Hey, I'm Lara *shakes hand*
So. I really really really wish i could post this:
OMGUNISOFUCKINGAWESOMEZDRINKBOOZESEXCRAZYFUN!
However it seems that post will have to wait.
I've been here since saturday and have made a couple of friends in the form that i can stop and chat to for about 3 minutes. I suppose the year is young but it's still disheartening.
My flatmates:
Derek - American from colorado, nice lad, but as thick as two short planks and obsessed with cars.
"So Derek, what kind of music do you like?"
"Well... i quite like Fergie..."
"*facepalm*"
Carolina - German girl from Munich, very nice, sweet, sometimes gets flustered by english, doesn't really say much, Derek fancies the pants off her.
Adam - British guy from somewhere, looks and has the physical mannerisms of Wil, exactly. (picture to follow) However is very different, he is what Wil would have been had he not been corrupted by Craig (or is it the other way round? i can never tell) and the internet from a young age. Like i said, nice enough.
"So Adam, what about you, what are you into?"
"Well i like death metal.."
"Oh right"
"Well... i always say that but i don't like it that much... i just say it"
"Good to know"
I just realised i have no idea what other kind of stuff he likes, he's like a none person.
Japanese girl - Spoken to her once, it went like this:
"Hey there :)"
"Hi...*shuffles out*"
Roommate number 6 - Even their gender or existance was questionable until 2 mins ago when i saw her coming through the door. Seems older, i think international, smokes. All the info i have for now.
Now, don't get me wrong, these people are all nice, but i don't really get on with any of them properly. The amount of times we've gone out to a bar and there has been minute upon minute of silence...because we have nothing to talk about! I want to find people who make nerdy internet jokes, who know what i'm talking about when i make anchorman and shaun of the dead references, when i mention jeff buckey or some obscure band from the 70's. Now i know its my first week and i shouldn't be expecting to just find a really good group of friends but i see people out or hanging out in there flat and the look ... happy? and i haven't laughed properly since i left. There are a couple of nice people on my philosophy course, i just hope i make some friends soon.
It's hard to go from having a really close group of good friends, even friends that i didnt see that often but were there... people i could have a laugh with, to being the person who sits in the corner, says something and no one listens, tries to start a conversation and gets a wall. i miss comfortable silences, i would swap them for my right arm shortly followed by swapping my left arm for cuddles.
I miss everyone so much. I don't cope well with being alone.
Things will improve but i've never been good at waiting.
