Gimme some sugar, baby
Oh, Livejournal! I have news for you! I have secured a dwelling! That is right, I am an official one-third renter of one whole floor of a beautiful house in scenic Athens, Ohio! Here is a picture linked from the posted ad for the downstairs apartment - but the street-level part there is ours! (Eh, THE YARD AND THE TREES ARE NOT DEAD. That is apparently a winter picture.)
The thing is, I've been all on the Facebook and the Twitter talking about this, so I'm pretty sure no one reading here has not already heard about it from one of the other places on the internet where I post the sometimes interesting details of my life. But that's beside the point! It happened, and thus I am obligated to give it a run-down in my Livejournal, so that's what's happening now. I even have a Facebook album of (crappy phone) pictures! The awesome things about this apartment are as follows:
- Cute kitchen
- Hardwood floors
- Off-street parking
- Downtown and campus within walking distance
- Rent includes everything except electric bill
- Friendly landlord and maintenance folks
- Said friendly folks made an exception to the no pets rule so that I can have my cat (!)
The cons about this apartment are... uh? It has radiator heat? I don't even know if that's a bad thing, the only experience I've ever had with radiators was when the one in my old dorm room shot hot water across the room for several hours one evening, but that's because it was in an ancient and poorly-maintained building, which this is not.
SO, I am moving on August 15th. Moving will be so stressful because I have so much stuff to get/move/find/buy/clean/etc.! However, once I am settled, and I have my awesome boyfriend and roommate and awesome cat with me, and have done a little bit of decorating, I think I will be quite happy. Is it weird that I am so, so excited to live somewhere walkable? I have never been lucky enough to live anywhere with anything to do within walking distance of my front door. In case acquaintance with me hasn't been enough to make you aware of this, LIVING IN THE BOONIES SUCKS, and I am very glad to be almost-not-doing-that-any-more.
In less exciting news, I've been demoted to driving my dad's old van, to which I can only say LOL. I console myself by reminding myself that I probably won't have to use it much after I move. Also by reminding myself that I'm not in high school any more, and no one should judge me based on my car, and also by forgetting about the fact that most people my age can afford something nicer than whatever old beater their dad had lying around. JUNO HAD A VAN, JUNO WAS COOL RIGHT GUYS? JUNO ALSO DIDN'T LIKE SONIC YOUTH AND NEITHER DO I~ juno was also 16 and pregnant which is not cool and also i am neither of those things
All I am doing today, though, is sitting around and trying to not feel so disgusting, because I am having Lady Issues (TM). Maybe later I will come up with something else interesting to say? But probably not?
