<p>Or you just want a canopy bed...but building a box around your bed is NOT the solution.</p>
<p>since I cant use any kind of nails, only sticky tack (and only certian brands too), sheets wouldnt be an option unless I suspended them via a frame that i made that didnt invlove any walls.</p>
<p>I've considered doing something where there is a 2' by 3' structure at each end, and sliding doors that covered only the bed, that slid back so that they competely opened up and its a matter of sliding them to shut it.</p>
<p>....I've got lots of ideas, eventually I'll figure out which one will work best.</p>
<p>also, about the canopy, I have to use the schools bed frame, which isnt a canopy, so again, it would have to be a free standing frame that went around it.</p>
<p>haha *** is wrong with you people</p>
<p>I actually did something similar in sophomore year of high school, but my idea was less complicated. I used wardrobes to separate my area and his. The poor guy thought there was something wrong with him (in fact, there was not-- I was just territorial) and asked the dorm parent to negotiate with me.. I think the entire floor overanalyzed the situation a bit. I happily restored everything back to its original place. I was partially at fault for moving stuff around without his permission, but he did that to me all the time (and my immature mind thought that doing the same thing back was OK).</p>
<p>I love the way you described your plan in detail and have all these people react to it :)</p>
<p>if he/she really thinks I'm psychotic for wanting some privacy, I'll just have it set up like a bunkbed: bed in the center, 2 by 3 by 5' units at each end, overhead roof, and sliding doors on the outside that will remain open 90% of the time...I'll submit a picture of that tommorrow</p>
<p>I can't imagine what you do in that box that requires such exclusive privacy</p>
<p>So you're saying that if you didn't have the option of a single room, you wouldn't try to make the best of it?</p>
<p>Like I said....if it creeps the person out that much, I'll leave the goddamn thing open!</p>
<p>Yes, that's what I'm saying. Even if you left it open, it's just not normal and would make most people wonder what your problem was.</p>
<p>I don't mean to laugh, but I think this (conversation) is very funny.
sanluis, I think your plan should be a last resort. You should try to get along with your roommate first.</p>
<p>no... aside from family status they dont ask us questions or have us fill out a questionaire...so theres no telling</p>
<p>And, you're saying that because I try to be strategic and smart as to how I organize my stuff, I'm not normal? ***? Its not going to be enough for this person that A. they get to use the other 3/4 of the room, and decorate it however B. I dont give a f.uck about how many people the person has over, how loud they are, etc</p>
<p>"I can constantly see what she is doing, and I'll be all over her s.hit if something comes up missing or moved around"</p>
<p>I don't think you wanting privacy is such a bad thing but you seem to be very suspicious/territorial/paranoid of your future roommate.</p>
<p>You should give her a chance before you automatically assume she is going to steal/touch/use your things. She is not the enemy, she is your roommate.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's not so much your need to privacy that makes you weird. It's how you go to such elaborate lengths and seem to have a condition like paranoia. </p>
<p>So are those other photos on flikr where you live? No wonder you like your privacy, that place is in the middle of nowheresville.</p>
<p>I think this desire is somewhat odd, but as a person you might be very normal.</p>
<p>We all have our strange quirks...I wouldn't want to get off on the wrong foot with my roommate immediately is all. The problem is not so much that she will think you are crazy. Like I said everyone knows people have quirks. If I were her I might take it personally, though, and be a little hurt...like maybe there was something wrong with me that you wanted to blockade yourself like I had a disease. <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>you know, you can always masturbate in the shower. youre probably used to doing that in your bed though, so i can see why you'd want privacy there. oh well.</p>
<p>So you criticize other people for thinking you're weird for doing this, but you think your roommate's going to steal all your stuff and you'd go through her stuff in a second if you so much as misplace a sock? I never touched my roommate's stuff and she never touched mine, and I would be kind of offended if she was so thoroughly mistrust-ful of me she felt the need to lock up all of her belongings when she wasn't around.</p>
<p>(edit: This site is absolutely ridiculous with the word filters. Really. Are we not (mostly) adults?)</p>
<p>Get A Single. Wow....are you related to David Blaine??</p>
<p>This idea is simply crazy. The more I think about it, the more I think this is a joke.</p>
<p>Why can't you just see what kind of person your roommate is first before you freak out about having your stuff stolen??</p>
<p>And if you were my roommate, I don't think I would mind the 3/4 room stuff, but I would still think that you're crazy and that there is something wrong with me that you want to live in a box.</p>
<p>Here's an idea: use your desk to separate your and your roommate's areas...this works especially well if your desk comes with a shelving unit on top.</p>
<p>Are we just going to keep thinking up crazy solutions for this kid's absurd idea? Sigh, I guess so. Now I'm going to go watch a fly unwittingly trap itself between my shower doors.</p>
