catastrophe '06: #18
my quaint home on Mcgrath has fallen apart.
this is not surprising at all.
especially for me.
another case of a young girl driven to desperate measures:
i was in a predicament where the property on which my beautiful Acadian Thruway bachlorette pad resided had been sold, forcing me and the landlord to find new homes. in 2 days' notice.
i needed a home close to campus, immediately available, decent condition, and affordable.
the "fate" that i found so favorable came from that fact that i found exactly what i needed when i needed it.
the fact that it would only be made possible by moving in with Fred under MY condition of being only "roommates" had to be overlooked in light of the situation.
i'd like to clarify that i was never a dumb, starry-eyed broad about the success of moving in with that man. i was always aware that it would only be a matter of time until it ended.

-i understand that i'm "fucking retarded" (jessica) for allowing any of it to happen.
but somehow it's working out well. this time.
just like all lifetime movies that climax with a lake drag and end in a courtroom or prison scene.
details aside, that time came, about 36 hours ago.
trailer-park antics on his part, boo-fuckng-hoo, some tears, and then sour eggs/milk all over his car,
and... tada, i'm over it.
really.
so it's almost summer, semester's end.
more options for rent will be available than there was back in February.
more reasonable options for a decent roommate if it comes down to it.
all i plan to do this summer is work at this nursery, a new job that i actually enjoy, cultivate a lush garden, and knock out two independent study courses. i want nothing reckless, nothing stressful. the past 4 months have provided more than enough.
i'm looking for a nice housing situation where i can accomplish just this.
any tips?
