I had a GREAT night last night.
We were invited by our new neighbours to join them for home made pizza last night. Around 7, we headed downstairs (it's really hard to be early or late when it takes thirty seconds to get somewhere) and met Nik and Karen.
From the second we got there we basically talked a blue streak - environment, politics, the weirdness of Newfoundland (they're from Moscow and Kansas, respectively) - everything. There wasn't a single pause the whole night, and we have so much in common. We only left when I started to shiver with exhaustion, because it's been a long two weeks.
I walked upstairs, still jazzed from being able to talk about something other than the law and school, and discovered that it was a quarter to three.
WE HAD BEEN THERE FOR EIGHT HOURS.
I hadn't even noticed.
I think that's a good sign when you meet someone for the first time.
We seemed to make a good impression. Nik's going to Moscow for two weeks so we've offered to help Karen, who's hugely pregnant, lift and carry things if needed, and we're all going to get together again when everyone's back in town. It seems very promising . . .
