Fortunately, they say they keep things clean, and so far that seems to be true. If they don't want to cook, that's on them really. I don't cook much, but I do poach some eggs or boil pasta, and when I have a crockpot and time to buy good vegetables, I make thick soups in the crockpot. I don't need much, but having no utensils at all is disconcerting. Hopefully things will go okay, they seem to want to really be friends and hang out, which I'm... fine with I think? I like having new friends, but i'm also afraid of embarrassing myself and/or pissing them off, and I really have nothing in common with them. So we shall see.

I don't like cooking, but it is necessary to feed myself in any kind of cheap and somewhat healthy way. 

Step 4 is an awesome step. :-P Your house sounds fun. 

On the other hand, I dislike having other people in charge, so I don't know. Last time I lived on my own it was just me and my boyfriend, so we had a pretty equal partnership with it. This time there are 3 others, and we all rent by the room for the same price. I'm the oldest and the only one over 21. Also, I don't mind touching/killing roaches, and I tutor math which I've taken to higher classes than they have. So if they want someone to buy booze, kill bugs, and help with their math homework, they had better be nice? :-P

Ethan's his name... and Yu will find out quickly that he doesn't like to be coddled. Take him out of the bullying situation and he's actually quite intelligent and independent. As far as the abuse, he takes it due to a combination of learned helplessness and the fact that it is actually a pretty difficult situation. It's him against usually more than one other person where they are all genetically designed to be stronger and faster. If he fights back and wins, they will get more people or he will be the one arrested. It's happened before. So he's finally given up. It's easier just to take the abuse and move on.
