Sounds like you two are married and he's the guy.
Best of luck. It normally doesn't get any better. IMHO, many of these things you are angry about are trivial matters. Spoon on a wooden desk, summer sausage missing (its freaking 3 bucks for a mile of the stuff), some peanuts, etc. Sure, its annoying, but its not a big deal really. Just ask him to buy more when its gone.

Buck up and deal until you're ready to move out. Sounds like your roommate is inconsiderate, but no amount of consultation is going to change him. Get used to it or move out.

Nik,
I had similar problems with one of my roommates. He would always have people over and they would end up in my room or using my bathroom. I decided just to go buy a new door knob at Walmart that has a lock and key. Only cost $9.99 and took about two minutes to install. Needless to say they haven't been in my room since.

serious answers just confront him and if that doesnt work then what else is there to do besides changing the lock...
I honestly wouldn't know what to do either. At first, as I read, I thought you may be just a tad unsocial and overreacting to attempts (however poor) by him to make some sort of contact or relationship with you. That's what I thought at first. The rest of the post made it clear that you're probably accurate in your annoyance, and that he is to blame.
Using a nerd's computer without permission ....there is no greater unjustice.
I suggest getting a lock for your door. If he asks about it, tell him you've got important stuff in there and you want to make it as secure as possible. Maybe also hint that you like privacy sometimes. It sounds like your roomie is thick headed, and I doubt this would piss him off.

Move when the lease is up. I've had my share of bad roommates, and they don't ever change. Try to room with a good friend, someone you can respect and have something in common with. I did this my final 2 years in college and had it much better than when I roomed with someone I did not know beforehand.
I agree. First step is to sit his ass down and spell out everything you spent 20 min typing in that first post. Tell him to stay out of your food, beer, computer, etc unless you specifically give him permission. I had a roomie like him long ago who thought that permission on a given occasion = permission forever/whenever. Also, tell him to replace the stuff he trashed; pans aren't all that expensive, but they're not all that cheap either so tell him to pony up since he's the one who mangled them. Be firm, but not abusive and see if it gets you anywhere.
Why don't you just spare yourself all the agony and move in with her now? I know you're morally against cohabitaion prior to marriage, but it would kill about 10 birds with one stone.
Ahhh the joy of living by myself 
. My roommate was a cool guy though. Next time, room with a guy who clearly makes more money than you, so he won't want to use your stuff!

Ah, gotcha. That's too bad since it would really solve everything.
Anyway....what I said already. Talk to him. If that doesn't work, resort to a lock on your door and tell him why you're installing it.
