I looked at the address on Craigslist and knew exactly where the property-for-rent was located.\u00a0 I knew the street very well; the place was located a block away from the first place I lived here in Washington.\u00a0 That old place where I lived for a little more than two years was rented to me site unseen by Shirtless John, who some of you might remember from MySpace.\u00a0 Blogging connections do pay off from time to time, and having Shirtless John rent me that place with no more of a background check than having read my blogs made my move to the Emerald City a lot easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(kinda tells you how long ago 2007 feels… Parodies of Chris Crocker’s famous \u00a0“LEAVE BRITTNY ALONE!” vide were still relevant)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got good memories of that first place I lived, and seeing another property listed on that same street was, I thought, a good omen.\u00a0 I called the number listed and immediately recognized the voice:\u00a0 Sam, the Chinese landlord from the last placed I lived.\u00a0 He owns a lot of properties and here was one, cheap, right in the exact neighborhood I wanted to live.\u00a0 He told me when I moved out that he\u2019d be happy to rent to me again if ever our paths crossed again.\u00a0 Well, there\u2019s my pre-approved rental application right there!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, with those confluence of circumstances guiding me to this place, I felt really good about my chances with this place.\u00a0 Despite it being cozy (a euphemism for really small) and unique (eupahmism for a weird floor plan), it\u2019s quite cheap and it fits my needs.\u00a0 Ground floor of a two story house.\u00a0 Nice yard for the kittehs.\u00a0 Plenty of storage. Quiet neighborhood.\u00a0 I already know where the greenscreen is going.\u00a0 It\u2019s not fabulous or anything, but a good place to land while I figure out the rest of my life. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I put a deposit on it an hour ago.\u00a0 It\u2019s mine as soon as I come up the rest of the money (tomorrow).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is such a relief.\u00a0 It really sucked being pre-homeless. \u00a0I hated not knowing where I\u2019m going to be a year from now.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My apologies for the “plainness” of this blog.\u00a0 I’m at the school library.\u00a0 Pictures soon. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
