So as it turns out... I am not going to be moving down to NYC.
Apparently the whole thing was a lie. Too bad hindsight is 20/20.
The woman (I want to use more colorful terms to describe her, but I am too much of a damn feminist) seems to have a lot of holes in a lot of stories she told people.
Here's the rundown of the nonsense... This is the story she told me.
Lets call her sue.
After high school Sue went into the army. Sue got married, and had some kids. Now, Sue claims that her sister is an investment banker, and made her a TON of money. which seemed true, seeing as she bought a huge house and had it remodeled after her husband died and she moved back to my hometown. She has three cars that are beautifull and a Harley So I figured the whole money thing was true,
Now about a month ago I was talking to her about moving down to city at some point. And she said "Well, I have the flat down there you can use"
She said all I would have to do is pay utilities on the 1000sq ft flat she had there. She had bought it from her sister, when her sister wanted to move to Brooklyn during the housing crash. Since her sister made her money, she would buy it, and her sister wouldn't have to sell it upside down.
I agreed, and she filled me in on details about the place. the address, the fact that it was next to a place that has a water tower on it... the end.
I should have doubted her lack of knowledge in the first place.
Last week she told me that she had tickets to the Yankees home opener on Saturday, and she was going down on Friday. I asked if I could go down with her to see the place. She said sure... then told me that the place was furnished so i wouldn't even have to bring stuff. I would just have to bring clothes. During that same week, she was talking about her friend in the army that was in the press corps. She told me how the army gave him this awesome camera that is now sitting in his closet, since he doesn't use it since he left the army.,,, last year. I told her i would trade him one of my cameras, if it is a D3, seeing as he will have a smaller cam that he can actually use for more recreational use then. She then claimed to have e-mailed him, and said he would send it. I told her I would pay for overnight shipping if need be. But she said don't worry it was taken care of.
well friday rolled around, and she said she would pick me up around 1... then it turned to 4. She texted me saying "I am en route now"
I had my bags packed and was waiting at my studio to move to new york... then 5:30 rolled around. Then 6... then 7:00.
I went to check her Facebook to see if i could contact her... She didn't pick up her phone or answer any texts. and lo and behold, I had been blocked. So I I.M. ed her sister in law to ask if she had spoken to Sue... since I was worried something had happened. I told her sister in law "I was waiting for her to pick me up to move down to the place in NYC, and she never showed." and her sister replied "what place in NYC?"
so basically that is the point I figured the whole thing had been a lie.
So I texted her the next day, and asked her to give me the courtesy of explaining things to me.
I then found out that she posted a long winded rant saying that I was taking advantage of her, and that I was a heroin addict, and that I had been evicted from my studio, and 2 apartments since she came back. (even though i am typing this from my studio and I ended my lease with my current landlord on good terms, and have until the end of the month to move out. )
now I am stuck without a place to live (someone else signed a lease as of the 1st) and I have to find a new place without money for first and last moths rent and deposit... try to find a place without those.
so if any of my friends down in NYC have a place that needs a room mate, get at me. I still would love to get down there.
but I need details. :-)
