So...having my own apartment reminds me of random things I have always taken for granted from other housemates. Plants, for instance. And cooking pans. Graham's tea pot and Jackie's ridiculous supply of cleaning products. Also, and this is something I'm sure other people are more accustomed to than I, because Amanda comes to visit so oftena nd for so long, I have to think about her too. My shower, for instance, has no shelves so I had to buy a shower caddy so i would quit tripping over my shampoo and falling in the shower. And instead of buying the one-person cheap one I had to buy the two person (still cheap) one because I need to make sure she has room too. It's...an odd thing. To think about someone else as often as you think about yourself. Perhaps other people who have been in actual relationships know this better than I who has never quite been in a relationship before. But I still feel really proud when I remember to (like buying non-scented soap!) and then feel like such an ass when i forget to (like not having groceries around). It's a bizzare thing.

In other thoughts (and because I'm listening to MPR) I have heard all i can hear about the I-35W Bridge Collapse. Honestly. It is tragic but angry callers yelling at R.T. Ryback is not going to make anything better. Saying the bridge collapse is worse than Hurricane Katrina is not only wrong, it's steeped in a complacent racism and classism that perhaps is a natural reaction when you loose loved ones but is still unacceptable. And I am tired of the comparison. I should go turn MPR off...
