Moving Day

thinkin baout moving

hey, me too

time to get excited

http://diamondcreative.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/excited2.jpg

i hope those guys will give me a job

there is some stuff i will miss, here

is it moving day yet

i wish.

mostly i am so tired of it being WINDY every day UGH

this part of america should be destroyed by 100 tornadoes imo

i am late for work because i was lusting after spacious west coast apartments, with views.

i moved into a new office for job today

it has fire alarm system, sprinklers, working mail chutes, heat, air conditioning, and janitors. all these things the old bldg didn't have can u believe it

LOL @ the old building catching fire today at noon

place i worked at last year didn't have hot water! dressing rooms with showers, but no hot water lol

oh yeah it only had one type of water at a time: either hot or cold but you couldn't really choose
also the elevators were so slow i quit using them, and during the fire today the news says one got stuck on the 7th floor

yay i found apartment (not officially but sort of). Moving Day is fast approaching!!!

lol jk

lol jk

i am moving in 24 days

i wonder if a box will fall on your head

i've wondered that too. i was hoping something good would happen while/after i moved but maybe something bad like that will happen. who knows anymore.

maybe it will be a blessing in disguise.

a cunt of a blessing.

oh dear

you cant suggest ban on this board

that was a quote, my friend told me she borrowed an evening bag for a formal thing she was going to from a very ladylike friend of hers who then said in a posh voice, you should keep it if you want to, it's a cunt of a bag.

estela

we have punctuation marks for those

i just responded to a sublet ad!
maybe this is really happening!

what neighborhood? what month?

july 1, it was a few blocks from volunteer park, but they haven't replied to me :(
maybe sublet r3my's place, though...

finding apt was so annoying. you have to reload craigslist all day basically and jump on things in the first 10 min. in my experience. i am subletting until aug 15 bc i didn't wanna do a year without seeing it, also don't know how much money i'll have in 3 months. could be a lot, could be none!

what city?

the greatest city in america

the greatest city in america needs lawyers? not so great then huh

i have been eying listings for the past month or so and i keep seeing tons of repeats, but yeah, don't really wanna rent a place til i'm there and have an idea where i will be working/spending most of my time, so i think sublet is the way to go! those probably go faster, though.

jerkins

WHAT CITY?

BALTIMORE

AKA THE GREATEST CITY IN AMERICA

stalking amon has gone too far imo

srsly jerkins where the hell have you been harbl's been talking baout bmore for ages.

he STOLE MY baltimore thread

did you tell your parents your moving there for a boy you haven't met yet?

(not that there's anything wrong with that, just askin)

are you really gonna move w/o a job lined up, tza??

i don't have a job here after may 13 and it's cheaper to live there, so yeah.

http://www.daviddylanthomas.com/wp-content/uploads/blog/risky.jpg

also it's hard to find a job when you're not there. experience teaches me that hiring parties generally think out of towners are too much work. i might line up temp legal stuff just as security, though.

i don't have a job either because the job i had last summer doesn't hire w/o bar results but i am exploring other options

shit t siv i've moved a half-dozen times w/o a job (though not w/ the type of shit that's going on right now)

harbs did u pass the bar??

yes out of town job searching seems impossible unless you are looking at mega firms who recruit. but i am not.

i am taking it in july jergs

good luck!

usa

thx

summer in seattle >>>>> summer in new york

otm
oh shit harbski ur gonna pass no problem i am not *even* sweating it

neither am i but maybe i should be

like if i fail i gotta take it again in february and pay them like $200 more or something

whatta racket

u will do fine

tza u gettin laid off like permanent definitely or what? i missed this too

monday is my last day of work and i am pumped

my position was always set to end with the end of the season.

originally i thought i might get laid off in like january. this was always when it was supposed to be over, though.

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh119/Michael_Hogue/Animated%20GIF%20Library/Animated%20Bullets/dots_1464.gif

i get laid off for a month starting june 15th and i am trying not to count down the days

i am counting down the days because i am bored a lot at work.

jergins, maybe we can hang out in our jobless time!

i am moving in 20 days

kind of scared though like what if it sucks

that would be a concern when you move to a sucky place

About 344,069 people are unemployed and looking for work in Washington, the third record month in a row and topping last month's record 330,572.

Seattle's unemployment rate jumped an entire point to 8.8 percent -- topping the rate during the dot-com bust. The Seattle rate is the highest of all the months on record going back to January 2000.

cut it out

yeah.
it's still cheaper there!

