Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Also, which one is yours, so Dan knows where to look for the iTunes stuff?
WindSparrow or Daniel, mine is the Compaq. It’s also the one the power cord goes to.
Awwww…Cash’s twin! No fun! Ok~ma headed her way.
LIAR LIAR BRA ON FIRE.
BWAH! And, yes, I was in bed…

I’m trying to decide how to schedule my day. sj and teacup guy are coming for lunch, which is going to be so nice. I was going to go clean at the Cambridge apartment this morning, but got up later than I meant to. So, now I’m wondering if it’s worth it (it takes at least an hour to get there and then another hour to get home, since I don’t have mom’s car anymore). I’m starting to think that I’ll just go over there and meet everyone for the Pizza and Curb Party tonight, then do the cleaning afterwards. Part of me really wants to be at the apartment till 11:59pm anyway. So, this way I’d have something to do. Then I can just take a cab home.
That way I can clean up things a bit here. I’ve been bringing stuff over from the Cambridge apartment that I don’t know what I’m gonna do with yet. It’s kind of strewn all over the apartment. I’d like it to be a bit more straightened up when I have guests for lunch. I know sj and teacup guy won’t care (because they’re sweeties), but I care. I like having it nice.
I think that’s the new plan.
ION, I have drafted this letter to leave with the keys when I leave the apartment tonight. Any thoughts?
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Landlord,
Enclosed are the three sets of keys for Cambridge apartment. The apartment is empty, clean, and ready for the new tenants.
Please return our security deposit within the next 30 days. You can mail it to:
vw bug in Roslindale
I will distribute the funds to Not!Emily and Emily.
Sincerely,
vw bug for Emily, Not!Emily, and vw bug
Also, retardo Not!Emily didn't leave his keys. So, I'm going to go get a copy made today, so I can leave three sets. Stupido.
eta: As far as the letter is concerned, I'm going for short, sweet, to the point, and no indication that they may not have heard the last from me.
hey vw, glad to see you are doing better this morning. I spoke to my friend B, who is moving to Northampton, and had arranged to rent a Budget truck today and drive it out there tomorrow. Budget called her the day before yesterday to inform her that there were no trucks available. Apparantly when she called to reserve a truck, did not actually qualify as a "reservation."
She's been having a horrible time of things lately (like, I am nervous that she might kill herself) and is trying to start fresh in Northampton, and the stress of moving in general, and then this... and her family's belittling her over how could this happen? And, UGH.
So she had to hire movers at the last minute and is spending $1200 that she wasn't planning on. Budget rental SUX.
I hope Cash's sister is doing OK.
I wish Tom had more opportunities to socialize without me, but that's because he has none and I worry about him.
So she had to hire movers at the last minute and is spending $1200 that she wasn't planning on. Budget rental SUX.
Oh, god. That's awful. Uhaul does the same kind of thing. At least they called her? I've heard of people showing up at Uhaul and not getting a truck. But, still, that sucks majorly. I'm so sorry. I hope she's gonna be ok.
Oh, and just for the fun of it, I just figured out what the landlords owe us in interest (since they haven't paid yearly, blah, blah, blah). It's an extra $1260 on top of our security deposit. Any betting Bitches that wanna make a wager that that's not gonna be added to our check?
Please return our security deposit within the next 30 days. You can mail it to:
I would change it to read security deposit and interest.
May it all be over soon my dear vw.
Head ~ma to the twin. Ouch.
ion, I need to get my wireless keyboard to work, now.
Oh, dear. Cambridge landlord just called, because she noticed there's still a lot of stuff in the apartment. Huh. Interesting. She hasn't had my permission to be there.
Then she said, "Well, good luck with school and work. I have your phone number, so we'll keep in touch."
My ass. After, well, now, I won't be answering the phone when you call. Or returning your messages, for that matter.
Oh, and she wanted to make sure things would be nice and clean. Well, maybe you should have told your husband to clean up after himself.
Is it midnight yet?
Eww. Evil landlords.
And I knew UHaul sucked, but sorry to hear Budget does too.
what became a huge deal was saying, "Why do you have to exclude people on a penis/no penis basis?"
Heh. Imagine when you're dating another girl, who suddenly wants a....girls night out. Waiiiiiiiit....:) I do know people who've done it on a very butch/femme basis, which kinda cracks me up. I understand the impulse, but come ON!
She hasn't had my permission to be there.
Did you point that out?
Oh, god. That's awful. Uhaul does the same kind of thing. At least they called her? I've heard of people showing up at Uhaul and not getting a truck. But, still, that sucks majorly. I'm so sorry. I hope she's gonna be ok.
Yeah, me too. I guess her mom was quite horrible to her about it, saying, "Are you trying to tell me that there are NO moving trucks in the ENTIRE city of Boston?" Um, YES!
Anyone else have the "which route do you take and why don't you go my way which is obviously infinitely more better?" arguement?
Oy. Short list of things I obviously know how to do better than DH, in spite of the fact that the end results between our two methods are virtually indistinguishable:
- Chop onions
- fast-forward on the Tivo
- fold laundry
- grate cheese
- give directions
Budget called her the day before yesterday to inform her that there were no trucks available. Apparantly when she called to reserve a truck, did not actually qualify as a "reservation."
Yeah, UHaul does the same thing. To be fair, I think it's more the fault of people not returning their trucks on time -- they keep their prices low by not having extra trucks around. (Zipcar has the same problem.)
WindSparrow or Daniel, mine is the Compaq. It’s also the one the power cord goes to.
Mine, alas, was a Compaq as well. Must go shower. God, two more days...
