@Omega: The AUP has always said 13, but the age-18 thing has been one of the "at moderator's discretion" type decisions for a while.

On the subject of age AUP stuff, I think its always been 13. For some reason everyone thinks its 18. I thought it was 18 too until recently when one of the mods pointed it out I think.

SO yea, birth days going good so far, I had to bike down to the bank and the store to get some stuff, although I biked to the store first like an idiot, biked back to the bank, got may monay, and then went back to the store. Where I purchased a pinapple and light bulb for my dad, because its his birth day too. Actually, I still need to get a stuffed monkey and an gift card to go with it, but w/e. I know all the cashiers at the store because I work there, and they were really puzzled by my odds and ends.

And oh, last night all my friends got drunk at a party I didnt attend. Wonderful. horrible things occured.

Hey guys,

Well, I woke up just 3 hours after I went to sleep and I noticed that people have repeatedly taken advantage of me or believing I am some pushover.

I woke up to find out that my roommate is causing me alot of trouble on my second day of knowing him. I wake up to discover that my entire desk and floor is wet with urine (my mouse pad and mouse are damaged with the liquid). I know he was a obsessed alcoholic from day 1, since he and his friends had a drinking party at our apartment. It didn't bother me much then, as long as I didn't get bothered. However, that is not lasting very long.

Here I am, sitting in front of my laptop, cleaning his urine due to his incapability to realize this current reality from over consumption of alcohol.

I've had a problem with my first roommate on my first year of college too. He was a gang member who shoplifted a ton of rubbish he didn't need, and never once cared about how loud he was being at 2 in the morning, or how he was using my property when I wasn't around. I've gotten the feeling people are really pushing me around in my life, and I sometimes actually want to kill these people for what they have done to my life. And I'm not kidding, I really want to kill these people. It might seem like a stretch to most people, but after what I've gone through I really don't see it a surprise for me to go to Juvi after next week.

I dunno, I thought this thread would be a way for me to project my current feelings, though if you guys have any advice I could take, that'd help me alot at the moment. I'm kinda sick of people pushing me around in my life, I just really want to end it. And please no stupid posts, I'm looking for genuine help at the moment.

Report the guy. If he's peeing all over your stuff, press charges. have him sent to rehab or something.

What did I say about stupid post's? Rehab is not a option, however reporting him to our residence master would be. I could get him kicked out and moved into his own place, which naturally would be good.

I'd have a real hard chat with him. No point in ignoring it, or the very opposite, like murder.
If you feel this is a person of actions and not words, pee all over his stuff.

umm... I fail to see how that is a stupid post...
Why is rehab not an option? It'd get him away from you...
But yeah, reporting him would be the first thing I'd do. Well, second maybe. Depending on what type of guy this is, I'd have a talk with him, like grandma said. If you don't think talking will do you any good, go straight to the powers that be and get him booted out of there.

I'm sure you meant that jokingly, but still. That would only hurt Matuka more than help him. Right now, Matuka is an innocent victim. If he were to get revenge on this guy, he'd be at fault, too.

I know how you feel, Matuka, but I don't think people push me over THAT much. Although, I still thought about killing those people when they were doing what they did so in your case, I can understand the temptation. But whatever you do, DON'T KILL THEM! Just take the most extreme measures you can take without causing physical harm to them.

Do what Omega said and report the drunk. And if he permanently damaged some of your stuff, there might be some legal actions you can take to get it replaced.


My 2 cents.

Oh, and don't let anyone hear you actually say that you want to kill this guy. They'll take that as a direct threat on this guy. even if you're just venting and talking without any actual intention to ACTUALLY hurt him, they can suspend you, expel you, maybe even send you to jail.

I was half-joking. Now, peeing on people's stuff is a bit far, but I would personally not let anyone go that easily. I myself have been pushed around a lot trough life so now there's a zero-tolerance rule in effect. Maybe I shouldn't give advice...

I can understand a zero tolerance rule, and in some cases that's a very good policy to have. but in a situation like this, I believe it would only end up getting Matuka in trouble and possibly ruining his chances of getting this guy booted out.

Pull a mean prank on him, like do the surran wrap infront of the door while hes out at a party, so when he comes back in all drunk, he'll walk right into the surran wrap, and being drunk, will not be able to figure it out.

THEN have a talk with him. The prank is just to show your not screwing around, but that you do have a sense of humor and arnt just being a stickler.

It seems the consensus is to report him, with the possibility of doing something to show him you mean business.

Hmm. Learn to stick up for yourself?

Hell dont get me wrong, i get crap all the time, the only thing that stops me decking the next one is that tiny little filter in my head, saying wait till the end of the year.

Id rather my education over a last stand victory. On the flipside i did pick one up and pin him to the wall, i have never seen someone so scared in my life, i dropped him when i realised what i was doing. He didnt come in for a week. I tend to keep it under control. Yes, itpersonifies my rage as a thing not a action...

Some serious stuff hiding my closet.

Good enough for you?

Nah, it's a rule of thumb not to use the same kind of attack the enemy use on you. I'm sure it won't do much damage. Maybe something electric?

A mercy cry on deaf ears,
She visits me again, so sweet, so tender.
Her whim is my infatuation, midnight is our meeting.
She's bolder now, her power waines during the shadow day, but she is still thier, still watching. A bolder move, she came to me in the day. I felt her whisper in my ear, it was a nice break from the rigmaroll of day life. I found new insperation on BlooDRight, so writing will not be be a problem.

Sleep but for now,
Listing leasily under moonlight shine,

-Laz
