I still don't really know if that's necessary yet.... (calling police). I mean, I've only lived here about a month, it IS a college dorm after all, and he might have simply gone to stay with someone for a while. Oh, and I read that story, and I suppose things could be a lot worse around here! 
No, I don't think there was any pizza in there; anyway, I've got half of a leftover one from a Tau Beta Pi meet-and-greet yesterday; I just downed some for breakfast (cold, of course.)

Has he been going to his classes? A week is a long time to just disappear..
He's only had like one class this summer (sociology or some no-brainer like that), and I haven't really been able to tell if he's gone or not. I think I saw a homework assignment once.
Dude it's summertime so the roommate is probly screwing off somewhere. Don't call the cops if you cant get in touch with him especially if there might be weed in your place no reason to get your roomie and possibly yourself in trouble. Instead call one of his buddies or his mom's house to check on him if your worried and let them deal with it if he is really missing..
My advice to you is to grab a trashbag and throw all that crap away, then hit everything with a spray of lysol. It will take 5 minutes and avoid everything stinking up. Then enjoy having the place to yourself for a while.

Talk to your RA or someone in charge at the dorm. They can decide whether to contact parents or whatever. Be sure to tell them about his drinking and drug use - this guy's in serious trouble, even if he is staying with a friend.
You've been doing nothing for eight days; it's time to get moving.

Well, I'm heading out for the weekend, so if he's not around by Monday afternoon, I'll check with an RA or something. I checked with campus security and they said I can't get in trouble for his alcohol (he's like 25 so that's not illegal, even though I'm 20), so I'm not worried about that. I imagine if he has drugs, he hides them pretty well or took them with him (can't let it go to waste, right?).
P.S. I haven't been doing nothing for two weeks.
It's been the busiest week yet of the year, with 15 engineering credits worth of homework and projects due last week and next... that's kind of kept my mind away from the dorm, especially since it's been so nice and quiet (and clean since I cleaned everything!)Originally posted by: CadetLee

From what I can see, doing homework, cleaning the apartment and posting on ATOT take first priority.

Look, you cared enough to start this thread, so you already know something's not quite right. Don't wait until Monday - tell them before you go.

No, I don't know his or her cell phone number(s).
I agree it's strange; I shouldn't have mentioned the blanket thing.... that just got everyone started on the "lasagna" thing. I guess that's just the kind of thing that happens when you're drunk (I wouldn't know, but I'm definitely never going to drink alcohol).
This is the first time I've ever had problems with a room mate, so I really just don't know what to do or if I should do anything. I really wouldn't be concerned if he doesn't act so strangely; I mean, it's summer and he's a grown "man" after all, so why should I worry where he goes and what he does, provided it's not illegal and doesn't destroy the room or anything?
But, just to show you another reason why I'm concerned:
The other day he was making hamburger helper and asked if I wanted some; I said "sure," why not - no cooking that afternoon sounded good to me. So, we were hanging out in the kitchen and he was joking around about whatever, and I joined in (he claimed to be a "serious joker," and I said I can be also). Anyway, then he started talking about how he apparently used to mix feces in with hamburger when he lived with his parents so they would all get sick and have to go to the hospital; he called it some made-up-sounding disorder where one wants to inflict pain on themselves (or a related disorder where you inflict pain on others) in order to get attention. So anyway, I was like, yeah, he's joking...
Anyway, he then said he'd mixed a good amount of feces into the hamburger helper he was making. I was like "heh, right..." and he was like yeah, I'm joking. Anyway, he took some off on a plate to his room and put some on a plate for me. Before he closed his door, he was like "I wasn't joking about the feces in the hamburger helper." I was just thinking ok, he's kind of wierd (no surprise there!) and started eating (and surfing AT, probably). About 10 minutes or so later, he came out of his room and started puking horribly into the toilet. He came out into the kitchen and was like, "Boy, those feces sure were fast-acting." He retched a few times and spit stuff into the garbage can and disappeared back into his room. At that point, I quietly stopped eating the stuff, not really sure why he was throwing up. I'm pretty sure he was joking about the feces, and was just not doing to well trying to eat solid food (as you can see by his room, he seems to live on a liquid diet more or less, mostly alcohol). I was fine, though, after being nervous the rest of the evening, but I finished off the hamburger helper the next day. I think that was about the last time I saw him, besides maybe once for a while where he was looking for his cell phone the next day or something.
So there; I don't really want to tell these stories about him to anyone I know, so here it is, anonomously.

and WHY wouldn't you have your roommate's cell #? did he ever call you?
also, do you know any of his other friends, or family? would the college have his cell # on record?
i gotta say you aren't putting much effort forward to find out where he is. i'll cut to the chase, tell us, anonymously of course, where did you hide his body?

I'm not much into phones (they usually bug me, and I don't have a cell phone), and I don't know any of his family (came in blind a month ago for the spr/smr semester).
What would I say to an RA, anyway: "I haven't seen my room mate for a week; I'm worried about him" ? I mean... besides personal concerns about him, I don't see a legit reason to go to anyone.

When I was in college dorms all the RA's were cool as hell. But seriously the dude is 25 and if he was really missing somebody who knows him better would have noticed and the cops would have found you by now.

Why is it so hard to go to your RA and tell them that your roommate has been missing for a week? If something has happened to him, one of the first people they're going to start asking questions of is you and why you didn't feel it necessary to report him missing.
Telling the RA would take all of 5 minutes. Just do it for goodness sake.
Telling the RA would take all of 5 minutes. Just do it for goodness sake.
I guess I would just mention it to the RA.... "hey, I haven't seen my roomate in 8 days". Is that a giant bottle of Febreze on the left? I doubt even a whole bottle would cover up the stink of old beer.
OP, did you check to see if he is in that trunk?
