NOVEMBER 5TH - 2:51 AM
i love my roomates.
I don't really write in this anymore-- at least i hardly write FOR anyone anymore.. but it's almost like .. i DONT want to forget this wonderful feeling inside of me you know?
they are wonderful. from day one, abby - the girl from norcal- cracked me up without even saying anything. she's a WAC/dance major and she dances for me all the time.
the smile she has on her face when she dances is unbelievable, and quite honestly, it's contagious.
She and I laugh about everything. just everything. from our weird, kooky neighbor across the hall to how we just.. live.
she's got me saying hella -- actually, if you say "hell" fast enough, it comes out to be hella, i've learned. learning crazy ass words like "hoot" and "wuffin" and thizz face or whatever is not only amusing but exciting.
and sharing my bit of socal-ness, or at least deborah-ness of saying "that's wack" and "hell to the no" has been an upper for me since zero week.
The other, athleen-- is the sweetest girl i've met, quite possibly in my lifetime-- actually, she rivals with Carolyn Oh (whom i miss ) when it comes to niceness and sweetness.
she brings us food and lets me just chill on her bed whenever. in fact, she insists that i chill on her bed. it's kinda crazy but the level of comfort i have with her is just absolutely amazing. She listens to what i have to say and..for the first time in a long time, i've met someone that can pick up everything that i'm feeling. i can have my heart-to-hearts with her and tell her my thoughts about life, religion and just college in general. she leaves the sweetest notes on my desk when she has early days. she wakes me up in the mornings sometimes. she cleans the room for FUN. she gives hugs at the perfect times. she's got that quiet exterior that i just appreciate so much. our level of communication is beyond words. just sitting in the same room as her just makes me feel relaxed, calm and happy.
the term "babaygurrl" has become a daily exhibition of my extensive vocabulary. they love that i call them that and in return, i am referred to as their "poopie." I've also realized that THAT specific term, as odd as that is, gets me out of so many situations.
like when our sorority neighbor is ichat-ing at like 3 AM all i do is pop my head out and say "BABAYGURL, CAN YOU KEEP IT DOWN, Deborah is tryin to sleep" -- TRUST, it works.
i like how free i feel with them. i like running around the floor in my boxers, undies, whatever i have at the moment-- i love that people here know how to LAUGH.
we laugh about my sleep talking -- more like sleep screaming incident, we laugh about our alarm clocks going off, we laugh about those times when i text "erect" rather than "great" on accident, we laugh about the crazy shit that some psycho chicks here do.
it's so crazy that my roommates actually turned out to be my two closest friends here at UCLA- not because i am a loner or whatever the term is now days, but just because, SIMPLY because i have amazing roommates.
they make me want to grow as a person, they make me want to find out who i am. and they are SO loving and SO supportive of everything--- it sounds cheesy, but it's so great to be surrounded by positive energy. it changes everything.
it's such a different environment here. like south pas is SO small and i realize just how trivial some aspects of high school were every time i go home.
college definitely changes lives. and sometimes, it kicks my ass.
and you know what?
IT FEELS GOOD.
