(no subject)
On the heels of all my complaining I was doing last night comes a chipper update!
Today I went to see the LM movie (for free because it was noon and we couldn't find anyone in the cinema to sell us tickets???) then went out to eat with the only friends who have bothered to contact me since I got home (and we've hung out TWICE now btw), then we went back to the cinema and saw The Hobbit in 3D! What a good day wow.
Then I get home and met... my new roommate!
We're doing a four people to a two bedroom apartment deal, so she's literally my roommate and not my flatmate or what-have-you, but she's adorable and a film major and partway through our conversation went on a small rant about Disney secretly promoting homophobia and when she asked if I had any pets I said no but I really want a hedgehog and she flailed her arms around in the air and offered to be a party to my dream of having an underground hedgehog breeding ground in NYC. Plus I don't need to bring ANY furniture and don't need to sign a lease! I can stay till about November 2013 or less, whatever works, and if I'm enjoying myself and the rent doesn't go up she's planning to sign the lease again and if we can afford it we might go down to two people with separate rooms.
It's East Harlem, by the way, and the other two flatmates will be boys, one of which is apparently the sweetest guy ever and the other of which is TBA.
Anyway, it's set, I can put in my notice at Target, I can buy my train ticket, because on February 1st I will finally be moving to NYC!
Oh and did I mention--the rent is $350 a month???
Now I'm trying to figure out temp agencies because my savings will run out pretty fast after I pay my deposit.
Oh, and from now on this is what the "my roommate" tag will be about, so yay!
New Year's Resolution: quit looking back and missing all those people who don't actually miss me.
ETA: THERE IS ALSO A NEW EPISODE OF ELEMENTARY AJFKALDSJFKLSA;FKA;L I LOVE TODAY
