i've had the not-so-great roommate issue a few times, one of which involved a huge fight that we never recovered from. i've learned that sometimes friends make the worst roommates, that you can be friends with someone (or at least think you are) and just not be able to live with them. it's also important to realize that some people just aren't aware of the way their actions or lack thereof affect others. in my experience, these people make shitty roommates, but you can't always tell in advance i guess. i don't think you're wrong in being annoyed at your roommate, but if you let yourself get irritated at everything she does you're going to end up driving yourself crazy. if she's that frustrating, she's not worth it. the issues you are describing aren't necessarily big enough deals to bring up individually, but be careful to not let them build up such that you have a big to-do. those suck, and they are also extremely difficult to move on from. one thing to comfort yourself with, they won't be your roommate forever :)
by the way, your actions aren't not nice! they all start out with good intentions, so it's all good :) just try to stay positive...
