interesting roommates

For the first time in three years..i.e since i moved into this apartment, i feel like an outsider..in my own apartment!!!!!I got this apartment since i started my studies here in helsinki and have never moved, i have grown so attached to it such that i dont picture myself moving out any time soon, though am graduating so soon i'll have to get out whether i like it or not. Living in a HOAS apartment, roomates come and go, i dont know why finns dont like staying in one place for long, none of my roommates have ever lasted more than six months here and no, its not me who has a problem am actually among the most peaceful roomates one could ever get. As i was saying, living in a HOAS apartment, you never know who u'll get for a roommate once someone moves out and you have to be ready to live with weirdos. Luckily i have never had any troublesome roommates like other pple(there are always visagas of all kinds kwanza living with finns).
Recently, i got two new roommates, one moved in towards the end of last year when i was away in london and the other one came in at the beginning of this year. I always suspected the first one to be gay but i couldn't rely on speculation and coincidentally, the newer one is also gay or should i say a lesbian?Whatever. Not like i have anything against gay or lesbians but i just find it weird and kinda unnatural. Jana my judgement was proved right...yep, saw it with my eyes. Well, what can i say?Its a changing world but anyone who was born and brought up in kenya will agree with me that its a bit unbelievable, uncomfortable too given that am straight. Turns out that the two gals are 'men' so in a way, am living with two men in my house. They walk, talk,dress and act like men and their 'girlfriends' come to visit and spend nights. Now am even feeling a bit uneasy walking to the bathroom with nothing but my towel rapped around my body when they are there coz am imagining that just like a normal man would do they are probably eyeing my legz. ha ha!!!!Its not like i mind then and we do get along just fine. Just incase someone is wondering HOAS means Helsingin seudun opiskelija asuntosäätio or Helsinki region student housing foundation.

Sometime during summer 2004 i was in a party with my best friend and i got so drunk and was telling her that 'am the only sober one in this house' it was soooo funny to her and since then she has never forgotten we always enjoy each other when we go out for drinks ama in a party 'seems like you are the only sober one in this house/club'. So today i told her that i can comfortably say 'am the only straight one in this house'!!!!She laughed her lungs out.
