First house fight. I don't really feel like dwelling on it, but it is bringing up some other interesting issues:
1) Where did I get my assertive and confrontational qualities? My father was the kind of shy person growing up that would wait on stoops for hours for his friends rather than knock on doors. And although my mom seems like she'd be assertive, I'm realizing how untrue that assumption is. She is passive in her romantic relationships and always has been and is apparently quite similarly so in other sorts of relationships. Maybe I got it from my crazy step mom, or from Amelia, who's always been an extrovert and has been in my life for about a million years.
2) Was I wrong to move in with a friend? Will this move negate our friendship, or change it?
The nightly self portrait deal is going well. I'm learning some fun things from it. Obviously I know how to draw, but it's really cool to keep myself entertained and try to make a "piece" out of it, rather than just keeping it as a sketch.
Trying not to spend money. Want to go to China.

I would have advised against moving in with a friend. I had a friend as my boss for couple of years and it pretty muck killed our friendship when I sucked at my job and eventually she had to fire me. It may work out all right though, but staking a friendship on long term close quarters compatibility is rather a gamble.
