With every breath I wish your body will be broken again...

[newfireseachday]

So the past few days have been pretty good, if by pretty good you mean that people eavesdrop, form their own (false)assumptions, and tell everyone wrong information because they think they're doing something good. If anyone is actually interested in knowing the TRUTH, they are more than welcome to read on

-Regarding your argument(s) with Jess Foley at the party, I was not present at the time, but according to what I heard from everyone else the next morning, she was being reasonably quiet, while you were loud and obnoxious, and playing a guitar of all things. Again, I was not personally there, but according to everyone I talked to the next day, she was definitely much less of a problem than you were.
-The second party: "Anyone who's not a jerk is invited" That was in regard to our tendency to bring "the jerk" to the past couple parties we've been to. If you don't know who we're referring to, it's none of your business, but rest assured that it's no one in Oak. If you didn't consider yourselves jerks, then the away message invited you. Simple, isn't it?
-Your final analogy is quite flawed. Us smoking wouldn't hurt one of your friends, nor would you feel a duty to inform security. A more accurate version would be if Jess and I were sitting in the room, and I said "Haha, wouldn't it be funny if we made a marijuana tincture, and had Megan spray it on Pam's stuff? She would be so pissed about that, and might get in trouble with security!" Would you talk to us about it? Maybe, maybe not. Would you tell Pam about it, regardless of whether we were kidding or not? I am certain. (Note: We would not talk about such things, even in jest, because it could very easily be taken the wrong way and create huge problems.)
I suppose it is good that this all happened at the end of the year, as even if it doesn't get resolved, we have a few months to let it blow over. I believe that anyone on the floor, myself included, will be more than willing to talk to you about this in greater detail, in whichever medium you desire, preferably face to face.

Perhaps talking would be good, Jim - because, while I am not venturing to say that your (you and the rest of the hall) opinions are entirely wrong, I will say that they are completly based on assumptions, misconceptions, and misunderstandings.

In regard to Megan, MY roommate, you put it best: "True, we don't have to live with her," you said, and therefore you are unable to understand what living with her is truly like. Lately, things have actually been quite a bit better here than they have been in the past, as far as my living conditions are concerned (but of course, because of your actions, I now have to deal with shit from her friends, as well). However, it seems that she simply does not understand things that are considered common sense to most people (leaving rotting food in the garbage causes a room to smell, smoking marijuana in the room multiple times causes the entire hall to stink, talking undly on the phone at three in the morning wakes people up, and leaving burning appliances plugged in starts fires). So, yes, I intentionally left her straightening iron plugged in. Seeing as I was here nearly the entire time, I wasn't especially worried that anything would be set on fire since nothing flamable was touching the appliance or surrounding area. I though that maybe if she was able to recognize the damaging results of her actions, that such behavior would cease.

Furthermore, we are perfectly capable of not sitting next to each other at meals, and we have done so many times. We have never gone with you, as a group, and chosen to sit elsewhere do to the lack of seats side by side. Never. However, when we are not invited and later show up at a meal to see everyone eating together, I honestly don't feel like sitting with you, whether or not Ian and I can sit next to each other. I don't feel like joining a group of people who obviously did not care enough to invite me in the first place.

Had our presence been desired at that party that Ian mentioned, we could have been notified that it was even happening. Yes, I read three away messages that told me a party was going on in Kevin's room, but why should I have assumed I was invited? Obviously, as with the situation mentioned above, I am very frequently *not* invited to things that the rest of the hall is welcome to. Granted, I was not on campus the majority of the day, but there are many ways I could have been contacted if I was invited to this party. What gave me more reason to believe that I was not invited was the fact that we saw Jess and Dana more than once, and they both seemed to be very watchful of their words (or lack thereof) in order not to let on that they were partying.

PS: If you really want we'll tell you who the specific jerk is, because honestly it was not and was never either of you
