I was pretty tired last night, but then my roommate invited me out to a bar with a bunch of her friends. I'm really glad I went. They were all about my age, and really nice. They struck me as really typical smart, college-educated, young people who all hang out and go to parties some and go out drinking. I talked to one of the guys, Ross, a lot. I didn't get an entire sense of him, but we seem to have a lot of common interests without agreeing on everything. Some one who is good for discussions about stuff. He knows a lot more about music than I do, but it's a lot of the same music as me, so I actually have a small leg to stand on and say things from.
We went to a bar on Queens Blvd. Apparently I live in a really Irish area, most of the bars are Irish. The bartender had an accent, and when Emily, my roommate, asked if there were any bars around that had something-or-other (it sounded like Beamish, but I wans't listening very closely and it was loud) he gave her a look and said "you know, back home, we give that stuff away. Terrible" It was the most inherently casual social thing I've done so far, the conversation was easy and unpretentious, but opinionated, but unabrasive, the people were inquisitive, but the focus wasn't 'okay new girl, tell us your spiel.' I did have to do my diagram of California, particularly the Bay Area. I didn't have a pen, so I did some artistic napkin tearing. I got home tipsy, onthe way buying a small box of Nilla Wafers and wheat thins. They're all gone now.
So, my so-far opinions of my roommates- Leslie is the one who I talked to about the apartment, my entire dealing was with her. She's very nice, but I think she's a lot lonelier than she'll admit. She monologues a lot, and it's easy to get trapped by her talking at you in the living room. It's fine, but it means it's harder for me to work out there, where it's warmer than my room. She's 29, and works freelance as a massage person and as a filmmaker. She once said to me that she used to work in theatre, but it just didn't have the social impact that you can have with film. If I knew her better, I would argue that. In some ways she's right, but there's a whole huge discussion that could happen there, and she is not really some one you can have a discussion with. She monologues a lot.
Emily is pretty awesome. We've had a couple companionable tv watchings together, and she's invited me out with her a couple times. Her friends live literally two doors away, which is pretty cool. They're the ones we went out with last night. She seems laid back and friendly. Always good.
Paolo the kitten is nuts. He'll be a good cat, but Leslie needs to teach him not to bite while playing. I've gotten him to mostly stop with me, but not totally. He also wants to chew through my laptop cord, which is all sorts of bad.
Okay, I need to see if my check got here, go boy ink, and work on my portfolio.
