Also, to clarify a few issues regarding this post:
1. Russian culture is very different from the American one.
2. This is a huge house, it would be very easy for people to come and go without passing anywhere near my room.
Therefore, in summation, I am not nearly as immature, as this post might initially have you believe.

I think some of us, Scriber, (particularly my mother) might be a tad too "young at heart".

If you lived alone, you would have less time to write because of all the chores. I know.
You've won contest #1 in my blog. Your prize is in. There's an update for contest #2. Thanks so much for your participation.

You'd install it.
It should have a sliding serrated mechanism like a CLUB or other steering wheel brake lock.
How long are you intending on living there, btw?

It's cool, Cesium, I can just delete the error.
Who would install that thing, though?

I might try it, Cesium.
My grandmother used to do that because she feared the landlord was coming into her house (when she was asleep) and stealing stuff.

At some point over the summer, Rcky, I plan to readdress the issue.
Because my relationship with my mother is currently at it's alltime peak.

But Mademoiselle....You're looking for attention in your undies...
Or so it would seem....Call me old-fashioned, but you don't strip down so men can gawk even if you are in mom's house. Aren't you embarrassed?

How about installing a new lock on your bedroom door? That would solve the probelm! BTW, I enjoy your writings, you are humorous and have a very good way with words!

What is it about cats and computer keyboards?
I had a Siamese, a very vocal little bastard, named PITA --Pain In The Ass -- and if I was on the computer, he, like your pet puma, would wander in, yowl piteously, use my ankles for scratching posts, then leap heavily onto the keyboard, rendering whatever I was working on an unintelligible wreck, or worse,turning an innocuous instant message into a bizarre -- probably anatomically impossible -- sexual advance.

welll.....a lock on the door is gonna get you writing in peace..
....cheap fast and easy....I like the stripped down wirting approach too...and then you never need to answer the door if someone interrupts because by the time your're reasonably decent, they're gone.....so keep typing....oh and perhjaps you need some ear plugs too to block the cat.,..or put it out when you put your mother out....

Okay, Mademoiselle..Sexy to write in undies...but not in front of mom's men
If you had your own place, you could even write in the buff....but just a little advice, cover up when men come into the house...I mean, come on....

Be careful what you wish for...
I've lived alone for too long...talk about eerie!!! No one to spend Thanksgiving or Christmas with. No one to 'disturb your thinking'...It's much too quiet.
Though family can sometimes be annoying, they're a wonderful thing to have. (Your cat sounds funny! Mine's a little wierd too.)
