So, right now, the first (to my knowledge) planned get together at our new place is underway.  We've had visitors and stuff, but this is the first time were going to have visitors, plus dinner, plus some planned social activity (games, card games), plus all us roomies.

It'll be cool and fun, but I hope there are not too many of these. theres only so much loud fun I can handle at such proximity to where I live (as in in my bedroom).  Its a couple weeks before finals though, and I don't have any other pending deadlines this month, so it's all good.

for tonight though, its enough for me to be vicariously satisified through my roomie that at least shes got a guy to do stuffs with. As long as its not too much gatherings and social times at our place. ;p Or if it is, that its not too loud so that i can be more efficiently antisocial when i need to be. ;p

new chapter cliche

Today i signed a lease to room with three of my newer friends. Whats special about this is that I don't think I will have anything at all to hide from them. They know of my weird "personal preferences," my tendency to be depressed, and a little bit about my family problems back home. I think I will feel "at home" with them, as much as I can with anyone.. maybe even comfortable in my own skin for the first time in a long time.

They are also oddballs in their own way, each of them different. But I think from what we understand of each other we accept each other despite our quirks, and its possible that its the first time any of us has been in a living situation with people who knew us for who we were (at least in breadth, if not depth).

One young son is also coming with us. To keep us out of trouble. :)

I am optimistic about this. I think they are too. :)
