SUBJECT 1.  I seem to be having a really difficult personal problem I have been trying my best to resolve.  I am having a great deal of trouble in getting used to the sounds.  Some of these sounds are very unsettling, distracting, intrusive, annoying and leading to being very irritated, which has a very strong influence on my tone of voice and interaction abilities.

I see an individual that is supposed to be coming across somewhat as representing a female.  What comes out is a deep male voice.  The voice is coarse.  The voice is very rough and somewhat gravelly, gritty and a bit gruff at times.  This is very disconcerting to my sensitivities.

When conversing they will not let you finish what you are trying to say.  There seems to be an immediate need to jump in, interrupt, talking right over the top of you and then ramble on and on and on and on in one continuous constant stream.  No pause or break to offer a reply or comment.  Many of the words seem to be just fillers that can be best left out – unsaid.  The subject is frequently changed.  The content is usually a lengthy dissertation or very long lecture (sometimes approaching sermonizing) all about themselves – their exploits.  Many are repeated over and over again ego oozing out of each sentence.

The fact that someone talks to themselves is not a big issue, but when they are very loud it becomes distracting and bothersome reaching the point of being obnoxious, annoying, and irritating (which has a very definite effect on tone of voice in responding to the audible intrusion).  Other audible intrusions to cover up, are moaning, groaning, gnashing, snorting, grinding, wheezing, and complaining.

These are my feelings that I am trying my best to address.  Feelings are nonsensical, illogical, no rhyme or reason, and cannot be helped – they just are.  I can avoid these feelings, I can bury these feelings, I can cover up these feelings or I can deal with these feelings.

The solution that I have presently come up with, so far, are to use earplugs, headphones, operation of a motor, such as a fan, and/or closing doors to muffle or cover up to screen out sounds.  I do not feel that it is mandatory for me to talk to them or them to me.  I do not feel that it is mandatory for me to listen to them or them to me.  I do not feel that it is mandatory for me to have anything to do with them or them with me.  Any dealings between will go through the Master.  They should also.

SUBJECT 2.  I would like to respectfully request that I be relieved from washing the dishes, running the dishwasher, tidying up the kitchen, and maintaining the refrigerator.  It was mentioned that there was a desire to turn the kitchen over to the new roommates.  Would you please start that assignment right away.  Please consider including the duty of picking up and cleaning up the kitchen, being responsible for making sure the cooking equipment, tools and supplies, and dishes are kept clean (also the running of the dishwasher in a timely, efficient, and economical manner).

The person(s) running the kitchen would best be the individuals to take on these responsibilities as they should know where everything is at and rely on themselves to make sure everything is where and how they want them to be.

I would ask to still continue the privilege of performing the coffee, vitamin, and orange (when available) routine in the mornings.

SUBJECT 3.  Other observations that may or may not be of any importance:
The wearing of the cloth underpants creates extreme embarrassment by any onlooker who happens to be exposed to a dangling log.  Tight, elastic stretch underwear with some kind of panty liner or other contour control shaper would smooth out and help hide the droopy log look.

The skirts waistband is worn way to high up under the breasts.  That fashion is called an empire waist and should be reserved for those designs.  Such a high waist makes the wearer seem and look way too much like a nerdy pantywaist and tends to draw way too much of the wrong kind of attention.

I have not heard or seen any evidence of any efforts toward doing anything about these subjects.  No reading or studying.  No practicing or learning any lessons, routines, classes, or appointments.  I have not heard or seen any indications or efforts toward modifying diet, exercises, routines, supplements, or anything else that would demonstrate any effort toward any real goal or actual changes.
