Erik Gray's journals
#journal gemsSunday, January 31, 2016
I live in an apartment complex called PineView. Size-wise, it's a lot smaller that T-Bird, but I don't mind it because it tends to make us a little more social. You go inside the building, and then from inside to the apartment, so everyone (kind of) leaves their doors open; it's a really social place.
I love Logan! The more time I live here the more convinced I am that this town was made for me!!! Seriously, I always thought Kelsie was just talking it up, but it really is great. Especially for my personality. Cedar is great, but it is a lot more laid back. Logan is really social. I think the difference is that a lot of people around here are not from here in Logan, but from other places. So people kind of have to be more outgoing. I feel like I'm really thriving here. I've made lots of friends. And I love meeting new people around here. Janice and Jessica are probably my friends here in Pine View. But honestly I feel like I am friends with almost everyone here. My roommates call me the social one and they also ask me who people in the building are cause I know just about everyone. :) Capris, my awesome next door neighbor, gave me a compliment just a few weeks ago. She said, "Erik, one time Alex and I (or maybe someone else...) asked ourselves, 'how did we get to become such good friends?' And I said, Erik. He is always the one inviting people and bringing people together.' Erik, you are like a glue!" And I thought that was really nice. And another girl, Annie, told me that she became good friends with Abby across the building because of a thing I invited them both to.
I just like people! In fact, I bought the game "Werewolves" last semester, probably about Sept/Oct. We've played it quite a bit and I've gotten pretty good at narrating. It's super fun. We've actually started playing it weekly. Sunday nights, after ward prayer. It's a tradition now!
