theskritabidesFeeling defeated at the moment. Searching for a roommate is, for me, an utterly loathsome task. There are people who don't find it a big deal and I wish I were one of them, but I'm not. FOAF fell through and the one friend who was considering it has decided to move to Chicago instead.
One answer would be simply to get my own place, but I'm not sure it's worth the expense and hassle of moving now if I'm only going to do it again in six or eight months, which is what I'd like. I'll go crazy trying to spend another six months with the current roommate, though, so something has to happen. I'm just feeling helpless because every plan I come up with these days is failing.
Moving on. I've been downloading a ton of shows from the new anime season but have yet to watch anything. Amazingly, I did actually read the final chapter of Ouran High School Host Club (amazing because I usually delay reading/watching conclusions of series I don't want to end -- I still haven't watched the director's cut of Return of the King, for example, and I probably won't until The Hobbit is out, depending on how I decide to feel about The Hobbit).
Anyhow, Ouran...I think I was a little disappointed. I wanted something braver. An understanding, even an explicit promise of love and friendship forever--but also a sense of moving forward. It took me a moment to adjust to Tamaki going to America with Haruhi, even though I 'ship them madly, but when everyone else showed up, it felt flat to me. I didn't hate it. I guess maybe I even liked it a little--but I did not respect it. And that's not how I want to leave a series.
I did like Kyoya's reply to Honey, concering his possible feelings for Haruhi, that he found something better. (Uhhhhm...he meant friendship, right? Obviously, I'll never be convinced that he doesn't also mean Tamaki's happiness, but I recognize that's not necessarily a reality outside my head.)
