International Man of Mystery
Well its been a different sort of experience living alone again. Of course, every single day up through last weekend I've still seen Jen, either coming by to get something or just walking by on a walk. But I remember the mixed blessing that was living alone previously - it allowed me to do anything I wanted and the freedom was amazing. But, as it also turned out, when I lived alone I did absolutely nothing. It was the worst form of procrastination that I've ever experienced. I think that if I lived alone up here it *might* be different, but general costs of things including rent and bills... I thought it would be better to find a roommate again.
Of course, finding one posed a problem - everyone I knew up here already had their living situation figured out. So I had to post a room-in-apartment sort of thing and now, the situation is kind of uneasy. He's moving in tomorrow and I've still never even seen him - ever. I have no idea what he looks like or how he is. I have a lot of things in this apartment - expensive things, and again my roommate will have virtually nothing. He also hasn't even seen the apartment (still), and he's been up here for around a week now. People are different, apparently Jared's roommate was the same way.
Anyway, his name is Max and I'm not going to even try to say his last name. Despite the problems and some oddities of things, I haven't had any bad vibes about him and I'm trying to keep positive. When talking to him on the phone, we appeared to have a lot of the same interests. There were other pluses, too. For example, he's a cook - doesn't mean he'll cook for me but the potential is there. He likes camping and backpacking, so it means he won't be around all the time. In addition, he has a girlfriend which has several benefits. She'll probably be over every so often, shes attractive so it will be nice to have her around, she probably has a healthy group of friends and maybe I can find someone through her, and it again means that he won't always be around again.
Anyway it all goes down tomorrow, we'll see how things turn out. I hope things will all be ok for the next 9 months.
