i feel your pain. i like to think of myself as a chill, laid-back sort of person, who can do anything, anytime, anywhere. but this is simply not true.
case in point: we stayed in a giant home with 50 people i'd never met before when we went snowboarding a few weeks ago. the place was noisy, noisy, nosiy. drunken kids make the most noise ever. and it made me cranky and crazy. i don't know that a hostel would be do-able for me, either, much as i like the idea. maybe, but i think it would be a problem if i had to do it for too long... i just wouldn't be getting as much sleep as i like/ need to be a hapy and non-whining member of any entourage.
you know, maybe i could overcome my personal problem with earplugs, since it tends to be the noise that affects me the most. shanon was in bed with me when we stayed with all those people, so i didn't feel like i was just alone in a strange bed somewhere. i don't know how i'd do in a place where i was sleeping alone, even if she was in the bunk below.
but the moral is, good on ya for giving it a go. now you know!
