There have been too many gaps in updates, so I'll attempt to go back in time. . .
 This brings me back about 3 years, to a time when Okah Mocha was alive and kicking, and noone pictured was married. That was during the time that I've gotten the most phonecalls, and I was quieter than I am now. I can't claim the calls as my own, since they were normally addressed to both Hope and I- but it sure was exciting to get those goofy messages! There's a time and place for everything, I guess. Not everything was perfect then, but it seems a lot more fun than now :( .
Going back before even then, I just moved away for college January of 2002, and that first semester was a big one for me- losing my great-grandma, and boyfriend- the former to death, the latter to fate? There were good times, though, and the beginnings of Amber- just no official roommate. Hope was my first roommate (I had one for almost a week when I first started school- she spent all her time with her boyfriend, who sang in the stairwell- and she did his laundry). I think roommates sure can be a blessing in many regards, like having to work through issues like TALKING!! hurray!!! and cleaning and keeping us knowledgeable of where the other is and doing what. In a way, I think it helps the future spouses because we have experience dealing with issues- unless you're me, and are more of a turtle, ducking away from issues, trying to keep a thick shell. . .
So Okah Mocha took place in Z-House, the mens' honors dorm. In a room upstairs with students who made coffee drinks and served them in coconuts, but not for profit- I don't think they ever broke even :( . But there were good times had, and music, and as a people-watcher myself, I very much enjoyed it (it happened once a week). I like Z-House a lot, although I can't say I know what's become of it. Some of my best times at school were just sitting around talking with friends there, or hiding in the basement. I can't say it smelled good, but when you're an introvert like me, and love people, but need a break from them, yet live on campus, a quiet spot is ceratinly welcome! That was one of the benefits of living in the library for 2 years.
As for the last couple of months, it seemed like they'd been going exceptionally well until the last couple of days, when it seems like maybe I've just been kidding myself. What is reality? Are my perceptions valid? I'm happy to be involved in the church, and that's been one of my biggest blessings lately. I'm also dying to quit my job. While it's cool to meet people from everywhere (in a mall, and people worldwide apparently shop there?)- I'd rather be the one initiating it, as in going to their countries. But part of me feels that since I haven't done it already, maybe I never will?
Z-House rules and represents change, ideas, and excitement to me.

Did you know little Sarah and Josh are moving back in April? They are coming back to school, I think. Also, Army Dave is back from Iraq, him and Ali moved to a suburb near Minneapolis. Yay for Z-House, they were the coolest, sweetest and most memorable guys!

As to your question, the biggest change to Z-house of late is that they knocked out the walls surrounding the "secret room" in the basement. Now it is all open and there is a table tennis table in there, where me and Tan regularly play. It's a lot nicer that way.
Did you T.J. girls ever go into the library when it wasn't open?

No, I didn't know that, but that's exciting! The twin cities really are a great place.
newbie39:
That's cool. Sounds fun. Is there still that plaque in the wall there (in the not-so-secret room)?
