So I am just pissed off today, mainly at my roomies (Actually exclusively at my roomies). One was in the shower for like forever this morning, all of them basically attacked me today for my political ideals and the fact that I am “worldly”, and now my roomie refuses to go to the hospital while his hand has so much edema that it looks like he was stung by an obese bee.
So first piss me off story. I wake up at 7:10 every morning to take a shower. I am a creature of habit and I fit it into the other roomies schedules… I should be the only one near the bathroom at that time. I woke up around 6:30 to hear the shower go on and I went back to bed, and then at 7:10 I went out to the hallway and the shower was still on. D. was in the shower and he always takes forever in there. I waited for the water to turn off, which happened ten minutes later, and then after five minutes of drying off the shower turned on again. “Bitch NO!” I went into the bathroom and threw him out. We had no hot water.
Second piss me off story. I came home and J. and D. were singing annoying songs from “Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat” and I put up with that for an hour, and then they started to talk about Sodom and Gomorrha. I have very libertarian views and so they wanted to ask me why homosexuals think that they belong in Christianity, and how they can deny the story of S&G as proof that they are sinners. So I went about telling them what I understood of the flaws of the story (and all the other things in the bible that people use to condemn homosexuality) and I was told that I was worldly and that I just can’t understand things like they can because they have been in the temple. So I was irked because that seems to be their end-all conversation line with me because they can’t stand against me most times. Then I was asked to not use the term “orgo” to describe organic chemistry because it sounds naughty… “Why? Because it sounds like orgy? Or orgasm?” They freaked out that I said orgasm (because orgasms are evil things) and basically said that I do not regard sex with the sacred-ity that it deserves. “Well you know that you can’t procreate without orgasm… it is the precursor to ejaculation, like u need to orgasm, so I don’t think that it is such a bad thing. Women don’t necessarily need to orgasm to procreate but… come on… give em’ something to talk about.” They weren’t too keen on that. So then we talked about the soul, and J. said that it was proven scientifically that the soul weights something. I told him, “Well in one experiment, ONE run showed that at the time of death, the body becomes lighter, but it has only worked that one time.” I put my two cents in that souls are like energy and you can’t weight energy, but he said that souls are matter, and so are thoughts and faith. I was somewhat confused because faith and thoughts are concepts… There is no weight to thoughts or else our heads would be dragging on the sidewalk by the time we turned 14. The reason why I can’t understand how thoughts, faith, and souls are matter? It’s because I haven’t gone to the temple. Bullcrap. I know exactly what goes on in the temple (my previous therapist gave me the manuscript of what goes on in there, and she basically told me everything that is there…)
And my other roomie sprained his hand yesterday, resulting in massive edema of his wrists and I urged him to go to the hospital. Will he go? No. Because he doesn’t believe in using medicine. So he is just going to let this tumor grow on his hand like an idiot. He says it hurts, but yet he still refuses to take anything for it and it is driving me insane. If you are going to complain about something, then be willing to get help for it. If you just want to complain, shut up… unless it is on a blog (I know I am a total hypocrite)
Last thing, I found that my blog is connected to the “Mormon Blogosphere” thingy. I just want to know who has connected me to that site, because my blog is not about my religion but about me. I’m not very religious either. I go to church, and I hold a calling but that is it. So maybe that is why I am listed under the controversial section, but still I would rather not be associated with that site because religion is not much to me other than a tool that shaped who I am, and will always be a part of me, but never who I am as a whole.
Pisses me off.

Sounds like you need to have an apt mtg and set some ground rules for everybody, e.g. length of showers, basic respect in conversations, etc. Your roommates sound very immature despite their claims and experiences. You'll keep running into stuff like this unless you have some leverage to get them to police themselves, or at least make them feel guilty when they behave like this.
I was told that I was worldly and that I just can’t understand things like they can because they have been in the temple.
Well, I've been in the temple (probably more times than all of them put together), and I've been married for fourteen and a half years, and I've had sex more times than I can even begin to count, and I'm gay.
So I probably understand all of this even better than they do, and I think they sound like bigoted, sexually repressed idiots. Or like average ultra-Mormons, which is saying nearly the same thing.
(And yes, I agree with Alan that all of this sounds very immature, and that some clear rules need to be outlined.)
So I hope the showerer kept the door cracked per the Guidelines. AND i agree with the shut your piehole rule. The whole point of not using medical intervention is to bear it. And in order to offically bear it, one must do so without complaint, or it doesnt count.
And for the record: people who are not religious do not "hold callings." Thats one of the phrases that are familiar only to mormons. The rest of the world giggles to themselves and say "CALLINGS??? "Why The Face?"
In real Christianity (the monotheism kind) the calling comes straight to the individual, without being filtered thru the bureaucracy of self-appointed judgemental old white men.
Food for thought, dear.
Wow that's why I don't go to the Y, and most guys there are so sheltered from the real world. OMG they would die if they knew the truth about you. April fools is coming up bring a boy home.
