We didn’t get it……still no place to live.

Ok here it goes…….I arrived here in NY thinking I had a place to stay because Julia one of my new roommates told us not to worry about a place. Well Sarah, the girl Julia set us up to stay with, had no where for us to sleep but in her bed or on a small love seat. So the first night I took the bed with her. Weird sleeping in bed with a stranger. I did that for a few nights alternating the love seat with Katie while we waited to move into out new place in East Flat Bush which later becomes a huge mistake for many reasons which I won’t go into here. I didn’t choose it. Katie and Julia picked it out before I got there. Well now what……they signed a lease…….We call the landlord explained our situation and asked for our money back. Luckily they are a nice couple and they agreed to give us our money back but they would only give us a portion of it now and another portion once they have found someone else to move in.

SO now the house searching starts again. Katie’s parents were in town for a conference so we moved our stuff again to their hotel in Time Square and stayed there with them. We looked for places but nothing we wanted. We then had to leave the hotel so Katie called a friend of a friend to see if we might be able to stay there. He said yes, so we trucked our stuff up to Greenpoint to stay with Harrison whom we come to find out only knew Katie’s friend for 8 hours in Italy while they were both backpacking. We stay with him for a few days while his roommate was out of town. We are still looking at apartments and not really finding what we want. We moral is getting low. We have to leave Harrison’s because his anal roommate is back.

We leave Harrisons at 9:30pm to go back to Sarah’s for the night. We are all tired, pissed, hungry. (I think I have lost 5 lbs in the last week walking all over the stupid city on top of seeing every subway station and being underground half the time) We wait forever for the G train. It doesn’t come. Find out they have moved it to one track because of construction. We then get on the wrong train. So we take a bus. We then have to wait for a transfer in getto town USA. Creepy! We finally make it to Sarah’s and she is not home or not answering the bell. Now what. It is now 1am. We started this at 9:30. We catch a cab and go to Julia’s bf place where they already had guests. 9 people crammed into a small apartment. I love sleeping on wood floors.

GOOD NEWS!!!! We found a place!!!!!!! It is so COOL!!! Can’t move in for a few days but I’m excited.
Oh and one night I went to “BED” with my friend Tayllor. We got the VIP tratment. Woo. Her friend spent crazy money so we could get a bed upstairs. Nuts. It was fun.

I’m done writing for now. this is such a long rammble. Sorry
