What the fuck man, you're paying money to live there right? What's going on over there?Sent to bed at eight thirty tonight. Female housemate wanted to go to bed even earlier than usual, and since the house is old and creaks underfoot, I have to retire early lest the noise of myself moving around keeps her up. I feel like I should be in bed with the light off, with my head under the covers, reading Mercedes Lackey's talking horses by torchlight. The two hour nap that female housemate had this afternoon evidently didn't do its trick.
There's a lot about her that pisses me off, but being sent to bed each night like a primary school kid is really getting to me. At first I was willing to go along with it because you have to compromise and shit if you want to live with others, and I'm certainly not the easiest person to live with either, but before she came I used to have this whole evening routine worked out and that's all gone. Now I just get sent to bed, "Yes Mum, right away." Since the rats' cage is by my room I can sneak out and medicate them if any of them need to be drugged up, and she can't begrudge me going to the loo, but that's as much as I can get away with.
Female housemate gets up late, goes to sleep early, and naps during the day. If male housemate makes noise coming home of an early morning after nightshift, she'll take his head off. If I make noise during the night, she takes my head off. And I'm so fucking pussy whipped by now that when she says she's taking a nap, I slink into a corner and barely move until she's awake again.
There has to be a better way to live than this. This is a twenty six year old woman, not a six week old infant. We should not be held hostage to her sleeping patterns.
