once again everything is up in the air. i'm finally making an effort to bring it all back down, but it's kind of overwhelming. i've got quite a lot on my mind - acquiring a job, living space, not knowing how long i'm even going to be in the fucking country - along with all the minutiae i have trouble keeping track of even on a good day. knowing all this crap i have to sort out and not really knowing how is giving me a fair amount of anxiety.
on a happier note, Timmy will be here in 5 weeks, which has given me impetus to find a place to live that is not my parents' house. it's a good thing i've got his visit to look forward to, because this shit is wearing me out - i've spent over three weeks trawling craigslist, emailing and calling people, trying to keep all the information organized, and making multiple trips up to New York & north Jersey. this was so much easier last summer.
but now i'd better go to bed. i've got to leave in 7 hours to see 6 more places up north. blargh.

What is wrong with the places that you have looked at?

I have thought about doing that too, but we don't have good places to park them in New York.

That seems a little high for what you'd be getting...

Being near water makes me urinate a lot.

I already have some experience with urinating off a boat.

mostly incompatibilities with the people already living there. one place had electrical problems and blacked out twice in the 15 minutes i was there. one house was really nice, but the owner chose someone else. some were a bit out-of-the-way, and a few had an inadequate layout (no door on the bedroom, for one).Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:12:26 pm

No.
there you go. i can't afford to live by myself around here, and i don't know anyone who would want to share an apartment with me.
