"Hoaky Religions and Ancient Weapons"

Do you want to know the real trouble with roommates? You don't really know someone until you live with them, right? Try not knowing them at all until you live with them. That was the major problem I had. The only contact I'd had with my roommate of last year was a few messages on Facebook and text messages on the phone and that was all. The only question I had asked him about himself was "Do you like Star Wars?" Not exactly smart on my part.

On first impression, he was nice, he seemed cool, he was the only person I knew... So the first few weeks, couple months really, went rather smoothly. Then started the crap... He would stay up until all hours of the night, knowing I didn't sleep well anyway. He would come in at 2 or 3 AM, not from drinking or anything, he didn't drink, but just from the lounge on our floor or from someone else's dorm room. And then he got a "girlfriend." To make a longish story short, I got sexiled... Activate word dex (also known as dictionary)...
Sexile: To exile someone from their own room while you copulate; to ask someone to leave their room so you can have sex.
Yep, ladies and gents, I got sexiled... That didn't last too long, though. Their "relationship" was over in a couple of weeks.

After that, the crap ceased.... until I started skyping with one of my good friends on a regular basis. He would but into conversations and be a complete ass to my friend for no other reason except to prove that he "wasn't really an ass." He would insult her, and it upset me more than her, I think, because he lacked the respect and decorum to act maturely. I think the only thing that he proved was that he really is an immature ass.

There were several other... problems I had with him, but nothing worth going into detail about. Just know that if you are ever to choose a roommate, choose carefully, get to know them first, and if you don't, prepare yourself to deal with the consequences of not.

There was one good thing that came of having this jackass as a roommate, though. I met the guy I'm rooming with NEXT year through him. Good stuff, right? I dunno what I'll post about next, but it'll be something interesting I can assure you!

Until then, good night, don't let the bed bugs bite, drive safe, and remember to always lift with your legs.
