I've found a new place here in DC. It's about 4 blocks from where I live right now, which is good because I like this area, slightly ghetto though it may be. However, it's a little closer to the ghetto area than before, and further away from Safeway. It IS closer to the Giant (grocery store), and about the same distance from the Metro. It is a great price, and includes all utilities (including cable and internet). Not only do I not have to pay for everything myself, I don't have to worry about setting up my own account for everything. It's clean, a good size, washer/dryer downstairs, and my own kitchen (which is what I've been wanting)! However, the stove is electric (I have gas now and prefer that), and it's a basement unit, which means there's not much light. It also comes furnished (or partially furnished, so I can bring in the stuff I already have), and I think the tv is included. The landlord seems nice, and not as crazy as my current one (who's ok, but a little anal). Anyway, I think I'm gonna go for it (signing the lease tomorrow), and while I'll miss my current roommates and having company, I'll have my own place (!!) which will be great if anyone wants to come visit.
In other news, my little Thai chili plant, which has had 1 chili for the last week or two, has suddenly sprouted about 10 (or more) more. Yay! And a neighbor just offered me a banana plant, but I declined. I'll stick to my little chili plant and stay excited about them.
