Finding an apartment in this area is enough to make you want to slit your wrists. You wanna know how much students pay to share a room (that's one room, not an apartment) near Cal? $600. That's right. Those rich biotches going to Berkeley shell out $600 to share a room in an apartment, dorm-style. If you want your own room, you are looking at around $1000. Jesus fucking christ. Where's the razor?
Jut and I are sad about this every day. Paying a million dollars to live in a shit hole where it is 70 degrees every day. He told me on the phone yesterday that his sister's new 2bdrm apartment in Pittsburgh costs about $650. And it was nice. But then again, you have to live in Pittsburgh.
I met up with some folks last night who just rented a big empty house. We drank some beers. They were alright. The one guy was actually very cool, but the girl was stand-offish and asked me my sign. Don't ask me my sign stupid girl. It made me hate her. Plus she was the type of person who never laughs, because she is too cool or jaded or insecure or something. It made me feel stupid for laughing. I like laughing. It feels good and things are generally funny.
The place wasn't bad: it had a lot of potential. But I think it may be too far away from public transportation for me, and they had no idea what the utilities were going to cost. Whatevs.
It is extra hard to find a place to live because everyone wants you to be asexual. Single roommates are ideal. But the way I see it is, single roommates bring home strangers sporadically. My predictable boyfriend will visit me once or twice a month for a weekend. But no one wants that. Especially militant lesbians.
OH AND ANOTHER THING--- everyone is PSYCHO about being vegetarian! I'm a vegetarian, but come on, not everyone can eat just like you and it's not going to poison you to have a little chicken in your house. I just hate people who are looking for soulmates to live with!!
anyways, back to the apt. hunting.
