I've been collecting my writings from years gone by as I find them. Each time I move - now 5 times in the last 3 years - I find more scraps, loose sheets, etc. with my thoughts from various times in my life. I've decided to copy as many of them as I can here to try and keep from losing them again, and to share with the world. Please feel free to comment as thoughts occur to you. Either send them to trekker9er@yahoo.com or use the comment links here. Thanks, and Enjoy!

 Summer 1996 or 1997 - Dormroom Roommate Match Description


      The best description of me is that I am a people person. I make friends
easily and relate to others very well. I like doing things or going places
with others, and I like just talking with people. It is also pretty easy for me
to determine a person's mood, and be able to respond to it, without upsetting
or offending that person or myself. Even though this is my basic nature, I
still, like every person, need time to myself to be alone. I am very private
about my life in my room. Even my family and closest friends do not know what
I do or how I feel when I am alone in my room with my door closed. Every now
and then I need to be separated from the rest of humanity by four walls, a
roof, and a closed door. When I have my music on it is like a decompression
chamber just for me, and I like it that way. I definitely want at least one
roommate, but no more than three please. I am a very neat person, except for the
top of my desk where I keep everything that does not have a designated space.
I also like to be able to work in a quiet area where I can concentrate, but I
occasionally like to listen to music while I work. I do like to watch
television most evenings, especially Saturdays and Mondays when Star Trek: DS9 and
Star Trek: Voyager are shown, respectively. I don't talk on the phone very
often, but when I do it is usually for an hour, possibly more. I also keep
myself busy with many activities which could keep me popping in and out at all
times of the day. I do not like shopping often, only when I need or want
something specific. Even though, I am not a late night person. I try to be in bed
between ten-thirty and eleven-thirty every night, by twelve on Fridays and
Saturdays. I am also NOT a morning person. When I wake up, I like it to be dark
and very quiet. My family goes out of its way to make sure I am left alone for
five to ten minutes after I wake up (usually by sleeping later than I do),
and I do not allow anyone to speak to me for twenty minutes after I wake up.
Occasionally someone will say something to me if there is a good or important
reason, but I still become annoyed with that person. For this reason I am
asking, May I please have a dorm that has a sitting room and separate bedrooms for
my roommate(s) and myself?
      All I would like in a roommate is someone who I can be good friends with
and do things with, but who will leave me alone when I want to be alone. She
should not be perky or enthusiastic in the mornings nor should she stay up to
all hours of the night (unless a paper is due, of course). My roommate should
also be able to tolerate my obsession with Star Trek, and all related fields,
and my love for science fiction.
