<p>I’ve run out of things to do, and I need more suggestions.</p>
<p>In the bleary mists of the Siberian Desert,
There underneath the orchid skies,
Enduring the wailing cries of the mountain bullfrogs,
Waiting.</p>
<h1>2:</h1>
<p>drowning – in the flaming ocean, ablaze
With your vitality; the essence–
Of your being</p>
<p>Arise-- Oh! Like the evening mist, deliver
From the scorching drought; soothe–
… (you have the key!–</p>
<h1>3:</h1>
<p>When waters of a Flood
Again to their shores returned,
From foam of a leaving stream on land,
The potent vapor silently got out–
And was pervaded the land,
Dissolved therein forever…
And odd fellows still such are as
They inhale in a full breast this mix–
And thinking they breathe simply so,
They suddenly get in a harmony
Of the same rough breath…</p>
<h1>4:</h1>
<p>The stars do sing
At night,
Listen, oh!</p>
<p>Of misery? Of the universe–
In birthing…
It’s faint – listen, oh!</p>
<p>Oh star song – Never
Would I hear thee!
If not for roomie – ho!</p>
<p>As a rule, every time I get sexiled, I must write at least one poem. It happens pretty often, and for hours at a time, so I have a lot of opportunity to work on the craft.</p>
<p>As a side note, only the last poem was written during this last occasion.</p>
<p>As another side note, my roommate fell asleep this time and forgot to text me that he’s done… what do you guys think, does this justify buying and installing the Annoy a Tron when I leave to go home next weekend?</p>
<p>Naive question (from a dad): if someone does not like sexile - let’s say it is crimping your style like exotic things such as you want to go to sleep, or you want to do homework - then why not politely ask the roomie to not do the physical affection thing while he or she is on campus?</p>
<p>How would this play in the college culture?</p>
<p>My d actually has this issue for next yr . she just learned that the one she chose as a room mate now has a hot and heavy boyfriend, and she does not quite know how to tell this person that she is not comfortable with the sexile thing - the sleep and the HW things alluded to.</p>
<p>^ I don’t think anyone likes being sexiled, but as long as it’s not taken too far, it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s not like the sexile usually lasts for long, the hour you don’t get to spend in your room won’t kill you go to the library or something to study. Plus if you’re mean to your roomie about the sex thing, then what about when it’s your turn to get laid, and the other guy won’t leave the room? You have to be considerate about your roommates privacy, hogging the room 24/7 is kind of rude and a little weird.</p>
<p>…luckily i’m in a relationship with my roommate, so I don’t have to deal with this crap ;)</p>
<p>sxk - Buy it. Seriously. How awkward would that be during sex?</p>
<p>“What’s that beeping?”
“I don’t hear a beeping.”
-five minutes later-
“Seriously, what is beeping?”
“I have no idea.”
-three minutes-
“DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP.”</p>

Generally if someone is in a relationship they’ll just use the room when the roommate is not around. Sure the roommate may be sexiled occasionally but because it is a guaranteed thing and not just a fling the couple will usually be more open to working around people’s schedules. I’ve really only had a problem one time and in that case I just hung out with my friends and slept in one of their rooms for the night. Sure it is a minor inconvenience but if you have a good relationship with your roommate it’s not a big deal.</p>
