Yes, I am. Why ask?

I'm with buff on this. Don't ever, EVER ignore someone who seems determined to fuck with you. She might find an effective way to do so. Definitely document her behavior as regards her harassment of you. As long as she keeps fucking around, contact your RA on a semi-regular basis about it, enough to make sure she's in the loop, but not enough to make a nuisance out of yourself. Writing to the head of housing is good, but if you have the RA backing you, it's better. And don't write to the head of housing often, make it look like you tried to work with the RA first. It'll make that bitch look extra shifty that you had to go through "such lengths" to deal with her.
tl:dr CRUSH her.

My roommate came with her friends while I was trying to take a nap and started screaming (to god knows who outside the room) and moving furniture. After about 20 minutes of talking unrealistically loudly I asked them to whisper but they yelled at me "OMG WE NEED TO CLEAN THIS ROOM". O_o.
Chronicled to my RA.
Sigh.

I was in the kitchen cooking kimchi, tuna and rice when I noticed my roommate carting her luggage off to somewhere. Fingers crossed!

I never liked that food combo! ughOriginally Posted by Sapphire

Those tastes just don't jibe with me. I know plenty of people that like it, but not me. It reminds me of cat food.
Huh? She doesn't want to play anymore? lol, wonder if the RA had words with her.

I get a unique, "highly disturbed" feeling after reading a very good book.
Does anyone else?

I can't say, since I haven't read what I would consider "a really good book" in a while. I've been reading classics and I have a hard time seeing why they are classics, though they may have appealed to people at a certain time and place in history that no longer resembles our own... kind of like the Constitution.
I did thoroughly enjoy "Catch 22", but wasn't disturbed by it.

Sapphi needs to describe the feeling more before we can compare. I understand emotional, but not disturbed.

I imagine it's like after reading 1984 by George Orwell. That book left me quite disturbed for our future.
Other books like Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World are also supposed to be shocking and a forewarning, but the stories in both leave you with a ray of hope at the end (sorry if spoilers). But not 1984. That book leaves you with a definite feeling of mental disquiet.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I would understand that feeling, yeah. For me though, that relates more to subject matter.
Harry Potter is arguably good (or LOTR for something of a higher literary level), yet their disturbance is largely absent. I was left wondering if Sapphi got weird reactions from anything well written.

What if, in movies, every time someone ordered someone else to "get down!", that second person broke into a spirited dance?

What was it about Crysis 2 specifically that made it such a big disappointment? I just got it and have played through maybe 1/10th of it... so far it's a cool game. Kind of easy on normal difficulty since you can take a lot of damage before dying. But with the HD texture pack and DX11 update, it looks amazing. Not sure why so many people speak poorly of it.

You are an internet service provider and a customer has just logged a fault. They are complaining that their internet connectivity is experiencing issues. On your form you requested that they provide you with a contact phone number, and they have provided their mobile number in response.
Let me remind you again that the customer is experiencing internet connectivity issues.
Why the hell do you send them instructions via email? (and ask them to call you back after they've completed it?)
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
If a customer can fill a form in the internets, it tells the ISP immediately the customer can also read their emails from the internets. Quite simple, really. The customer should call their problem report line in the first place and talk to the robot until they are connected to the technical assistance.
Ah. Yet the ability to access the internet to lodge a fault doesn't translate to having timely or regular access for notifications.
The first thing I did was ring up the helpdesk with my home phone. The crackles made everything incomprehensible.
The next thing I did was ring up the helpdesk on my mobile. It told me that I was 12th in line. I had $6 credit left on my phone.
Then I submitted the form painstakingly on my slow mobile internet.
Note: the favourite thing they like to do to test for line integrity is to do a "line test" by asking you to disconnect all appliances that may be connected to the phone sockets. In a previous fault that I launched with them, they asked me to unplug everything so they can perform this test. I waited hours for them to contact me after the test. They had sent me an email relatively soon after the previous phone call that they had completed the test, made adjustments and that I should monitor the line.
It's certainly not an isolated incident where the operator or system tried to follow your above logic Kraco.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Well, yeah, which brings us to the second truth of the matter: If the ISP had enough employees to actually call you back instead of someone spending 10 seconds to send you an email, they should according to the modern business logic lay off some of their staff to be able to pay higher dividends to the shareholders.
Either way, you as a customer are screwed.
