The awkward times of Eric Paul Smith

I have pink paint on my shoes.
Your probably wondering why a manly guy with testosterone throbbing veins like me has pink paint on his shoes. Well I'll get to that later in the story.
I recently found out that a friend of mine will not be going to WSU with me next year but will be going to Cowley for another year. This is sort of a big deal because we were supposed to get a house together. In fact the only reason I found out about the open room in this house is because of the said friend. I respect his decision and I don't blame him for doing what he is doing but I will miss him.
The biggest reason why I am going to miss him is because I don't know anyone else in the house that well. I haven't even met one of the girls yet. I went to high school with all of them and they are all very nice but I do for-see some awkward moments in the future. This shouldn't be a problem because my entire life up to this point seems like it's been one big awkward moment.
Last Saturday we had a painting party at the house. There were probably twelve people there total, all of which I went to high school with. They are all friends with each other and I felt a little left out because they would joke around with each other and listen to music that I had never heard of. It wasn't bad but it did get awkward. The good news is we were able to paint almost the entire upstairs. We even painted a vanity room for the girls. The color was pink. I stepped in some of it.
With all of the being said I am really looking forward to moving into the house. It will be a new experience with new people. I'm sure that we will get along. If nothing else I will have an entire room to myself so I can invite friends over whenever I want and not bother any one else. It will be an improvement from living in the dorms with a stranger.

On an unrelated note, our neighbor is a suspected drug dealer. We live in a somewhat sketchy part of town and my friend Beth said that there are times when a bunch of cars will park in front and then leave quickly. I did talk to him though and he seems like a nice guy.