While Maryland's unemployment rate remained well below the national rate of 8.5 percent in March, the 6.9 percent state rate was the highest since 1992, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

BE AFRAID EVERYONE

you are a hell of good googler though, i will give you that

i am leaving a state that had 9.7% unemployment in march

also jergins i am curious what places you don't think suck

nyc was 8.1% for march 09. can only imagine it's higher now.

what is williamsburg rate?

seattle
portland
vancouver
sf
parts of socal
n arizona
montana
mpls
chicago
memphis
maine
nyc
london
paris
berlin
tokyo
hawaii
laos
shanghai
denmark
bourdeax area sw france
barcelona
new zealand
australia (cities)
tahoe
baja

they don't actually break it out by burough do they?

lol i have been to 3 of those places :(

i don't know how you would since i imagine most people work in different boroughs than they live.

what is that a list of, jergs?

i believe they do keep borough stats but not neighborhood

ha, i just put that out as lazy zing bait

can't wait til i move away and get to make wburg jokes, too.

hey harbs i was jk about baltimore sucking. i have no idea. i've spent all of three days there, as a tourist. i think it might be kind of an interesting place. i have no idea. urban exploration? lots of brick? heart of the east coast? hey a city's got john waters and matmos and amon repping for it, it can't be bad, right? great ballpark there. massive abandoned factories. birthplace of babe ruth. i'm into it.

lol @ face saving attempt

it's ok jergins.

i was there for like 12 weeks last summer and i found it didn't suck or not suck, it's just a place to live. i liked my job ok and people in the office didn't seem miserable or overworked. i don't wanna live somewhere really cold anymore (e.g. where i grew up) or in the south (too hot and southern). also relatively cheap. and i think i am just a permanent east coaster. the midwest bothers me. it is really windy and people are weird and kind of annoying. anyway i'm not looking for some place people idealize like portland or something. i just wanna live somewhere average. like sort of good but sort of bad!

i don't care if you say it sucks anyway. i was just wondering because it seems like a place you would like.

i also considered milwaukee and philadelphia but eh. milwaukee is like a much colder version of cbus, which i am not that excited about to begin with. philadelphia the office i was looking at is not hiring any recent grads this year because of $$$. oh well! also i had an interview for prestigious nyc job and was sort of relieved when they didn't like me :)

prestigious should be in lol quotes

halol
i cld hook u up at an ip firm here maybe but fuck nyc for the next few years

yeah i don't wanna live in nyc at all though. also i have not taken a single ip course.

<3 ip
(and 1p3)

2day i finished job
and had last class
and i am moving in 18 dayssssssss

go forth, trouble child

i am excited but i feel like i am in permanent weekend mode until august. this is gonna be hard. i'm just gonna go to the movies and drink beers with the cat all the time instead of studying and studying is important this time :((((((

so not gonna be ready in 13 days

wow, i have a lot to do!

i keep trying to pack things and my apartment gets more and more covered with random junk to trip on. a lot of boxes in the hallway though! eeeeeeee

lol i went on this cleaning binge and threw out all my boxes like 2 months ago! oops.

perhaps this will inspire me to get rid of more stuff, though :D

someone promised to bring me boxes a few weeks ago and keeps forgetting and i am mad

what a jerk i would call bullshit on them if i were u

seattle: would i hate living downtownish?

see also: 20th ave @ e. jefferson.

wait i lied wrong listing. wallingford, near 45th is what i want to know about.

downtown would be great. there is a dearth of nearby grocery stores but the resourceful should have no problems
i know u retracted 20th/jefferson but to guve u an out line i would say uhh mostly. only if it's cheap would it be an okay neighborhood
i love wallingford. it's a nice very seattle area, close to everything and picturesque as hell

wallingford place is super cheap but also comes with 2 22-year old girl roommates.
only for the summer, though, so maybe i could deal?
eesh i want my own place, but maybe not til i'm settled?

plz stop to think of other people and the comic thread possibilities they might enjoy

*SiGh*

*9 days*

i found a $20 bill while i was packing stuff!

http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/4281/tynan6in.gif

blargh i need like 4 more boxes and i could be pretty much done

i posted a housing wanted ad and already have 7 responses, but it seems like they take a lot more work to get details/info out of.

yeah, i tried that when i was looking for a sublet last summer but it was annoying. people can't understand what you want so i got a bunch of responses from people who had rooms in complexes in the suburbs and also from crepey dudes with a spare bedroom in their condo. eventually i found a place w/ roommates and they were nice people but it made me really swear to never have a roommate again!!!!

like the one that was there the most was really mom-like and always calling me to see where i was if i stayed out too late

yeah part of my desire to move is a desire to not have to have roommates anymore! i mean, if i have to for a while, fine. but @(*#. this one lady has a reasonably priced 'mother-in-law' apartment but like, i don't know if i'm comfortable living in the same house as landlord. it's weird.

oh i think those are the best kind of landlords though! if they live in the house they have some stake in it other than collecting rent.

i don't like living nextdoor to the landlords

yeah but i feel like i'd be living with my mom or something and be all nervous about things.

ehhhh i dunno. my landlord used to live on the next block until his washing machine exploded and he moved to his other house. i wouldn't mind if he lived downstairs, he is a cool dude. but i dunno. true she could be the kind that makes sure you don't bring boys home.

i dunno i dunno

i think the majority of mature adults would not bother you or treat you like their child and you should give it a try!

she is a bit older, so i worry baout this no boys thing. someone actually wrote me and said 'no overnight guests' lol.

