Today's quote: He who blunders everything once, has the pride of saying he has seen and done all, he who is perfection at everything the first try, has the pride of saying he is inexperienced.

My thoughts: I'd rather be inexperienced then someone who emabresses themself on a daily ritual...

*Sits at her desk, staring at the blank pages for several minutes before coming to a coming to a conclusion*

I have finally settled into my apartment. I sent a quick letter off to my family before doing some reviewing for my courses.
As I write I am currently watching 'Saw', it's intriguing nonetheless, I can understand how some would be frightened of it, but... it's a bit too dramatic for my tastes.

*pauses to think some more*

I've become well acquainted with my neighborhood, I feel safer now, walking at nights because I know the streets, which roads lead to populates areas, and which turns lead to dead ends. I doubt my childhood lessons in Tae-Kwon-Do will come into play, I hope not. I'm only a blue belt.
I received a package from mother, just some things I forgot at home, and apparently a gift of 900 dollars for casual spending. And she told me it's no good trying to send it back, she'll only send it with her and father's next letter, or buy me something useful and send it that way.
*shakes head*
I don't need the money... I'm managing well enough off on my scholarships and with my salary from my new job...
Perhaps I'll use it to buy my family some Valentine-Day gifts. It's not as if I've a boyfriend or friends in general to spend it on.

*picks up the controller and turns down the volume as screaming starts*

I have a new roommate. I am rather surprised he's a boy, I had anticipated I would be rooming with another girl, but I suppose in my case it doesn't really matter.
His name is Tir McDohl, we had... a peculiar first impression of each other.
I don't think I will be able to look him in the eye for the next few weeks, I'm horribly embaressed about spilling coffee all over him and... well... hmm.
I need to work out some things with him... who will do the shopping on what days, who cooks, who cleans... so on so forth.
It's odd, but I rather like him.
....
Not like that.
He's... amiable, even though he seems a bit quiet. Not that I think I'll ever be comfortable with him.

*turns the TV volume up now that the screaming has stopped*

I also happened by a.... well... a bar, to be blunt. I was taking one of my nightly walks when I ran discovered I had come unprepared for the cold nights of the city, so I stopped by the first public place in my sights to rest and warm up... not such a good idea in my mind.
I met... a rather charming gentlemen. His name is Mathiu, and he gave me a free cup of coffee. *crooked smile* It seems all the men I meet, it has something to do with coffee, one episode is enjoyable, the other a bit awkward.
Should I just avoid coffee altogether? *shudder*
I don't think I could live that way... my day would become horrendous, yes, I do think I am becoming something of a coffee addict.

I believe that is all that is noteworthy as of late.

Who: Yuiri and Tir.
What: A mishap in the coffee shop leads to an amusing episode of Yuiri and Tir discovering they're roommates.  Oh the paranoia.
When: A little before the dinner hour traffic rush, twilight.
Where: From a little coffee house, to the streets of Pale Gate City, to SoMa apartment complexes.
Warnings: None.

( Just a stroke of luck... )

I've decided to keep a record of my new adventures here.
If you can call them that.
I've already become well acquainted with my neighborhood and am settling in quite nicely.
I need to see to unpacking now.
