the apartment hunt
I’ve been meeting a lot of interesting people these past few weeks of looking for a place.
- a writer and a prop stylist (meg and i combined??)
- two upright bassist
- one actor
- ten kids with unsure job titles who live in a commune
- one recently broken up guy who kept talking about his girlfriend’s stuff
- drank twice with prospective roommates
- someone registered on couch surfing dot com
- a handful of photographers and graphic designers
- and one owner of a plus sized modeling company (of the girly mag variety)
Needless to day, as it draws closer to the wire, my standards have dropped considerably. Hey Mr. Plus Sized Model Company, is that room still open? I’ve made a simple math formula to help everyone understand what the search is like: Where A is the amount of cool people and B is the coolness of the apartment and C is the weird people and D is the weird apartment.
- A+B=no chance in hell.
- A+D=some chance but not likely.
- C+B=lots of chance but do you really want to.
- C+D=an apartment offer on the spot.
