Taking control of my housing destiny!
May. 15th, 2005 01:58 pmSometimes, I'm an idiot.
And sometimes, I break out of the patterns that were causing me to be an idiot with a moment of realization.
I just had one about my housing situation.
I don't need to be trying to fit myself into an existing group housing situation on craigslist or from some other source. I can take control of my housing destiny. I can plan on looking for a two-bedroom unfurnished apartment in the Arlington area for $1,000-ish and then spliting the cost with a person of my choosing. Of my choosing! I don't have to try to compete with everyone else on craigslist and moving into their apartments with restrictive rules on overnight guests or showering times or chore charts! I don't have to worry about small bedrooms and limited storage space amidst existing set ups! Instead, people should be competing to live with me! Take that, world!
I've been kind of...pissy and low recently, due to hormones and the housing search and the impending being out of housing and the onset of humid weather and lack of stuff to do at work and the general feeling that the world was making me its bitka. But--take that world! Emily strikes back!
