Moving Day

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

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

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
