Moving Tomorrow
time 9:21 am feeling CHILLY wearing NOT ENOUGH B/C STILL COLDmusic RP reading term limits, kind of ready for FLASH next flash
TWO IN ROW you should die of happiness. Except for the fact that I told Sara Scrutineyess I was going to stop updating at this particular time of day (ha), and yet I continue.
So, quickly:
REASONS WHY MY CURRENT (SOON TO BE OLD) APT SUCKS ASS:
- Train (this was my fault however)
- Idiots living above me who constantly drop golf balls, have a disgusting band-aid-taped car, and are probably running a meth operation and/or furniture business (I hear saws and other power tools often). I hate them.
- Idiot living across the hall from me who lives rent free, yet still comes over to ask for medical supplies, ice cubes, and a PHONE yesterday anyway. AND she leaves her garbage IN THE HALL, INCLUDING but not limited to a bag of DIRTY CAT LITTER. I left a very explicit and nasty note about this and she stopped, but really. She is coming really close to making me lose my bleeding-heart-ness, for I have absolutely NO sympathy for her lazy ass.
- It's the ghetto of St. Anthony Park.
- You really do get what you pay for.
- They refuse to really 'fix' things either because they are (a) lazy or (b) stupid.
- There is a cat that lives in the dumpster. I love cats. But not ones that live in dumpsters.
GOOD THINGS ABOUT CURRENT (SOON TO BE OLD) APT:
- CHEAP AS HELL!
- It is cute once you get inside.
- It's by my favorite park.
- It's in St. Anthony Park, mucho gusto.
REASONS WHY MY FUTURE (SOON TO BE CURRENT) APT RULES:
- Within walking/biking distance of work, downtown, and on several amazing bus lines.
- Within walking distance of many great things, including but not limited to a grocery store (well, soon it will be up anyway), Chipotle which I love, The Times, Whitey's, a cream puff cafe, (oh how I love food), a movie theater, St. Anthony Main, the river (wait, is that good?), etc etc etc.
- The new landlady/manager/whatever. She is my age and is very professional. They redo five units every year(?) or something and are committed to making it respectable. This means more rules, more $, but also better service and more appropriate behavior. Example: while I was moving stuff this week, she came in to show the apt( as an example to others) and did not realize I was even there. She apologized profusely, felt terrible about the whole thing, called me personally later to apologize and reassure me she would not be entering again, and then later I found she had left me a $10 GC to Chipotle as another apology/thanks. See above comment re: that dining establishment. LOVELOVELOVE for her already.
- Way cuter.
- Top floor so no upstairs idiots.
- Can see skyline if I crane neck appropriately.
- Everything is new and the kitchen looks amazing.
ONLY CONS:
- Silverware drawer is tiny (this is a very insignificant complaint).
- Closet door came off tracking and they'll have to fix that.
- More expensive.
THANK POD. Now I will leave you with that and get on to Flash-ING.
