"Yeah, Whatever."

Last night I came home, drank a couple of beers, ate some sweet & sour chicken, watched two and a half television shows and decided to go to bed early. It was about 8:30. Shah, the roommate to my north, was having his girlfriend over and making food. As I was walking to my bed, he asks me, "hey, would you do me a favor?" Ok, that phrasing really, really, annoys me. The favor would have been to watch his rice for 15 minutes while he went to go pick up his girlfriend. When I told him that I was going to sleep, he looked at his watch and said something stupid. I don't think he believed me. The point is, that if I were in the kitchen doing something else, it might not have been an issue. As it was, I was heading to bed early to make up for years of lost sleep. After him being indignant I told him that if he set a timer and I heard it I would turn off the rice. Then I went to bed.

No longer than 10 minutes later I was sleeping. I dropped right off. I could potentially have slept for 11 full hours in my completely dark room and then have been to work at 9:30 after a nice breakfast. He brought his shrieky girlfriend home, who I'm sure is a nice girl, but proceeded to babble things that he was really obviously uninterested in. Her voice would pause occasionally and then she would issue in a very pronounced high voice frequently punctuated with breathing giggles a new string (and they were amazingly long) of words to describe some generalization about one of her roommates and how they behaved around guys or something. That's one example of a topic. I know it seems like I'm being really demanding asking that people be quiet at 9 so that I can get sleep, but the fact is that I can actually sleep with a moderate amount of noise. A television, music, a movie, even music or television that I don't like or with laugh tracks that are too loud don't usually prevent me from getting to sleep.

They were being genuinely loud. I politely asked if they could "shut the fuck up" a while after another roommate suggested they try to be quieter since I was trying to sleep. The offending roommate's response to that was "yeah, whatever." Truly, sometimes I'm bastardly, but I'm coming to the realization that I genuinely have experienced different things and maybe am a different 'type' of person than these people. What's more, the rent for me is 600 + extra utilities because we live in a commercial space. It's not at all worth what I get.

It's time to start looking for a studio. I don't think I'll have money to move though until maybe early January.

The leaves are being taken off of the trees by the wind today. Yesterday it was or was very close to 80F and today I think it's 70. A friend is coming to visit and I'm glad they'll be given some warm weather.

I have been trying to shave everyday, but all I get is razorburn.
