Hey remember how I was in a last minute roommate crisis? Yeah...

Well the roommate thing, the lease at my new place, the money thing... It all worked out! I am now the proud leaseholder of a big three bedroom apartment in lovely Prospect Heights. As far as the roommate situation, I wound up with a two-for-one kind of deal, finding two sweet girls and sweetening the rent for me!

I’m happy to share my apartment for a little security. Living alone was good, but in the long run I think this will be better, both financially and for my peace of mind. Now if I feel afraid, which I have once or twice, I will at least know there’s someone else there. If I lose my keys I’ll have someone to let me in. If I go away I’ll have someone to feed my cats. Too much independence can be a burden unless you can afford to pay for help. And...well...I chose the high road, so roommates it is. Anyway, my bedroom is practically the size of my old apartment in Lefferts. I measured it out to a full 200 square feet.

I’m happy to report that Thinky Face said she’s only ever seen one “water bug” (whatever) there in four years, which was three years ago, and that the crack it came through had been sealed. I’d also like to brag that I have a real kitchen, not one of those tiny holes in the wall with appliances stuffed inside like sardines. And a living room. And a big bathroom. And I love it.

I also--and this might prove to be the best part--have roof access. So what has been my first order of business upon moving in? Naturally, I ‘m throwing a party! Next Saturday, the 23rd, my roof will be transformed. I hope.

Anyone know where I can rent an LCD projector cheaply?