my old landlady used to live on the 1st floor (we were on 3) and she was INSANE. i used to have paranoid nightmares about her.

the landlord of my last apt. building also lived there. it's a mixed bag, she was on top of repairs but she was also crazy and kinda racist

ok maybe you are right

the no overnight guests thing shouldn't be legal. i ran across that a bunch of times when i was looking argh

our landlords mow are lawn and do the weeding, which is good since neither of us would ever do it, but they still live next door. good and bad, ya

also wld be a shared kitchen so i would probably see her more than i wanted to.

i had some awesome landlords once that blew our leaves and hired someone to plow our driveway. they were amazing. they even gave stocked the apartment with a george foreman grill and vacuum cleaner when i moved in!

we had like 20 sq ft of lawn but my neighbor dug it up. he lets us do whatever we want all the time! i gave the bushes a haircut.

oh shared kitchen would suck ok

http://www.survivinggrady.com/roper.jpg

that was one thing i really hated last summer--i felt like i couldn't ever make a mess and never wanted to be in there. also someone kept using my butter.

>_<

lol @ survivinggrady.com

i guess he really is dead ;_;

i am so jealous of grady's life*sigh*

i got 4 boise paper boxes from the library :)

thank god for idaho

i can't concentrate on anything school-related because i am thinking baout moving :((((((((

i thought you were done with school!

no i have an exam tomorrow and a paper to write this weekend and an 8-hour take-home exam wednesday

oh, dang.
i am all done!

things that are not scary:
opportunity!
new freshness!
unlimited possibility!

things that are scary:
jobs
housing
not knowing people and my tendency to slip into hermit ways

not knowing people

EXCUSE ME

yeah hermiting, i do that even when i do know people!

i dunno maybe it is time to turn over a new leaf and not hermit though rite. my problem is it is hard to find someone who hates as many things as i do

that sounded hateful

actually last year when i was there i did see lots of things and had fun but i also hermited because i did not know people and being in a place not-permanently makes me feel weird. i never wanted to do anything and i was always tired and stuff. i hope i have not already established a hermiting pattern there.

i don't really hate everything btw i just only like certain types of things

hah yeah i know lots of ppl here but i kinda hate a lot of em or am maybe just sick of them.
i should turn a new leaf! i am already excited about walking up hills and hiking and enjoying a city that is actually pretty so maybe that will inspire me to be more social?

also jergins weren't you threatening to leave? (feel free to delete that if it's not public record type shit)

see also: being afraid of annoying the 3 people i DO know

where's jergins going?

i am afraid of annoying people too :(

i am applying for my very own apartment!
not a sublet!
nervous.gif!

!

something that is interesting about moving, especially to a place where you haven't spent much time (when i moved here i had spent a total of 5 days here over 2 visits in 3 years), is weird spatial orientation stuff. like when you have no internal compass or sense of distance and you get lost or feel like everywhere you are walking is like being an explorer. like omg what could be around this corner?!?! when you stop getting that that's when stuff starts being boring imo.

i read half of a book about this once but i returned it to the library because it was so obvious

good luck movers.

thank u estela

my job is interfering with my apartment application filling outing! wth.

ugh :(

what

thissuxxxxxxxxx

are you on the bus?

no

oh. sorry.

i don't wanna move!

yes you do!

troubled child

aww. i feel sorry you are moving and schooling simultaneously.
i look forward to 2 weeks of unemployment in which to pack/consolidate.

i sent apartment application! fingers crossed!

i hope i am not making a horrible mistake!

yeah i don't know what i was thinking at all

i am troubled ;_;

when u are locking up pimps and prostitutes this will all be worthwhile

no she's gonna get them off

i hope it's better to forget one's own jokes than repeat them. that's what i'll tell myself.

weird spatial orientation stuff. like when you have no internal compass or sense of distance and you get lost or feel like everywhere you are walking is like being an explorer. like omg what could be around this corner?

this is what makes traveling so great. i love to walk and walkwhen i first get somewhere. i got to walk around spokane and even that town dead of winter had so much going: alleyways and odd graffiti businesses where u don't expect them.

it does get boring in the same place, knowing what's around every corner. i walk approx 4 different routes to work and the only thing that breaks it up are the people on the street. today i saw a guy with a t-shirt that said PUSSY HOUND on it, big, and was thankful 4 him.

where's jergins going?

not sure yet. here are the top candidates: south pacific, buenos aires, vientiane, luxembourg, marfa, baja

jergins weren't you threatening to leave?

no threats, public promises

man see u

buenos aires probably gonna be real unstable soon, but maybe that's the attraction?

send post cards plz

why does jergins hate america

it's not america; it's just us.

in the future, there will be l& board.

it is almost moving day

thread of loving the world too much!!

i am considering not studying anymore for exam good idea or bad. like i just wanna get other stuff done instead.

why is buenos aires gonna be unstable (again)

stop studying you won't learn anything new now.

yeah i didn't actually *start* studying but it's ok

it's take-home though, right? you will be fiiiiiiiiiiiine.

yeah i looked at the old exams (which were 48 hours instead of 8) and i was like ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

guess papers?

