Seemingly compelled to participate in meaningless conversations whenever encountering each other in their apartment, local roommates Dylan Lewis and Sean Porter told reporters Tuesday they still do not know each other well enough to not speak. Every time I see Sean in the living room or kitchen or wherever, I feel like I have to ask him how things are going or how his day was, said Lewis, who, like Porter, would reportedly much prefer to silently walk down the hall to his bedroom, shut the door, and work on his laptop. Or sometimes well talk about how the Mets did for maybe 30 seconds, just to get it out of the way. I mean, itd feel weird not to. At press time, the roommates had finally grown comfortable enough with each other to mutter a brief hello and avoid eye contact almost completely.
