anger and tears

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, and I just noticed it today, that it happened to me. Today was going to be a good day. I was going to wake up, give blood, go shopping, and have fun with my roommates. Instead, I slept in, got woken up by my brother yelling at the door and did give blood and go shopping. The only problem is, the fun was gone. It's like, only I only have fun shopping, and my roommates just get it over with. Now, we weren't buying anything particularly fun (cutting boards and tolilot paper just aren't that exciting), but I like going to Wal*Mart, just to go and look, and if I get to spend money, well that's part of the fun. The problem came in when I got home. On the way home, one of my roommates mentioned she used my bed and desk to set up her computer/monitor since her desk died this morning at 6 am. I had said that's okay. But, the minute I step into my room, I actually see it, and it registers, and she has her computer, her tablet, and a textbook on my bed, and it sinks it. She actually was sitting on my bed. Now, I normally don't care too much about people using my things (if they ask), but they didn't ask. And I like my bed. A lot. I use it for homework, relaxing, reading, and, of course, sleeping. It's like my personal space in a college world where you get no personal space. So, I mentioned that it would be nice that next time, they should ask. Now, my roommate is paying for her own phone, and she has a cell phone where she pays per minute. She said that it would cost her minutes, which I completely understand. So, I picked up our apartment phone, and said "you could use this". Now, when I said this, I was upset. I felt like someone had invaded my personal privacy, and I realize that I wasn't being fair, but I was asking to be told in future, and just got upset. Things were said that probably neither one of us meant, and I stormed off to my room. I pulled out my laptop, fuming, and opened up iTunes. I was making a new play list, then the next think I knew I was close to tears. I had gone from angry to crying in less time then it took to write this down. Am I the only one this happens too? I don't get mad very often, but when I do, it's not very pretty. And then I burst into tears. Hopefully tonight will be better. Oh. and I moved. and I'm surviving.

A Jane Austin Moment

:: L I Z Z Y :: You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of silliness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.
I am Elizabeth Bennet!