^^^why this lady's runnin the joint!

send me solved sample paper for level 3 14th amendment class plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ok i can download it at 9 then i am done at 5 but i have to finish paper tonight too. then it will be Moving Day from here on out

good luck usa!!!

today is my last day of office work and i have a side job tomorrow night, then it will be Moving Day for me, too!

things are happening for the ladies of the sand box and i couldn't be more proud

what about me

oh gosh, i didn't even think i needed to say it

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x278/mdseay/Congratulations/proud.jpg

blurrrrrrrrrrgh

is it over

no lol i have 80 more minutes

wait what why are you here! get to work!

ok i'm done now

well good for you. were you brilliant?

no but it's ok. he said we could have 5,000 words and i only wrote 3,600! oh well. fastest 8 hours of my life

3,608 if you count what you wrote here

Congrats, harbl!

I just left work forever. Kind of terrified!!

i hope 2 finish paper before i go to bed but i dunno

i'm done. i guess.

hooray!

my parents are gonna be here in like a hour and i have a lot of moving day stuff to do still ˘\(o_º)/˘

i have so much to do!
omg

groovin day

they are still not here because my mom wanted to take a detour to "see lake erie" ooh ahh. i am moving in 2 days omg.

hahaha lake erie!

scared

my landlords are not returning calls to verify my residence. 2 days worht of calls. fuck these ladies. if they cost me my apartment i will be like daaammmnnnnn.

F*** YOU BASTARD LANDLORDS FOR NOT ANSWERING THE PHONE!!!! I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TIMES YOU EMAIL, THEY NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU!!!:LSDKGJ:SLDKGJ

these people are dense. i think they are being purposefully obnoxious!

:(

are you in baltimore?

nope, tomorrow

but wtf am i doing leaving so fast argh

i have 2 weeks to pack and i am already freaking out!

hi :((((((((((

:) ?

yeah just v v v tired & kinda alone feeling lol

yeah, i anticipate that happening :(

y'all gonna be ok. we're all gonna be okay.

say goodbye to the majestic peaks of ohio for us

ok i am taking a vacation this week before i start studying but i already feel pretty bored. i wonder what things i should do. halal? movies?

oh yeah i wanna see tyson

yay! i finally got apartment approved!!!!
happy dance!

! details plz !

middle of QA

lease in my inbox what what!

i will have what sounds like a v large one bedroom in the middle of the hill (big up to jaq for casing the joint for me!).

by yourself, yeah? how long is the lease? what vintage is the building?

http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp287/jessie1218/Others%20gif/Questions-1.gif

the building is mid-century - nothing special architecturally, but alllll minnnneeeee. it's month-to-month so if it turns out to be horrible, i can go elsewhere :)

oh that's great, teheresa! go mid-C!!

just a few blocks from kerry park, too! for teh romanting, should i ever figure out how to do that sort of thing.

you've probably already told us this, but what date can you move in?

Lease begins June 10! I am back from Peru on the 14th and then I will come out a few days later :)

holey moley that's soon
and awesome

when are you leaving?

no date set, though i'll be gone much of the second half of june and the first half of july

:(

oh hell i'll be around a lot though too

is this like what they say when your parents get divorced?
"don't worry, honey, you'll still see me all the time!"

we are one step closer to MEGAFAP!

where is estela?

i'm here, but i've been v busy, my father-in-law is visiting from l.a. and then my parents showed up from nz as well and on thursday we are going to uluru (aka ayers rock, where the dingo took the baby) plus i have been very keen on the telephone lately, normally i hate it but lately i have been talking to my sister in nz almost daily like i used to and now we are addicted to each other again.

i always tell my friend to go for a picnic at hanging rock but then it seems mean because i don't want him to disappear but maybe that only happens to girls who go there?

anyway, i'm glad you are having a lovely time! i talked to my sister in peru last night and it was so much fun! i'm jealous you can talk every day!

moving day is june 17.
wow!

omg this is hard.

yes it is

i have too much stuff to move again by myself so i am trying to purge. like i can definitely get rid of all my textbooks and some other books. and eat the canned food i was hoarding. but then what?

ditch the sex toys, drug paraphernalia, fat clothes, 10 year old shoes, jr high mash notes, vcr, mormon bible, color-by-numbers paintings (that was a phase, wasn't it), jane goodall video, and extra forks. that should lighten your load.

lots of shoes to ditch.
i am really torn about books/notes because a lot of it is stuff i may need to reference in the future? but it's too time consuming to go through it ALL and figure out what's REALLY important.

i was actually considering getting rid of my plates and bowls i bought as a set from target in 2004. it was $10 for 4 complete place settings. i can eat off my one melamine plate and bowl. i could also get rid of all forks and spoons except just one set lol. not like i cook for anyone ever!

