I am upset with people today.

Now as much as I generally prefer to be diplomatic rather than confrontational- especially when either way means bringing up a grievance with someone and making it get changed, why start by being aggressive and making them inclined to do it just to bother you when you could be subtle instead? Granted, my subtelty needs work and doesn't always turn out which sometimes forces the issue- right now I'm simply unhappy. I'm supposed to be practicing being bolder, more direct. Working forward. Planning and assertiveness/aggressiveness, since those typically seem to be my weak points if any. The issue here is that I can't really.

Because I'm very unhappy with Tabi's roommates.

Yesterday and now today they've made a lot of noise partying it up while she was trying to study or sleep, enough to make it impossible. But how does one deal with this? I know she won't want to since she has to live with them and so far they seem to be petty about things like that, and have generally been rude and inconvenienced her and her roommate, and even antagonized them for imaginary grievances. I REALLY want to lay a piece of my mind into these girls, even though I'd rather just kick them out so Tabi could have some piece. But how do you go about organizing a strong argument for this sort of thing? How do you anticipate people who know no logic?

Tabi is really good at debate, where as I'm not so much. Makes me wonder if I could learn some tips from her.

It's a skill that couldn't hurt.

And I can think of a lot of uses for being a strong force in an argument just now.
