In the last couple days, I have barely seen my roommate (or rather housemate). We both work all day, and she is finishing up her dissertation so she stays in her room for extended periods of time.
However, tonight we had dinner almost together and watched a movie.
She'd originally brought the movie so she could watch it in her room while I had two friends over, but Crazy Redhead Mathematically Inclined Friend remembered at the last moment that it was her sister's eighth grade graduation ceremony, so the evening was rescheduled.
We talked about where we came from, what we did, what we liked. She likes seafood and I like cookie dough. I think seafood is too chewy and she could never fathom the idea of eating cookie dough. She's thirty-one, I'm eighteen. She studies Anthropology, I study Biology. She wants to move back to Nicaragua, I want to stay in the US.
She is very nice.
We watched "The Dark Knight," and were both very glad not to be watching it alone when the scary parts came up.
I have no idea what one is supposed to do when one lives with a complete stranger, but I think this may be working itself out very simply. What a wonderful feeling!

Often, as someone wiser than me once said, strangers are simply friends one hasn't met before. Looks like this could be an example.
