(no subject)
So, things have been great lately. Went to a show of short animation films on Saturday night and then out to happy hour sushi..12 bucks for 2 rolls, 2 orders of calamari and 2 saki's! Shit! Last night I went and had Indian food..which is a nice treat seeing as how there's a lack of it in Pensacola. On Wednesday, I drove out to Fort Collins to get coffee with Tyler and it went surprisingly well. I miss the shit out of that boy and love him deeply. I am okay, though, with where we stand right now. This feeling of being content with the situation comes from the feeling of content I have finally found within myself, with myself. Maybe someday we'll manage it, and I certainly hope so. But right now, life's too interesting here in Boulder to not be living.
I move into a new house on March 12th, perhaps even earlier. It's about a 5 minute drive from downtown and so biking will be an option in the late spring/summer. The rent is $300 with a total of $50 in utility bills and it's a month to month leasing-with a 30 days notice to move out time. The price couldn't get any better and I won't take anything other than month to month, for obvious reasons. The house is small but kept up nicely. The main thing is that I get the master bedroom and so it's not too small at all. There are 2 main reasons that the rent is so cheap--these being: 1) Tracey (roommate number one) has two WHITE Siberian Huskies. They are so sweet, but this means I will be carrying a lint brush with me at all times. And 2) There is only one bathroom between 3 girls. This shouldn't be too much of a problem because I've never really been a bathroom dweller. I mean, let's face it..sometimes I may even stink. Ha.
So, now, about my roommmates:
Tracey:
Tracey is a 40 year old retired paramedic. She moved to Boulder for a more stress free lifestyle and tends to be the typical "Boulder Granola". Meaning she's pretty much a older hippie. She's now a hypnotherapist and I'm not sure how I feel about that quite yet..haha. She's recently (past 2 years) divorced and is now trying to have a household that has a family feel and works as a community. Nice lady, although I can see her having a strange side. Strange is okay, though.
Taylor:
Taylor is real strange, too. She's going to CU for creative writing (go figure!) and drives a blue mini cooper with the british flag stickers and all, hah. Her room is a cluster fuck, equipped with Byork and Smashing Pumpkin posters. She has a pet rat..oh, and she takes trapeze classes every Saturday. Nice girl, although I can see her having a strange side. Strange is okay, though.
Needless to say, I am quite interested in living there. Seems mellow enough and now I won't be the weird roommate-in fact, I like that they are weird in a way different than myself. Keeps thing interesting and also keeps are lives at a nice level of friendliness with enough space. I've decided that, eventually, I will live in a house downtown but it's going to have to work in a way where I meet someone I can live with who is willing to pay around $500 a month. Also, this house will allow me to save money for the next adventure.
Lolita's is coming along quite nicely. We've hired someone for the graveyard shift and so now I'm no longer the Lolita's virgin. I'm working at a more bizarre place than I ever have before and I can't express how nice it is! I love my customers, all the regulars and I love that it's so centrally located.
In more Boulder news, my weird co-worker friend has turned out to be an alcoholic. I definitely suspected this the one day she offered me a shot of whiskey at 1 am..but I gave her the benefit of the doubt because not all 1 am whiskey consumers have drinking problems..er..right? She's a wonderful girl and, as different to me as she is, I enjoy her company at Lolita's. I am making other friends, though. Leigh Ann is a 25 year old who moved here about 4 years ago from Alabama. Nice that she's also from the deep south and oddly comforting to hear a southern accent. I practically always hang out with Mark and Dillian, which is nice-even though I miss having extremely close lady friends. In due time.
As far as school goes, I am finishing up (still) my 2nd essay and am still waiting to receive my letter of recommendation in the mail. Should be here any day and, come to think of it, I haven't been to my P.O. Box today. After that, all I have left is the TB testing and then I'm set to send it off. If all goes according to plan, I will be starting school in July...!
So that's, in a nutshell, my life as of the past couple of weeks up until the present. Boring, eh?!
