It's not that bad having a roommate although I've been used to living alone since my first year in college. I had a set of roommates before but they didn't last for a month so it's like for my entire college life, I've been living all by myself in my dorm. It's either they wanted someplace else or they've formed a tiny group of friends to move in to a bigger house. They were actually trying to make me go with them but I couldn't cuz first, I had just moved in (them being my roommates for the first two weeks of the first semester of my freshman year), and second, my high school classmates and I were planning to move in to a single house, too.
It didn't bother me much that I was practically all alone in my dorm and a single room was all mine. It was quite nice, actually, for I got to do anything I wanted to do in there. Every crazy little thing. The only trouble that came up my mind occasionally was the fact that I should keep quiet at all times (ok, maybe not at all times but most of the time) or the people outside might think I've gone mad or something. This was freakin sad cuz when I read books and there were funny passages, I was inclined to suppress a hearty laugh. That was hard. Imagine a great laugh being suppressed and contained into a tiny little soundless smile? (Of course, it would look like you're smiling cuz there's no freakin sound in your freakin laugh..) Then there were these times when you just burst out expressions like, "Shut up, you stupid radio!" cuz the radio was playing annoying songs like those of Kyla, Nina, and Jennifer Lopez for example, or "Die!" cuz you've discovered that a lonesome mosquito had managed to get in your room, or "Get movin'," cuz you're in front of you're mirror persuading yourself to stop bumming around and do something significant instead, or "Good morning! You're awake! How are you?" cuz you'd been talking to your Froggy stuffed toy just to be able to share what's been happening to your life for your sanity's sake. Wouldn't that appear kind of creepy when you've been overheard saying things like that when everyone perfectly knew you're all alone?
The only thing I'm missing now is my private head quarter cuz I'm sharing it now with someone else.
