’s been trying to get some and nothing. Here I am, trying to write something or other that’s been bouncing around in my head for a week, and he comes in complaining in his drunken slurred speech about the stubbornness of women. Then the best part of that night was when the conversation somehow got around to vampires. Don’t ask me how this came up, but before I know it, I find myself the target of questions regarding vampiric beauty, sex habbits, and family life. Of course I have no idea about any of it, but if I don’t answer he gets belligerent and starts kicking things, and I don’t really feel like replacing the thousands of dollars worth of technology I have sitting on my desk. Now this has been fun, and I’m sure at least some of you are shuddering in sympathy with me, but if you’ll excuse me, I have to go tell him to talk about illicit drinking over the phone in his own closet, rather than stinking up mine. Ciao.
