But I'm apartment hunting in this too darn hot weather - trying to find a new home. It's been a frustrating quest - but I believe it's because A) I made the mistake of telling everyone my sad tale - so they all think I'm desperate and will just take the first thing they offer me - WRONG B) I started looking four days before June ended - so I was being shown all the July 1 rentals that weren't rented because they sucks and C) There is a holiday weekend so allegedly all the management companies are down for business until the 5th. So - hopefully on the fifth, there will be awesomeness for me to look at. Not the crappy mccrappersons apartments they were showing me I've seriously never seen apartments so crappy - not that any of my friends lived in - not that I've been shown on any apartment hunting quests - and they were all super expensive. Seriously - there is not ONE TRUE two bedroom with a living that isn't a railroad style apartment that has a full sized stove that is under $2400 in all of Manhattan that isn't my block!? I don't believe it. Kat and Cara's place is $1600. Rent can't have gone up THAT much in one month people!!!!!!!! And don't tell me nothing like that exists in midtown - since I know perfectly well there is a true two bedroom with laundry in the building TWO elevators and a 24/7 doorman on 49th and 8th for $2600. I mean - take away the doorman and the laundry and surely there is something for $2400 or lower. AND - I offered to look in the area I used to live in the heights- where two bedrooms are supposed to be abundant in the $1800 range. GAH! So July 5th - I can't wait for YOU!
Also...boys...if you take me out on a date --- you can't tell me you think I'm fabulous but when I says something about how I wake up early and sing high notes, say - "oh yeah - I'd be annoyed if my roommate did that , but not if you did." My early a.m. high notes are part of me dude. NEXT! Stalker also has been contacted all of my friends trying to get me to go to his place for 4th of July. The letters are so not slick. They've been forwarded to me. THings like "I know (author of this blog) LOVES flame grilled burgers, and I'm planning on making them. She also loves ice cream, and I'll be providing lots of that. Do you think you and (author of this blog) would want to come over? If not, could I join you for your plans, whatever they may be?" Wow.
All of that aside, there was lots of good stuff this week. I saw a really funny comedy show. One of my dad's colleagues took me to see Sierra's new show! AND SHE HUGGED ME afterwards. I'm dorky enough to get excited about that. I have a Sunday brunch planned with Reinking and her friends, and my friend from Carmen invited me to spend Fourth of July with her and her boyfriend watching the fireworks off of Riverside Park with their ice cream maker and their homemade ice cream! That will be most marvelous! Also had a much needed Gossip Girl marathon with Kat. And - ALL WEEK I've been able to sleep - a blessing and a curse! it's funny - when having dinner with my dad's friend - she said something like "the line is drawn the first time you have to call 911." I mean - I've been calling 911 for over a year! Usually 311 because I know there are people who need TRUE urgent care who need 911 - but I just kind of thought - oh I guess this is life in New York, you call 911 and 311 all the time. But that's not the case. Kat's place is actually QUIET and I can sleep! INCROYABLE! I also met three new friends! Which is wonderful! Three people whoI hope will bring lots of happiness into the world! One was a lady who is in Phantom of the Opera - and she was showing me an apartment, but we started talking and became friends and are now trying to actually get people together to put on a show! It was as though we've been looking for each other to help get each other's ideas off the ground! I hope it works! Another was a tango dancer who apparently wants to show me and my friends great free outdoor tango this summer. And another is a fashion student at FIT who loves opera - and I might actually end up living with. Crazy world.
That's all for now. Time to do some pilates!
