So, I'm staying in St Kilda, in Paul's apartment while he is in Pt Douglas for a few days. Hopefuly, it will only be for a few days. But he is gone for three weeks and him and his flat mate have said I can stay here for as long as I need to. Poor Anna (the lovely young lady I will be moving in with) is renting rooms in Motels as she is still farely new to Melbourne, and doesn't really know anyone.
The house hunting is driving me crazy. We are looking at this area and, the longer we stay here, the more I start to like it. It was never one of my fave areas. Think Glenelg only a little more seedy and with a lot more homeless/prostitutes.
In the last week we have handed in at least six applications and been turned down for every one! I don't know what we are doing wrong... I could go back on Anna and get a place by myself, as there are a few offers made by various people regarding spare rooms in shared accommodation. However, I don't break promises. Or at least I try damn hard not to, and Anna needs a flat mate cos, like me, she can't afford to rent on her own.
It's all so frustrating. We found our place in Clarke St within two days, and had moved in after only four. I've got mom and dad on my back. Mom doing her winging/crying thing. "I want to come over to be with you." "Let me come and stay in a motel with you and look after you..." No offence mom, but what could you possibly do? A parent hovering over your shoulder crying all the time isn't a very comforting thought. Nor is it productive.
But anyway. That is the update. Everytime I get a call from Steph, it is to abuse me about something else I've done or, wanting to know how soon my stuff will be out of the room. Like, it will be out when I have somewhere else to put it! She has plans for that room. I have two theories but I won't go jumping to conclusions yet.
Last I spoke to LeighAnne, she abused me about loosing a spare key (not that I ever saw a spare key or knew one existed). I wasn't even allowed to bring anyone up to the apartment while they were in Adelaide cos Steph didn't want "strange people" hanging about. LeighAnne locked her bedroom door...? and they even asked our mate Ed to check up on the place, though they knew I was gonna be back there. ::le sigh:: Sometimes, it feels like High School never ended.
So, hope you guys are well. Miss ya heaps and thinking about you every day. Will be catching up real soon. Love ya's all! xx
