I like it when Renee and Nikki come over to the house and the house is filled with the noise of everyone conversing; it’s nice. (Sometimes it’s not nice, like when I’m trying to study and my patience becomes nonexistent, but for the most part, it’s nice.) I think it’s because the house feels alive rather than our usual silent solitariness (that is, each of us doing our own thing). I don’t know; this is really random but I’m just sitting here listening to the separate convos going on, like Hung laughing downstairs with Renee and Don and Nikki discussing law stuff. Actually, I was thinking that it would be nice to have a place filled with such conversation when I move on, I guess, and then I wondered what kind of people I’d like to have filling up such a place. Then, of course, it occurred to me that this might drive me nuts since I do like my quiet time, too. There’s just no happy medium. However, without mom and dad, the house has been too quiet lately. It’s weird not hearing someone shuffling around downstairs all the time.
