Adjusting…slowly
Yeah, so this adjusting to sharing a bedroom thing is a little bit tricky.
Sarah and I are sharing a full-sized air mattress, a bedroom, a closet, a car, and a bathroom. I can deal with everything else, but the bed thing is kind of tricky. Especially since you can't make even the smallest movement without the air mattress broadcasting it...sigh. I'm thinking of getting my own air mattress (when I have the money), just to simplify things.
Also, I seriously need to get another job. 20 hours a week is just NOT going to pay the rent, the payments for the car that I need to be getting soon, and all the other expenses that go along with paying your own way in the world. I'm thinking of applying to the fast-food chicken place that's down the street...then I can walk to work.
And I'm going to have to come up with a good nickname for my other roommate. I guess I'll call him...chefman. It's stupid, but it'll work. He's been really, really nice to me, and I totally don't deserve it, so I've been making an effort to be nice to him.
I feel like a TOTAL sponge right now. I'll be a lot happier when I can start paying rent (I get paid today... woohoo!).
Also, got some e-mails from various people. My high school Latin teacher was cool about it, as I thought she would be. A couple of my "friends" from church wrote to me, and a couple haven't responded yet...
Muse (her nickname), wrote a really, really sad diary entry about me. But she also wrote me a fairly nice e-mail. My old pastor (he's only middle-aged, but he's not my pastor anymore), wants to get together with me. I've consented to a phone call. I'm a bit ambivalent about it, but we'll see what happens, I suppose.
Hey, I should probably change my profile, shouldn't I?
Yup. No more closeted mothball-chewing for me! Yay!
Anyway, I'll say goodbye now. Sorry I haven't updated much. The library only lets me have 30 minutes at a time unless nobody else is waiting.
