Okay. We gave it a try. We really did. But I've had the time and sense to realize that the good and happy things that keep me hanging on are goofy friend things, not love things. I keep reminding myself that leaving, really leaving, is not 'giving up'. It doesn't make the whole thing my fault. It's not even really giving up. What am I giving up? He can't give me what I want, and he doesn't even know what he wants for himself.
The respect is gone and without it the love won't come back.
So! This is me, looking for a new place. Please feel free to pass this information along.
....
Our lease is up at the end of June.
My budget for rent is around $600 (my share at the current place is $530.)
Obviously I can't afford a place of my own around here, so I'm looking for a room in a house with other people. I don't care how old they are or what they do. I would love to be with some fellow geeks, would prefer to be with nice people I can chat with once in a while, but really all I need are some considerate roommates who clean up after themselves.
I am looking to move south to the Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale area. I work near Charleston + Arastradero, so anywhere close to that would be fantastic. (I already e-mailed about
this place, which is a bit on the steep side, but it's
walking distance from my office and right near Caltrain and the hustle and bustle of Los Altos. We'll see, though, if they are willing to accept a cat.)
I have a steady job, I pay my bills on time, I don't smoke, and my credit is excellent. I mostly spend my time at home on the computer, watching movies or working out.
My only possible deal-breakers are:
1. I have a cat.
2. I need to be near public transportation - Caltrain or the bus lines on El Camino.
