I'm running on fumes and they smell like revenge

I'm actually suprisingly not tired... knock on wood. Hope that holds out cause I have a test at 5:00 today! I should probably be studying... but this is productive too, right?

So The Mitz is a bitch. Who is The Mitz, you ask? My highly unpleasant roommate here at Georgetown University. Now first off, let me say, I knew this was gonna be a loathsome relationship from her first e-mail which had about 5 smiley faces. Perky people just really aren't my style. The Mitz is from TX and speaks "Spanglish." Sometimes when she's on the phone, she throws in a word or two of Spanish, and when I asked her if she was fluent she said kinda, that what they speak is more like Spanglish (her words, I swear). So one evening, I'm sitting there doing a crossword puzzle and I can't remember the Spanish word for "nap." I know I know it, but I can't think of it, so, begrudgingly, I ask The Mitz. She doesn't know. As I'm asking it comes to me: siesta! How could I forget those witty hs Spanish club t-shirts: No time to siesta, lifes a fiesta! Anyway. I say oh wait, it's siesta isn't it? She says no. I drop it because I don't like talking to her and I know I'm right. You must be getting how much I don't like her if I didn't argue with her when I knew I was right (hi, that's like my favorite thing ever!). She proceeds to call a friend who informs her I am correct. WIN.

None of that was at all the point of this, but I guess I had some additional ranting to get off my chest? Anyways The Mitz talks VERY loudly on the phone all the time, gets up super early and wakes me up, gets her make up on everything, has stink-nasty perfume and makes offhand bitchy little comments. (thought you'd like some background... but let's get to the point, last night.

Last night I went down stairs to boil some noodles. We only have two burners that work and as I'm filling my pot I see her scurry to start something on BOTH burners. So I say, "are you gonna use both of those?" And she says "yes, and it'll probably be like 30 minutes at least." Hm. I think this through and I'm like "well hey, mine is only gonna take 10 minutes, so I can make it real fast?" She says no. WHAT THE FUCK. That is rude. First, we only have 2 burners so I don't think you're entitled to tie them both up when someone else wants to use one. Second, you're clearly not eating any time soon, I want to and could! So I went to my room where I begin stewing.

I'm just not one of those people who gets over things or forgives people and whatnot. love me or leave me, but if you piss me off you will pay. So I launched my first offensive last night. The Mitz comes in and we do not speak, but I have started a movie. Conveniently, my headphones don't work with my laptop (really, they don't), so she gets to listen to me watch Clear and Present Danger while she does her hw. She could've gone downstairs, so maybe it wasn't bothering her that much. Bummer. Then it occurs to me, action movies are only loud sometimes and primarily at the end... but you know what's loud all the time? musicals. So when she returns from her shower I have started Victor, Victoria (excellent film btw). The Mitz gets in bed and tries to turn off the light, normally she asks, but not last night, don't worry I informed her I had reading to do and needed it on. She looked doubtfully at my laptop/movie, but what's she gonna say? So the Mitz tosses and turns with the light on and Victor beltin' out showtunes. Thank you Julie Andrews.

Side effects of this are, I didn't go to sleep til 2ish and I didn't study. But that's the price you pay to teach someone a lesson :)

p.s. The Mitz's real name is Mitzi and don't ask her if it's a nickname, it's not and she'll tell you that all huffy-like and then shoot back "what would it be short for?" Btw, Mitzerella is not an acceptable response. But come on, surely she is aware that Mitzi is much more believable as a nickname, or honestly, a dog's name. really. "this is Mitzi, my pomeranian" or "this is my new baby Mitzi" - you know the first is more plausible.
