After a while, you know you begin to run out of friends to blog about. For me, the writing block might be approaching right now, although sometimes someone just came through my mind, and I would say "bingo!" and blog on.
Friggy was my roommate last year. An Asian American, he fit the stereotype perfectly: playing musical instrument (piano) and major in double-E. But he is cooler than most. I do not think he is ever happy with his major, because he is more into doing random things rather than focusing on a career after EE. He likes birds, so he put a feeding thing outside of the window and let the bird come and eat. Every morning, therefore, I can hear birds' very loud chirping. Friggy graduated last year from the university, and he is more proud of his kitchen inspection certificate (for a co-op) than the real diploma. So I guess he is one of the cool kids, don't you agree?
For one thing, I am not a cool kid. So it is quite hard for me or him to initiate a conversation with each other. It seems that we live in two different worlds although we actually lived one wall apart. Well, if you use "wall" metapherically, it all makes sense, right? Anyway, respect is plenty, but I never actually knew him. But I wish him good luck in the real world now. He will be quite vulnerable in the real world, accroding to my impression, but I wish he will have good friends to help him out, friends that are much cooler than his old roommate.
I just checked his blog, which I haven't opened for months. The old blog archives are gone, and new one started from last month. It might indicate that he want to start over? I do not know, but the old blog of his is pretty dark. He is either in Japan or Taiwan now, probably for a real job. He is not happy, obviously, but he will be all right.