FAT CLOTHES????

am0n dinner date already fell thru saaaaaad

you heard me hussy i said FAT CLOTHES

you were gonna have a dinner date with am0n?

aw, i'm sorry it didn't work out, jergs.

i am going to leave my roommates most of my dishes i think?
actually, the shipping part is easy because ups can pick up from my house and drop off to new house. it's just the packing. and needing of boxes.

saw not one but TWO people in my train car tonight with stacks of boxes.
r0ss asked me if we should jump them.
i said no, but kinda regretting it now.

is there a liquor store near where you love? they should have tons of wine boxes.

i don't know about love but there is a liquor store near where i lol.

whoops lol @ posting while talking

try to love near every liquor store

I'D LIKE TO THANK THE 12TH AVE LIQUOR STORE FOR MY FIRST AND THIRD CHILD

the bottle shoppe is to blame for my first and third abortions.

May 19, 2009 when moving day became 'a very moving day' abc after school special

but it's may 20 and we've already forgotten all about it.

never forget

what was to blame for your second abortion

i can't believe you would even bring that up, max. have some tact.
these are very personal and private matters for a woman.

yeah it gets hard to keep track after a while

it was lingbert wasnt it, hes to blame for everything

ugh this sucks

do i use that^ for another abortion joke or is this Moving On Day

take yr pick. a;lsdkjg

i sold two items of furniture today :)

and i think we got our subletter for june 1 which saves me mad $$$$$$$$$$$

would like it if a dude =
sublet
a chick
sublette

i would like it, too.

sublette fell through.
now there is a potential other one but not til july 1 which means paying more $ for me :(

moving would be easier if friends with wine didn't come over to distract.

i mean "help"

hey at least now u won't have to haul the wine across the country

that would be a great point if it wasn't a bottle of wine purchased 5 min before friend came over!

a great point

am going to take this out of context and pat myself on the back

Great point. Admin cool boy!!!

i am really nervous!

be around other people that are interesting, preferably not just women. that way you will be automatically thinking about something else. be adventurous. if you are high on adrenalin, it is less likely that you will be horny because you are stimulating your parasympathetic nervous system. (you get horny when your sympathetic nervous system is at work)

uh, i suppose i learned this in physiology. haha it was useful for something

* 3 years ago

i hope when i move i will be a socially active

the first six months in a new city have always been the most difficult for me, no matter how many people i knew or how prepared i felt

yeah i feel kind of lonesome also my head itches

somehow i feel like my first 6 months in new york were easyish and then everything got really hard later on.
i do not expect that will happen this time around, though.

harbl, i know someone who would be yr friend (sorry if that is creepy!).

my parents are not really helping w/ the productivity.
i ran out of boxes.

you girls with your box woes. if you lived here you could join The Box Collective. it goes like this: you store your boxes in my basement till you need them again, or till another member needs them. there are always enough boxes for everyone! tehresa, you should join when you get here. harbl, you should start one of your own.

i know......................but....................*SiGh*

i did not mean to elicit a sigh :(

that is a great idea, lxy!
i will have lots of boxes.

i feel dumb because i recycled a bunch like, 3 months ago in a fit of closet cleaning. durr.

i am really tired.

your boxes will be safe and in fine company.

lol the sigh was not about boxes

aw lol sorry

lol "boxes"

lolboxes

i have an abundance of boxes

if you want to mail them to me i will store them in my basement

k

I went to buy some more boxes and the dudes said lol all the nyu kids moved out and bought all the boxes and I was sad.

harbl, you should mail your boxes to tehresa, and she can put them in my basement.

it could be her birthday present from you!

That would be so awesome!

she shoulda got some boxes from me and took them with her on the bolt bus duh! you can't get boxes from grocery or liquor store?

Yeah I was just so tired and it was raining and I just wanted to get the boxes and go home.

yeah i was gonna say also copier paper boxes from a library or kinkos but i guess you can't ship them

btw the bolt bus was like a dream compared to hell bus

too bad about the waiting list. i've always wanted to live on a boat

Moving certainly brings out some interesting sides of people

i feel lonesome

i'm moved by that t. silaviver

tehrez, tell your story: you'll be here when? where will you be? when will we hang out? will the peru postcards arrive before you do?

Moving day is so soon! I am really nervous!!!!!
I will arrive c. 3pm on wednesday. I will go to my very own, very empty apartment on queen anne first and then we can hang out? (that day or on subsequent days -- I have no plans other than job hunting and figuring out the city, etc.).
Sisterza says post cards take 7-10 days to arrive and I mailed them Monday so it is basically a race at this point!

i predict you and the postcards will arrive on the same day!

yes, let's hang out. it will be grand to see you again.

