So after EVERYTHING, I wound up getting an apartment today. I wish I had the keys so I could just start moving immediately.
I like!
No thanks!

Living alone is freaking great. I do get lonely sometimes. But, that's where GTI comes in?
No, really, I feel so much better without the added stress of roomates. I've been living alone for 2 years now. It's been great

I did for about 3 years. It was nice to come home to no roomates that had made a mess or dirtied all the plates up so I did not have one. I cold do what evar I wanted because I was the only one that had to deal with it.
Sweet I say! Sweet !!

The next-door-neighbor raised the rent from $1250 to $1400 and just told me on Sunday. I re-posted my roommate ad on craigslist at the new price and got ZERO responses. At the old price, I had lots of people interested. I just started getting so stressed and she just kept seeming more bitchy, so I decided it would really just be easier to find a place on my own, in the long run. I found a cute apartment in my neighborhood that's $700/month with really low utilities, so I just decided to do that today instead of freaking out about trying to find someone who would pay a TON to live with me.
At this point, I am more than ready to just get the hell out of this house. I can move into my new place August 10, but will be in New York until August 11, so I'm trying to hire movers for the furniture for August 16 and am offering to pay neighbor lady a pro-rated rent for the month of August. She's being bitchy about it, but if my mother's right (I SURE HOPE SHE IS), then legally, I'm fine. The woman COULD try to evict me, but that process takes at least 20 days and is expensive on her end, and I'll totally be out of here within 20 days.
BALHADFHADFGADFG!!! I am so sick of dealing with all of this! If I had the keys to my new place, I'd be taking stuff over there right this minute!

It's not. I like living alone. Sometimes it can get lonely, but then you have to invite people over or go out. So it's a good motivator.

Now I seriously can't wait to just get the fuck out of here. If I had the keys, I would be moving right this very minute. Next-door-neighbor woman came over and verbally harassed me this morning and STOOD IN FRONT OF MY CAR so that I couldn't get in after I'd already told her I was running late for work.
I contacted the Austin Tenant Council, and I am totally in the right to stay in the house until the 16th (which is all I'm asking), and they told me to call the police if she harasses me again. I REAAAAAAAALLY wish she weren't my next-door-neighbor. it is like she is constantly stalking me watching as I come and go, and it makes me feel like I'm being hunted. I closed all the blinds and curtains and everything and am just going to not answer the door if she comes over here. I've already told her if she wants to talk to me from now on, it must be via written communication.
ADFHADFHARGADGAGADFGADFGEHFH!!!! Can it just be August 16th already??

So the new plan is that I'm packing like crazy and putting all my crap in a POD on Saturday and couch surfing until I can move into my new place. I'm sick of this shit!
I really hope living alone isn't scary. Tell me about how living alone is amazing, please.
