(no subject)
as of october 1st, i will be living in a castle.
i'm hoping mary and gerrard don't give me a hard time about only giving a months notice.. but it came up very suddenly.
there i am last sunday.. going to visit ryan, an old friend from toronto, at his new place in ottawa. he moved onto pretoria ave. at the beginning of the glebe, and a beautiful st. we walk to the beer store (which is a very small block away) and there i see it "FOR RENT-$1500". i instantly memorize the phone number while ryan's all, "you'll never remember that". i write it down when we get back to his place. i call the guy on monday and mike and i go look at the place that afternoon.... it's fuckin sweet. kelly comes to see it the next day.. we get home, measure her room.. it's all going to fit. call the guy that night... we're moving in.
here are some details:
huge front porch, huge back deck w/BBQ, closed in backyard with garden, hard wood floors throughout minus the kitchen that has black and white checkered tiles, tons of counter space, brand new fridge, retro-ish stove that i'm not sure how to use, security system, large bathroom, laundry.. did my mention that my room has two closets and a seperate porch?
brought it down to $1400, there's no lease, no last months deposit... he's even going to paint the rooms whatever colour we want. it almost seems too good to be true.
house warming anyone?
word.
