Again, it seems like I use this journal for nothing but complaining, but if I don't write certain things out, it just bottles up and leads to mental breakdown. And I can't write this in my other journal on deviantArt because then my so-called friends will just say I'm acting like a baby even though I have to sit through their whining and complaining every single day.
Anyway, I recently made the best/worst decision of my life. The good part of it was signing up for a single room in the dorms next year. No roommate = a much saner me. I'm not the kind of person who was ever meant to have a roommate. By the end of the year, even if I like the person, I want to rip her head right clean off and maybe dance in her blood. No, I'm not a violent person, but I'm not very tolerant of "annoying". I personally have no backbone, so I'll never call someone out on it, but in my head I'm basically chanting "shut up, shut up, shut up!"
Now, here comes the bad part. Originally, my current roommate said to me "Let's sign up for single rooms and be suitemates!" which sounded like a good idea. At the time. And then comes the complications. We have a mutual friend, but I can only stand so much of this friend at any given time. Once again, it's a matter of "annoying", double it so when my roommate and friend get together. It's like a black hole of information. I'll be sitting there with them at dinner, and we'll be having a discussion. Then, I'll go back up to the room and roommate will go hang out with friend for awhile. Then, she'll come back up to the room and start talking about things the friend said, the very same things said while I was sitting RIGHT THERE, and act like I wasn't there at all and that this is the first time I've heard any of that. And guess what, it's not the second time I've heard it, either. Sometimes it's the third, or even fourth time I've heard this information.
Anyway, now the plans have changed, without consulting me at all, and friend is going to be moving in with roommate.
Oh god, I can hear it now. Me, trying to study/sleep/anything else, them, together, loud, giggling, and then trying to drag me to things I don't want to go to (did I mention my roommate has a habit of wanting to run everybody else's lives?)
And then they have the gall to suggest to me "moving all the beds into one room" so that we can have a "super suite".
They have to be absolutely crazy to even think that I, the ONLY ONE paying EXTRA MONEY for a SINGLE ROOM, would even possibly WANT to give up the single room, still PAY FOR A SINGLE ROOM, and live with not one, but TWO people? (Two people that I can barely stand for more than a few hours at a time?) That's the whole reason I wanted a single room was so that I didn't have to live with ANYBODY anymore. I politely told them "No." Although what I really wanted to say was "No @#$&-ing way", but I'm not usually a vulgar person, at least not out loud.
I can only comfort myself with the knowledge that once I have my own room, I can watch TV again. (I can't watch tv in the room because my roommate talks through everything... I can't STAND tv-talkers. They're both like that, roommie and friend)
On a different note, but just as rant-ish:
One of my other friends, who doesn't go to my college, was asking me if anything had happened on campus after the Virginia Tech thing and said it was surprising when I said no. That really rubbed me the wrong way. I have nothing but the utmost sympathy for the students of Virginia Tech and their families, but come on. Just because some psycho decides to take his anger out on a classroom of people, that doesn't automatically mean something's going to happen here. I think taking that mentality is really detrimental. If I took that mentality, I'd think to myself "Oh my god, now somebody here is going to snap and we're all going to die!" and then lock myself in my room, and when it doesn't happen, it'll be too late because I'll have missed all my final exams and failed a semester of college.
She tried to counter me by saying that violence in schools increases after a shooting like that, and tried to back it up by saying "there've been bomb threats in other schools..."
Yeah, there's always bomb threats, we just never hear about them UNTIL there's a shooting like that. Virginia Tech itself received several bomb threats, but we didn't hear about it until after the shooting. My high school had about a bomb threat a year, but we were never on the news.
I'm sorry, I just think it's repulsive to assume that copy cats are going to take the opportunity to strike. I refuse to live my life in fear. -

How come I don't like either of the videos that are up for Best Video of the Year?
I don't know, I don't really like the look of "all digital" artwork. I might have liked Karas better if it wasn't so... digital. There's a lot of movies I'd like better if they didn't look so digital.
I think the VCAs are one big popularity contest anyway, so it doesn't really matter much to me... -

Yay! Avatar! Because Avatar rocks like that, you all know it...
I had an idea for an Avatar video, too... I just need to get around to actually getting some footage, and then get the time to actually do a video... (It would be a Zuko video, because Zuko rocks, even if he did something totally dumbass in the season finale... I want third season, darnit!) -

This is why I don't watch tv with my roommate. She talks through EVERYTHING. My god, wait until a commercial! >.<
I was supposed to watch the Oscars with my brother, but his plane got delayed due to weather, so I ended up staying in the dorm room, and as soon as my roommate came back, she started chattering and I want to kill her. Not really. But a little. Maybe just wound her.
