Seriously. I think one's gonna start. People just aren't happy over there.

Apparently we're expected to keep it to ourselves if we don't like someone. That doesn't quite work. Refer to my last entry, about not reading if you're offended. A diary is supposed to be a personal space where you're free to post your own thoughts. Diaryediting or censoring just sucks big time. I've tried writing up censored entries before, and it just frustrates me more and makes me go write in a "real" journal about how angry I am at various people. I go back and read them the next day and wonder what drugs I was on that inspired me to write some of that stuff. It's kind of scary. So I'd rather write something in here that makes me feel better, even if it annoys or possibly even offends others, rather than write something in here that makes everyone feel happy about themselves but makes me feel like shit. I don't need that.

That's why I have roommates.

But I think the issues with my roommates are welcome breaks from the issues back home. I can avoid my roomies easier than I can avoid people at home. Which seems counterintuitive. I mean, I don't live with any of you, so it should be easy to avoid anyone I want. But here, to avoid people I go across the hall or shut myself in my room. I can still have a social life here without my roomies. Our group of friends back home is so interconnected it's hard to choose who to spend time with because other people end up getting invited along.

And I know that some people are going to be uncomfortable with this entry. But I am at peace. And that's what matters.

In other news, my parents came by today :-P Everyone tells me I should be happy that they came, but I'm not, I'm sorry. It was nice to see them, sure, but I would have been just as happy if they hadn't shown up. Although I do now have a fridge and microwave for myself. Had to completely reorganize my room :-P But I made it. I'm waiting for it to cool right now before I move some pop and some of my other things into it.

The fic I started last night is coming along nicely :-) If I don't get distracted like I was last night, it could even possibly get done today! Perhaps that's too much to hope for.... Whatever.
