I like to think that I am reasonably good-humored.  I have a pretty thick skin, most times--I can take nearly any amount of ribbing, jokes, people poking fun at me, etc.  My own humor is often self-deprecating, so I don't mind when others join in.
However, as I am very sensitive to my own concepts of honor, this means that when the troubles extend to my own personal property, I tend not to have such a thick skin.  "Typical schoolboy pranks" don't much amuse me, for whatever reason.  Call me stodgy; oh well.  It should have been made clear when I was not at all amused earlier today when I returned to find that my mattress had been flipped over on my bed.  The escalation and second incident was what caused me to react violently (embarrassingly, as I reflect).  Perhaps I overreacted a bit, but I'm going to sleep on it.
Good night.
(If this doesn't make too much sense to you, don't worry about it.  I haven't snapped.  I'm just a bit annoyed is all.)

aww...gavrich. But dude, whats the big deal about mattress flipping? and if you're living in a frat hoouse (its not my expertise but) perhaps that kind of thing is normal?
Keep up the good work.
