I just realized that I never posted a blog about moving to a new apartment, ha ha. The last post that talked about my living situation said that I was saving up money so that Kim & Mac and I could get a bigger place. Well... what actually transpired turned out to be completely different.
We all had a conversation one evening about how cramped we all felt sharing their one-bedroom apartment, and I knew that my 5-month stay was long enough... Even before I said it, I knew they agreed. It just felt like it was time to stretch my little wings again and find a place of my own. They weren't ready to leave their kick-ass 6th-floor apartment with an amazing view of the bay, and I don't blame them. Also, they get their privacy back and I don't have to feel like I'm mooching off some of my closest friends. (Although, I did buy all the groceries nearly the whole time I lived there, I tried to contribute more, but they wouldn't let me... ha ha) So after that conversation, I stopped going out, tried my best not to spend any money and saved two paychecks up and moved out.
I now live with two lovely ladies, Diosa and Ashley. If you haven't met them yet, you need to come over to my place after 6ish on a weekday or anytime during the weekend pretty much... and do just that. They will crack you up and have you saying "OMG I LOVE YOU" to them before you've left. I promise. These ladies are amazing. Clean. Friendly. Giving. Caring. Humorous. The good kind of smokers. Although they are straight and they EAT MEAT... I've decided to let those two factors slide and deem them totally rad! Can't blame them for being born that way, and carnivorism is a choice I leave up to each person and don't try to force my herbivorism on them. We signed our lease today (finally, it'd been a month since we moved in!) and so we are officially going to be living there til June of this year with a lease renewal until June 2010... So most likely I won't be moving for almost a year and a half, which is AMAZING for me.
I am going to make the ladies have a photo shoot with me sometime soon, I want to frame some pictures for our apartment and post them all over the internet. :) Until then, I think I have a picture of each of them on MySpace as well as links to their pages via their names above.
g'night kiddos!
Way to go, you stretch those wings! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you live in an awesome new place with what sounds like two amazing women.
I totally understand what it's like to feel like a mooch, despite your best efforts to contribute. (I was in the same boat recently)
Good job!
