When I moved to PA, I took a weekend trip here a few weeks before the move and looked at a few apartments and decided which one to rent. I'd made calls during the previous week to set up appointments to look at apartments. (I had less than a month to move, though.)
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thrive to spite them
The other thing is I haven't set down a firm date to move, I have an idea but not a firm date, but I'm not sure how about the right script.
We've been talking about this for almost a year now and it's getting to feel more real and of course I have all these anxieties that it's not going to happen.

Happy birthday, Maria!
Meanwhile, on the other side of Earth: watch as I'm trying not to kill people and temper my justified rage. Because I LOVE it when someone tells me he'll do something, I'm trusting her, and then find out after 3 weeks she hasn't lift a finger - after I asked her several times if it's working for her and if she needs help.
Remind me again, why do I trust people?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Because being disapointed and let down sometimes is still a better way to live than never trusting people.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I'm not talking about not trusting friends, etc.. I'm talking about working with people, academically and in work, and in volunteering gigs. And you know what? Only rarely, very rarely, I worked with people I can really trust. People that I didn't need to nag and babysit every time.
I have no problem remind people they said they'll do this and that in x or y, and checking up on them. It's tiring sometimes, but I understand that's part of the deal, and why some people choose to work with me - because I check up on people, making sure they're doing whatever needs to be done. It's a problem when I do that, and yet, they can't be bothered telling me when there's a problem.
So, humans - why? Why messing with my mind? Why playing it this way?

I rented a place off craigslist (a sublet) without seeing it, but Plei kindly brought the girl money and got keys for me. One yhing to consider--how quickly do people/places rent? I realized here in Seattle they generally go on craigslist when they're open or not lOng before whereas in DC it was "as soon as the current renters give notice", so a month before. If it wouldn't be lOng could you crash with will for a week til you find a place?

All is well that ends in pizza.
If I didn't have cats things would be going a lot easier.
Yeah, but then having cats makes some things in life go a lot easier. It's a balance thing.
