I started moving my stuff into the co-op. Im really excited about living there, but i'm also a wee bit nervous. it's all happening really fast and most of the house members haven't met me yet. a lot of them have been on ragbri. im slightly worried that they'll be a little upset or maybe irritated that someone has already moved in when they get back... im also kinda worried that some of the people that have been living in the house a long time think im moving in too quickly too. I will also be the youngest one in the house. not the youngest ever, but the only one under 21 currently living there. but tonight for example, i came into the house carring a box of books and a couple of the older people were sitting in the dinning room chatting in full veiw of the front door and the stair case. i said hi and continued carrying the box upstairs to my room. 2 boxes of text books, 1 large laundry basket full of clothes, and 2 book cases later one of them said "you're not wasting any time are you?" as he passed me on the stairs. i told him that's all i had for the night, thanked him and left. i deffinately didn't expect anyone to help me carrying anything, but i thought it would have been a nice gesture to offer to help. i was also a little worried by the man's comment. its ok with me if they think im not following the right protocol, and its alright if they think im not hard core organic, vegan, activist, old, whatever enough... i want everyone to like me there, but if they dont it's their deal. i feel like some people in the house think i do have prove myself, and i dont really like that. i'll just be as friendly and respectful as i can be. i dont think anyone should expect anything more out of me than that.

and thankyou everyone for your vote of confidence. its really appriciated. its always great to get compliments.