I started really freaking out about moving on the plane last night! What the hell am I doing????

i haven't stopped freaking out about moving

:(

lyfe

lol @ lingmobile

ling has a flashy-looking car!

jergz does this mean you won't be around early september?

we'll see. probably. i think i might head out september 20th or so.

sorry to have missed you too! i thought about you while i was there yesterday. it was such a Palo Alto family clusterfuck though, and i knew it'd be that way, that i figured trying to get in touch would end up not working out.

it's okay, we had a busy weekend so it would have been tough for us too - at the aquarium down in monterey all day saturday (free fuckin passes! i sacrificed neko case so we could afford to go ($60) and then this old couple asked us if we'd like to get in free as their guests!), spent all night making books, sunday in SF meeting up with an older couple we know from the bukowski forum.

september is looking good, not sure if we're gonna fly or drive, and can't organise anything till i've received a date for my stupid green card interview (because it would be my luck that we'd book flights and then find out interview was on one of the planned days away), but i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to visit!

wait, you have to come here for the green card interview?

nooo i mean i can't book a trip out of town, because i might have to be in SF for the interview - i won't know the date till i get the letter, and i can't reschedule it if it clashes with other plans already made

that is a nice car.
one day i will buy one.

iirc he doesn't like it but i don't really know why.
maybe he is too tall.

i want a toyota corolla is that stupid of me maybe i should get like a camaro instead

I want a Honda why because they break less.
Sometimes I really miss my old integra but it was manual and there's no way I'd get a manual in Seattle.

The ups guy left bc my boxes were not in the hall (I couldn't leave them there over night!) I hope he comes back soon.

Whereeerr isss heee?

i didn't get emotional til ally started tearing up and now i just can't stop crying.

:(

we will :) soon!!

i mean, i'm no ally, but seattle's cool. good things ahead, you. and friends here so.

well, i AM an ally, if you know what i mean. it's not my name but i am it. one. you know.

it is technically moving day.
i am so scared.

but <3

and jaq!
wow!
nicest ilxor in history!

i mean
lxy
you are a treat, too <3

agghhh that's a yell now i feel like a jerk

what a disaster for brooklyn

i saw theresa cry

blame ally

omg moving day

i can't believe i am sitting here drinking coffee right now.

i am also drinking coffee right now

im sitting here but im not drinking coffee

i am drinking coffee too. however i am not sitting there, i am sitting here.

i might get some coffee

I could use some more but I don't know if my stomach could handle it. Now I will never sit there again.

doesn't it feel weird? maybe it's different because i lived alone but i stayed in the same place for 3 years and i loved my tiny cave apartment and when i was walking out the last time it was just like, wow *tears*

I think I was in too much of a hurry to cry this morning! But when I left my alone places in Rochester I used to get sad.The girl who was supposed to buy my futon stood me up again so now my roommates have a new couch.

I wish this traffic would move faster! Now I am nervous about missing my plane!

i didn't actually cry u_u

Now we are moving but I'm supposed to be at the airport in 10 min which is so not gonna happen.

Ok now I am like woah I am going to live someplace else tonight.

yay, you're on your way!!

i am still drinking coffee, by the way, but now i'm sitting in a different place.

I am on an airplane.

omg.

Now I might cry.

crying's okay. you're gonna get here and then! hurray!

aww tza i feel your pain!

when i was moving here, i was pretty calm about the whole thing, you know, i didn't cry once except when i said goodbye to my housemate's dog (lol), i was just so excited to finally be with jordan. and then i was on the plane. and the plane ride was really awful. andthen 11.5 hrs later the pilot says we're almost there, and that's when i started completely freaking out:

OMG WHAT AM I DOING
OMG I'M FLYING TO A COUNTRY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD THAT I'VE NEVER BEEN TO AND MY ENTIRE LIFE IS PACKED INTO TWO SUITCASES
OMG WHAT IF I HATE IT
OMG THIS IS SCAAAAARY
OMG THINK I'M GONNA THROW UP

the thing to keep in mind is that there's a time limit on how long this awful feeling will last. it's not forever! it might only be a few days, or a week! and then it'll be great.

and then we're coming to visit!

first night in a new place is always THE WORST for me

she's on the ground, people

it's too late to turn back now.................

good luck tsa

good luck transportation security administration

Wow this is weird!

yay!

I am sitting here drinking coffee again.

hurray hurray! i'm gonna go get some coffee too. cuz that's what we do here. at least that's what i do here.

I had a Cuban coffee. It was delicious! I walked past blockbuster and wondered if I should join so I have something to occupy my time until there are internets in my house?

library carddddddddd

Oh right. But when I went to the awesome library before all the movies were really picked over and not very plentiful :(

gonna go to this: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/messing-with-the-moore/Content?oid=1705621 tomorrow if you wanna join, lx!

also how is fremont fest thing? maybe i will wander up on sunday!

yes, tehresa, i'd love to. looks awesome.

you must mean the solstice parade? i've never been to it, on account of i hate parades.

lots of people like it, though. my friend tammy rode in the naked bike thing a couple of years ago, and she's pretty hot so i guess it makes sense.

me, i don't want to see tammy naked. not my thing. plus she wears cute clothes so why would i want her to take them off fer christssake?

