I have a place to live! I have a freelance job! YAAAAAY!!!

deleted my twitter account because i can't stand getting any criticism ever, cool cool cool

Things are going well for me right now. I've finally connected with a group of three roommates who are using a realtor to get an apartment. It's really coming down to the wire - we all want to move in by September 1st. We actually almost got a place last night but at the last minute one of the roomm...

Thank you for the support all. I hate to only post on here when I'm unhappy, but I think most diaries suffer the same effect.

Still think it can't happen here? I'm losing my goddamn mind. Before I get too much into politics, I'll start with the more p...
