"Dear Daddy, I write you in spite of years of silence"

Well I have a little time to kill but I should start reading "House of Leaves" so here I am. I don't want to talk about anything to important so we'll go with the new friends topic.

I'm going to go in cronological order or at least try

• Jacob: He's my roommate so of course he's one of the first people I met. I actually met him before starting school; when I came for orientation he was in my group so we got to see each other before having to move in together. I was nice to find out about him, and since we never really talked since then until actually getting to college it gave us time to figure out who was bringing what. Jacob is in ROTC, so he's up at six almost every morning. I feel bad for him because I don't know if he gets any sleep (maybe six hours a night but he takes naps so I think he's doing fine).

First week or so I had a small group just in my hallway and we got along fine. All of them drank so I pretty much stayed away when Friday and Saturday nights came around, which meant that I was in my room doing nothing.

• Wilson: Like the volleyball from Castaway...not literally of course. Wilson lives right next door and has quite the personality. He has a decent computer and games galore, so we LANed a lot of games at the beginning of school.
• David: Down four doors, about the same as Wilson but I helped him steal a couch from the basement...shhh
  
• Craig: Guitar god. Yup, if this guy doesn't make it in the entertainment business I'll be suprised. If you every see him ask him to play Eruption by Val Halen and then stand back.
  
• Greg: Lovable drunk.

Soon I expanded, started looking for people that I could hang out with on Fridays and Saturdays while the group got drunk and found a decent group of people that I could connect with. Mainly people would just meet in the den and play games and watch movies and that was just fine with me.

• Paula: Pretty much the closest girl to me, geographically. Also she's half-japanese...oohh. (see italics at the end if you don't understand this)
  
• Katie: At the end of the short girls' hall.
  
• Eric: Roommates with David. Good guy in general, we often having staring contest out of the blue.
  
• Kelsey: Mormons! She knows alot of Mormons. Probably the geekiest girl I know, which is so cool.
  
• Brian: I saw Brian many times before I actually started to know him as something besides "hall boy" because he was always in the hall. He's a little quiet at first which is the same as me but once you get to know him he's one of the funniest guys you'll know.
  
• Rocio: Lives at the end of the long girls' hall. Is from Eden Praire. EP sucks!!!! I didn't really know here well either until I started hanging out with them and by that time I believe she and Eric had something going on.
  
• Ariel: Crazy, from the same town as me but went to a different high school.
  
• Rachel: Roommates with Rocio. Tall would be a good way to describe her in one word.
  
• Katrina: I didn't really know her until after she dyed her hair red with Kelsey so I don't know what color her hair is supposed to be. I hid candy in her room, she didn't see if Brian and I wanted to go to dinner. There's a story there, maybe another time.

Rivers, weezer's singer, has a thing for half-japanese girls and wrote a song pretty much saying that called "El Scorcho" so everytime I hear Paula talking about her heritage it reminds me of the song which kicks ass...Can I say that on here? Ass? I guess so.