Lol I was talking about 'Fremont fair' of which the solstice parade is part. I figured it would be a good thing for exploring that neighborhood. Plus it'd be fun to walk over the bridge.

oh well, i guess i don't know what that is. i don't pay much attention to stuff like that. but yeah, walking over the bridge does sound fun.

i mean, i'm not gonna do that, but it sounds fun.

Lol I think the walk would be a little out of the way for you.

we are having a not moving day.

lately every day has been a not moving day for me

i am completely unmoved

Sometimes I feel like I'm just staying in a hotel for a few days. A hotel with no furniture and an air mattress.

I just annoyed my first neighbor by using both washing machines so he has to wait 30 min. O_o

have u gone furniture shopping yet? would love to come do this with you! just found the perfect little desk for our paper cutter - $15!! thriftstores are my <3

I did some browsing @ ikea but also I need to check freecycle and craigslist. I'm sure I will not have a full apt of stuff by September though!

I think my boxes are coming tomorrow. Then I can make fake furniture and/or forts.

forts, for real

well ok, we're coming to seattle that partic weekend because ytth has a biking event on, so maybe if he lets me out of that u and i could go thriftstoring?

http://www.twitpic.com/84cpk

Begging for a fort ^^^

All my Brooklyn friends from different groups are running into each other today and texting me about it and it is making me a little sad.

<3 i know that sorrow well but i think it is good to move around some.

Yes definitely! Just a wistful evening hearing from everyone at once.

Oh hay I finally met my landlady!

haha, finally! is she okay? must be, sounds pretty chill to leave it this long.

Well, she went on vacation 2 days after I got here so.

She seems really nice!!

kinda miss my old neighborhood today for some syupid reason :-/

stupid

what does it mean when a realtor shows an apartment to multiple people at the same time? what if many of them want it, how does he decide who to give it to? i am going to look at this place today. email said "i am showing it today at 3:30." isn't that weird for apartments? i'm annoyed. i'm going to scowl at the other people.

some places listed on craigslist have "open house." why???? should be like, you list it, someone replies, you show it to them and if they want it they get it amirite?

they do that all the time here. i think they have to give it to the first person who applies/qualifies. do they do that? doubt it.

i think you should be very friendly and charming -- in other words, your normal self -- and woo everyone with your wit, grace, and kindness, so that by the end of the showing they all want you to have it, even your apartment competitors.

very friendly and charming -- in other words, your normal self

LOL

my apt in ohio i got by being the most alert craigslist reloader and calling 10 min after it was posted :)

ok i am applying for this place but i need my mom to cosign (ugh) and that means i have to fax her the application but i don't know where to faxxx! this throws a monkey wrench in my plans for being the fastest

does the INTERNET! store have a fax you cld use?

INTERNET ! store has nothing! also it's closed, remember?

oh i thought it just moved :(

INTERNET! moving day

yeah it did move i guess, ask amon (rip)

Can you scan it and email to yr mom as a pdf instead?

good point! when my landlady was faxing the application to me and she didn't know what she was doing and thought it didn't work, she had her friend's husband pdf and email it to me. joke was on all of them though, because the fax came through 3 times!

if you scan/pdf it and send it to me, i can fax it to your mom, harbl

alternatively, you could take a photo of it, post it here, and give your mom the link

i don't have scanner :(

call and read it to her, have her type it up, sign it and email it to you

lol

i hope i can figure out something because it is a cuet apartment, it has a reasonable-sized kitchen and also a loft that looks really fun! like you could put a futon and a tv up there and it would be like a secret tiny room. imagine all the things you could do up there! you can also hide from the cops or the national guard in the event of a disaster. i don't want to get too excited though, maybe the other guy who was looking at it after me will get it but he looked flaky

that sounds fun! i wish i had a secret loft. maybe i could make a closet hideout.

it sounds nice, i hope you get it.

i bought a cheap fax machine last year because of days like this and now every time i have to use it i think, i love you dear little helpful old fashioned fax machine right here at my house.

http://www.carneypostmanplus.com/

please note: the name of that business is Postman Plus Carney, which is causing all kinds of fucked up images to swirl around in my head.

harford road is not nearby! i would check google maps if this internet was not so slowwwww

oh well, they're closed by now anyway.

Postman Plus Carney is still haunting me.

is there a fedex or kinkos store nearby? i have faxed from there before. or staples/office depot maybe?

yes, that is quite an image!!!!
xpost

http://www.carneypostmanplus.com/images/pics/redhat.gif

i guess there is fedex/kinkos downtown? i just want something closer! i'd have to do this tomorrow i just always end up spending half the day on dumb tasks and never starting studying until like 1. i kind of want to just ask the guy to fax it for me but i feel like it reflects poorly on my abilities

looking at lots of craiglist ads for apartments makes me crazy, the way they use words. are realtors humans?

xp

if you glowered at everyone, he will be too frightened to have bad thoughts about you.

if you charmed everyone, he will welcome the opportunity to do the faxing favor.

you can't lose.

