You're right, Ashara, as usual. The idea of sharing a room with a stranger, which the folks here cannot even be categorized as, is somewhat daunting but at the same time exciting and interesting. Reminds me of college days. I had one roommate and he was strange, even moreso than I, but I learned much from him despite it all. He was eccentric, worked in the university cafeteria, and would bring boxes of silverware back to the dorm room with him and store it under his bed. Tall and with a lurchlike gait, he thought I was really strange also. We never carried on one conversation that entire year but I can look back now and have some kind of affection for him. He stayed on his side of the room, minded his own business, and never gave me any grief. I did the same. Camp was much the same way but made a lot of friends there. Sounds exciting to me to meet a new friend.
