Meet the roommates...

Alright so I've begun settling into my new place here in Vancouver, I arrived yesterday and unpacked my 2 68 pound suitcases (They had to stick big HEAVY) stickers on them at the airport heehaw... I definitely DO NOT travel light. *shrug* Sue me...

Anyway I was kinda dreading meeting the roommates more so after my brief introduction with two of them yesterday... I think I made a bad first impression but I guess that's unavoidable when you're a gay kid in a room full of hockey jocks... ugh. Anyway I got to actually converse with the lot of them today, there are 5 in total and mostly very diverse. One of my regrets is that there are not more females here as I sometimes have trouble making friends with straight guys... it's awkward for me, I don't like it being that way but that's just the way it is. *sigh* Oh well, life goes on...

So roommate #1 - I think his name is "Mario" but it's pronounced really weird and I can't quite say it yet. Makes for a slightly awkward meeting when you can't even say the persons name... *sigh* He, his friend (roommate #3) and his girlfriend (roommate #2) are all from Slovakia and they moved to Canada about 4 months ago looking for work. None of them are students which kinda sucks... students have a different life than those that work and I was hoping to mingle with fellow students during my stay here. *shrug* Oh well... anyway he's pretty cute and I got into conversation with both him and his girlfriend today (Hooray!) She mentioned that she was glad that a friendly person finally moved in here as she doesn't get much outta the others apparently. Bad news for me.

Their friend (roommate #3) who lives here is also from Slovakia... he is big, ugly, and mean. I said "Hey" to him as we were both in the kitchen and asked him a question about the sink and he didn't even look at me he just had a scowl on his face... what a stupid fuck, not even acknowledge someone else's presence... must be the bowls and bowls of rice I see him eating... anyway.... moving right along... (excuse my sharp tongue, this was only moments ago and I'm still a little miff'd)

Deni (roommate #4), he seems cool but the girl tells me that she rarely gets more than a "Hi, hows it going?" outta him. He's studying acting at Capilano college... We exchanged a few sentences before he had to crash due to his hangover. Seems easy to get along with, I predict good things...

The other guy (roommate #5) I don't know his name I just met him as we got off the same bus at the same time. He's in product engineering @ UBC and that's all I got outta him. He guessed I was an actor but no I told him I'm a Computer Graphic Artist... has a nice ring to it..


Beyond meeting the roomies I've been running little errands, I found the grocery store and went looking for a toaster and computer desk & wound up finding a happenin' street (4th Street) with cool stores (Think WestEd meets Whyte Ave meets NewAge) and instead of a toaster I got a backpack and some piercings (I stretched my lobes to a 4 and I have black tunnels!!! Sweet deal =D)


Anyway now I'm back @ home and found out all my personal belongings won't be coming until Monday... but I have orientation all Monday long and won't be here to receive them! ARG! Computer I miss you!

More to come soon, as well as the conclusion to the 69 hour sketch adventure as well as photos as soon as I get my computer here =(...

Love you kids! Miss you guys! Visit me! lol...
