We spare no expense in the construction of a narrative which may be extravagant and unlikely.
So I got a new order of BPAL imps today and I realized I was kind of behind on them. So I counted them out and found that I had TWENTY FIVE that I hadn't reviewed. Then I found that six of those were ones I HAD reviewed and I just hadn't posted on LJ. Here you go. :)
These were written in August of 2010, or thereabouts.
Why is this? Because her parents submitted a roommate transfer request. Because of my sleep habits. Because she has epilepsy and needs 8 hours of sleep and I stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning.
Don't get me wrong; I am not at all offended or angered by their reasoning. Their reasoning is completely sound and I do not question it in the slightest.
My offense stems from the fact that they did all this without talking to me about it. Without finding out if I were going to be willing to negotiate, compromise, or make concessions for the sake of her health.
I would have been more than happy to do so. I would have been DELIGHTED to help--in any way that I could--to keep her healthy and happy. She needs to sleep? Not a problem; the dorm lounge is a mere two doors down the hall! I have a nomadic laptop for a reason! Even if I didn't leave the room, I am generally quiet and I only need a small desk lamp to study.
In short, even if she asked me to clear out so she could sleep EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, I would have done so without question or hesitation, ESPECIALLY since her continued health and well-being was on the line. I would have done so HAPPILY.But they just assumed that I was going to be a huge bitch about it.
I am only vaguely offended. However, I do kind of want to demand satisfaction on the field of honor, partly because I have always wanted to do that. I am just frustrated; it isn't the first time they've thought ill of me--did I mention that I haven't even met them yet?--and based on what my now-former-roommate told me about her family's religious beliefs, I am not entirely certain that she didn't relay to them some of what I told her about myself. I am not convinced this was not an excuse to get her with a more morally-acceptable roommate who doesn't have daring and sassy religious beliefs and premarital sex.
