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.

tehersa (tehresa), Friday, 26 June 2009 00:57 (fourteen years ago) link

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

estela, Friday, 26 June 2009 01:48 (fourteen years ago) link

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

tehersa (tehresa), Friday, 26 June 2009 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh hay I finally met my landlady!

tehersa (tehresa), Monday, 29 June 2009 02:19 (fourteen years ago) link

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

lxy, Monday, 29 June 2009 02:31 (fourteen years ago) link

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

She seems really nice!!

tehersa (tehresa), Monday, 29 June 2009 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link

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?

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 10:24 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 15:23 (fourteen years ago) link

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 :)

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 16:17 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 20:09 (fourteen years ago) link

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

te,he (tehresa), Friday, 10 July 2009 20:14 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 20:21 (fourteen years ago) link

oh i thought it just moved :(

te,he (tehresa), Friday, 10 July 2009 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link

INTERNET! moving day

te,he (tehresa), Friday, 10 July 2009 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link

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

jaq, Friday, 10 July 2009 21:13 (fourteen years ago) link

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!

te,he (tehresa), Friday, 10 July 2009 21:17 (fourteen years ago) link

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

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link

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

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link

i don't have scanner :(

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 21:48 (fourteen years ago) link

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

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 22:11 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link

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

te,he (tehresa), Friday, 10 July 2009 22:45 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

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.

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 23:05 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 23:23 (fourteen years ago) link

oh well, they're closed by now anyway.

Postman Plus Carney is still haunting me.

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 23:39 (fourteen years ago) link

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

te,he (tehresa), Friday, 10 July 2009 23:39 (fourteen years ago) link

yes, that is quite an image!!!!

t. silaviver, Friday, 10 July 2009 23:41 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 23:42 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 July 2009 23:45 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

lxy, Friday, 10 July 2009 23:52 (fourteen years ago) link

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!

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 01:24 (fourteen years ago) link

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

te,he (tehresa), Saturday, 11 July 2009 01:45 (fourteen years ago) link

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

te,he (tehresa), Saturday, 11 July 2009 01:45 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 01:53 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 02:02 (fourteen years ago) link

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

lxy, Saturday, 11 July 2009 02:44 (fourteen years ago) link

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

smoove operator, Saturday, 11 July 2009 04:10 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 11:34 (fourteen years ago) link

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

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 11 July 2009 15:12 (fourteen years ago) link

good luck, baltimore
