What I'm listening to right now: Out of the Sheets-into the Streets by Dave Williams.
Life was meant to revolve at 33 1/3 rpm. I've been looking for this song for years, and I mean years. It's a supa dupa cool funk cut that I heard in the background in a movie once.
So I went to see the Jacuzzi, now known as the mom apartment. Wonderful people, and that's my main criteria. I would give up smoking to live with good people. But, I'm not too keen on giving up my leather sofa.
The place is pratically fully furnished, which is a problem because I have a full apartment as it is, so I essentially have to move everything back to my parent's place in order to move into this place. And, if I move in here, I'll be saving about $150-$200 a month tops. I know I can do better than that if I move out of this neighbourhood.
If I were to move into this place, my life would be at home, as their is no neighbourhood feel, no community around there, no sense of public life. But the place is gorgeous. It looks like something out on an Ikea catalogue, and most of the walls are red brick, long hardwood, high ceilings, bright.
They were pretty adamant about the no smoking thing, and when I mentioned that I'm a DJ, and would like to spin at the house parties, they asked if I play a lot of loud music all the time, because the house isn't sound proofed that well. That means that really loud sex is ok, I guess, I think, I hope. I mean come on, what are you going to do, turn off so that the neighbours don't get disturbed? That's awfully facistic and really oppressive...
But they are such wonderful people. The queen of the house told me that she was dating this guy for two years, broke up with him, and now they're back together, and he might move in at some point, or they may get married. Red flag, hello. The last thing that I want is to live with a couple, because then the flatmates become middle people.
This was a good experience, no doubt. I got to think about whether I want to move in with others, or get a big place of my own and bring people in. I'll decide to choose the latter. That way I can set the tone for the apartment, and not have to sacrifice any of my stuff, because I have a fully stacked apartment as it is. I'm not giving up my leather sofa, my tv, my area rugs-their both hand made and family heirlooms. I'm not giving those up.
I think I'll cruise around for the rest of the month, and if something happens to come up, great. I'll start looking for sure when I return from England at the end of next month.
While no doubt, these people would be a wholesome influence, but I need more artsy types. These people are all sciency, and not really my crowd. I need smokers who are chill, respectful, musically and artistically inclined who like to have smoking parties with live djs.
