the lads
I met my other flatmates yesterday. Rob seems like an average, good natured sort of kid. Pretty mainstream, I guess you’d consider him a bit of a jock in the US. I think he’s from Manchester, and he allegedly has a penchant for fighting, though I wouldn’t think it from looking at him. Marco is from Abberdeen I think, and he’s crazy. He’s super animated and wants to teach primary school, which I think would suit him. I guess he’s really into Mr. Bungle, which also seems to suit him. Pete is a pretty interesting guy, and he likes to talk, which is alright by me. We had a rather lengthy conversation about computers the other night. He seems cool, but makes me a bit uneasy. He sort of reminds me of some kids I knew freshmen year who I found to be nice enough, to me at least, but always caused me to keep a certain degree of vigilance. Ian is the last flatmate, and the one I met first. He skates, snowboards, and is into post-hardcore, metal, emo, etc. Awesome. He seems to be quite a nice kid as well and is really funny. For instance, he always likes to imply that Rob is a brawler which makes Rob all embarresed which I find hilarious. So, I think it should be interesting. They’re all freshmen, which is a bit odd, but I think it’s better in some ways. I think when people come off to school for the first time, they tend to be more respectful of one another on account of the new, shared experience. Kids who would never be around each other under normal circumstances can somehow manage to co-habitate without any major loss of blood. So, that ought to make things work out a bit better for me.
