Nah, I can't do that. I like my roommates, and they deserve to have some sex every once in a while. And it's not their fault that our house is old and the very antithesis of soundproof.
I'm just cranky. I slept really badly last night (like, four hours with a post-nightmare waking every hour or so), had a tough day at clinical, and came home wanting nothing more than the apartment to myself for a while. Roommate came home shortly thereafter, of course. I think I might just cut my losses and go to bed now.
Edit: Aimee, you are cracking me up. Emily, I spent some time at craigslist before the despair became unmanageable and I moved instead to disinformation.com. Those are better--at least people there seem marginally literate--but still there are no sarcastic vegan pacifist goths to be found.
We could have impenetrable conversations
It sounds like impenetrableness is part of the problem.
Is there anything more demoralizing than browsing personal ads while overhearing one's roommate having sex?
Hey there, you can come over here - we are doing nothing at all, but we're not having sex. We are too tired for sex tonight. You can even use our computer while we nap in front of the TV or go to sleep. Or we can all snuggle on the couch.
Susan, all the best for your dad, and some calm to you.
Susan, much ma to your dad and your family (and peace for you).
I hope they can help your dad, Susan. Catching this sort of thing before it turns into a permanently debilitating stroke may well help.
Nora, you're the sweetest. Thank you so much for the offer. Though the offer of some quality Nora-and-Tom snuggle time on the couch is very, very tempting, I think I'm headed to bed. I'm pooped.
Susan, health~ma to your dad.
Susan, much health~ma for your dad.
Congratulations to Nora!
Glad you're feeling better sj.
Maria! I am sending warning vibes to the IRS as I type this. How awful -- they need to leave you alone right this very minute.
I know I'm missing stuff, but I'm tired, I skipped and skimmed, and I'm copyediting a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad manuscript that is making my eyes bleed.