do you think this place will do it? http://www.ubalt.edu/template.cfm?page=207 college print shops usually do faxing, right? i bet i need a student id to get in there though. colleges hate when homeless people go in the student center!

can you flash your old law school id and hope they don't notice?

is there a mail boxes, etc. type place like the one lxy found but closer?

xp they usually have a swipe thing at the door at these places, no?
there is copycat printing, i might try that. no mailboxes, no kinkos except downtown. though maybe copycat and kinkos are equidistant now that i think about it

oh jk copycat is closed on saturday and downtown kinkos is closed forever so i have to go to the one that is kind of far. i guess i'll take a long walk tomorrow morning instead of running, i haven't run since may anyway what's another day

which copy cat are were you looking at? there's a fedex/kinkos place really close to the one on charles street.

today is the one year anniversary of my last moving day - all the way from nz to usa!

http://api.ning.com/files/RdwEjVjPfSvrgEM5tnk6DUbgiPb0mknEkKpKBtLmgDgLm1fdbdjJi8*jHOxlulnqyGa18wYtHLdlKNyQfSh76J-e3AK6zk3X/applause.gif

lxy what? i thought kinkos was at 3003 charles street or something. that's 18 blocks away. copycat on charles is only 10 blocks away, but closed.
also my mom doesn't have a fax machine anymore so all i need is a copy! might just go to library but it's not open until 10.

k i copied it at the library and mailed it and dropped off my part of the application. hoping hoping hoping.

good luck, baltimore

yay! he already said i can have it! :))))))))))

hooray congrats!

finally gonna have a reasonably-sized kitchen and a grown-up stove too! i have like no furniture though. i'm gonna get a bed but i left my table and one of my bookcases in ohio.

when we finally have sandbox fap baltimore all the sandboxers can sleep in the loft together <3

<3

i have the biggest apartment i've ever had all to myself but i still only have a bed and a coffee table (more like plant table. daisy and the herbs live there). i think i need to buy a vacuum today because waiting for a free one is not working.

yes this will be the biggest apt i've ever had! i can't believe how long i spent in my last apartment with it being so tiny but i sort of enjoyed it sometimes

i had a mini shopvac that i bought with my lexisnexis points and it was TERRIBLE. it picked up some things, and it looked sort of clean, but there was still always my hair all over the place and the wheels would fall off if you picked it up, and it of course doesn't have a bag. i hate how expensive real vacuums are. anyway don't buy a small shopvac even though it seems like an attractive option (cheap)

how long does it take to get internet set up? i recall in rochester waiting for 23 days without internet because of big fall rush, and then in columbus it was no problem at all (though i called a month ahead i think), but i don't know what's normal. i guess i'll wait until i sign the lease at least.

i had to wait a week from when i ordered til it was supposed to be activated but then it didn't actually get activated til 5 days later so... week and a half to two weeks? rochester was always super slow with the hookups.

yeah i have been putting off the vacuum purchase bc they are so $$$$$$ but now i feel like i can not wait any longer.

yay! he already said i can have it! :))))))))))

― spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, July 11, 2009 12:22 PM

you charmed him, didn't you? XDDDDDDDDDD

oh i must have! <3 u stuart! ;-) ;-) ;-)

i will finally be living on biddle st. so i can lol at it to myself like i did in this thread http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=44&threadid=1701

!!! well done<3

now wondering if i really can carry all of my belongings 1.5 blocks or if it's worth getting a van. i could do it over a couple days maybe............

i was gonna say, don't you already live on biddle st?!
xpost

i bet you can carry them, slowly. enlist friends.

this thread is broken

now it's not. hmm.

now i have to find a fax!

There's a FedEx\Kinko's above the Metropolitan Market on Mercer!

:D

i thought i remembered a ups store on roy, but i'll just go there! thanks!

a ups store on roy

Yes! There is - it would be closer. I always forget about that building, it was still being built when I lived there so somehow doesn't quite exist in my mental universe.

if i were you i'd go to the one above met-ma just to have an excuse to go to met-ma

i went to the one above met-ma but i did not go to met-ma why bc it is $$$$

yes. i love it very much, though.

that's where i buy my fancy soap! fortunately my fancy soap lasts long, long time.

what kind?

when i first got here i bought a fancy cheese. rosemary asiago. it was so good. so $$$. i can't buy it anymore.

I used to buy giant expensive olives there, when it was Larry's. Grandiose Cerignola. Also, v. spendy butter. Those were the days.

walked by new apt on the way to the library. so exciting!!!! it's 2 doors down from a gay bar though am i gonna be kept awake by gay every night?

lol @ kept awake by gay

you'll probably be ok

it's not the hippo is it?

nonono i am smart enough not to live by the hippo! it looks like a more quiet bar, not a "club"

is it wrong that i'm a little disappointed?
i don't know why but the hippo has fascinated me ever since

eman i meant to ask you about this - i had an acct at work for the HIPPO CLUB in baltimore. it is for the gays. do you go there often?
