So I'm driving down to Chapel Hill from nyc and decided to spend a night in D.C. Seemed like a good idea until I start my DC -> NC leg and get stuck in 25mph traffic for 9 hours. One of my worst trips ever and I didn't even have a stack of CDs to listen to. People south of MD don't know how to drive in winter weather, they are too cautious.
Finally, when I make it to my apartment, I meet two cool roommates, Patrick and Rane. We spend the night drinking, swapping stories and getting to know each other. Right away I felt comfortable.
