First of all, fuck all of you who have air conditioning, seriously. Fuck all of you. Second of all, ooh my God it’s going to be freezing-cold here in Blacksburg before long… today was kind of overcast, so when the sun was out it was hot but when the sun wasn’t out it was downright chilly all day! So that’s the weather from Blacksburg. Thirdly, Mika, what the fuck does it mean to look “ooh so Richmond”? Ooh, and there so are like a million Indie Hipsters up there, isn’t it ridiculous!? When I saw the Avett Brothers in Richmond the crowd was like 80% twenty-three year old Indie Hipsters. Ridiculous.
Things are starting to settle out, it’s interesting. I’m realizing that one advantage of not being really interested in pursuing a serious friendship with my roommate is that I really don’t have to be so worried about alienating her by making lots of tedious requests and demands regarding room etiquette (i.e. “Can you give me some serious heads-up when you’re out and you know that I, well, Reed and I are back at the room before you head back?”, “If the door is still locked when you get back, can you just cool your jets for a minute while we get stuff together?”, and “If, at that point, it’s late and we’re tired, can Reed just sleepover here, like all three of us in the room together?”).
I’m also realizing, as much as this sucks, that I do not seem to have a lot in common with the girls here :/. In some ways I’m glad, don’t get me wrong, because there all “Ooh my gosh, what should I wear to this party tonight?’’ and I get that, I get that they’re trying to meet guys and stuff, but… and even the ones who have boyfriends still dress like prostitutes and go out with out them and stuff, it sucks! I went to this party last night, met some people, drank some sketch punch out of a cooler, and promptly realized that Reed (who was with me) was way more fun to talk to than anyone there! Not that I really had a choice, to be honest… guys at parties don’t come up and talk to you when you’re standing there with another guy, like it’s ridiculous. I was standing around with the two girls who live across the hall from me (who both have boyfriends, mind you, though neither of them were there with them) and it was like I was invisible or something, like I was lucky if other guys bothered to introduce themselves to me. And obviously I couldn’t talk with any of the girls at the party because they were all busy being talked to by the guys! Sooo… I mean, it was fun, but it was fun because Reed was there to make it fun. The best friend I’ve made here so far is probably Reed’s roommate, V.J., and you’d hardly call us close… I’m really hoping the friend thing will just happen eventually, but I’m not gonna say I’m not concerned.
My room actually looks good now- we got a rug, put up some posters, got the fridge and T.V. and cable working (can’t say the same for the microwave or the iPod speakers/clock I have), and are starting to get rid of all the debris from moving in. So that’s cool… I might try to make my first batch of coffee this morning! Ooh, and I went and got groceries yesterday, so now I have plenty to eat. In fact, I’m kind of hogging up the fridge, but whatever… she got one that was too small anyway.
Today’s game-plan is basically to get textbooks, walk my classes, turn in my Pathways Planner (if you don’t know... let’s just say it was a really retarded and tedious assignment I had to do for the Honors College and leave it at that), find the gym, go to an Honors College meeting, go to a Residence Hall meeting, install my VTnet onto my computer, and… call the microwave company about our not-working microwave! So that’s what I’ll be up to… peace and love ladies, and also I wish you were here so I had friends :S/:P.
