Ok, i'd like to think that i'm almost out of the twilight zone...

So, Nikki moved out Sunday. Problem is that there are some paper trail issues that need to be worked out or else Jose and i are going to be kicked out too, and i REALLY can't afford to move again. Especially not in the middle of the quarter. So as long as that gets taken care of RIGHT NOW then everything's ok. Fun and ironic thing about this is that i'm the only one who's got no current paperwork issues. Since when am i responsible? Ha! Oh well, guess it was bound to happen eventually.

So as long as that gets taken care of and nobody gets kicked out, i'll be looking for a new server job in the next month. I need more money and i'd rather work for a place that:
a - has patrons that KNOW that they're supposed to tip
b - has fairly expensive food, so said tips are bigger.

Right now my favorite place is Legal Seafood; i'll apply other places as well, of course, but i'd REALLY like to work there. The food is awesome, the menu is terribly expansive (and kinda expensive too) and i love the atmosphere. Plus the uniform is easy. So i'll be applying there first, no doubt, but it'll be the first on a long list.

Y'know i've never lived without roommates. I think i'd like to try that at some point. I've been saying that for a while but with the current hassles with all these applications and lack-of-notices and late rent payments, i wonder if i'd be better off on my own than having to rely on roommates to help pay for things. At least that way, i'm the only one responsible if something goes wrong and i can take care of it myself instead of having to call other people and make sure that something gets done. Ah well. I'll just have to save up my money and make sure that if there is some kind of emergency that i can get a place on my own. Speaking of money i think i'm going to consolidate my bank accounts. Easier to keep track of that way.

I'm also kind of alone/lonely, now. Nikki's moved out, Annie's gone back to SCAD (had a dream about her last night where she told me she loved me, and i felt happy but a bit weirded out), Kirsten is getting transferred to the Nordstrom in Montgomery and i never even got to go out with her, (ok, looking back on that sentence i find it a little bit odd that i need some kind of female companionship to not feel lonely. hmm...) and all my friends from work are quitting (including me), so i guess it's about time for the "new life" to start. My feeling is that everything (job, living situation, social life) will come out of the spiral and settle to a somewhat stable point around the end of the quarter and leading into the fall. Makes perfect sense, i guess; i have this weird thing about single years. All of my *real* bf/gf relationships have lasted one year, almost to the day. Most jobs i've kept for about a year (Animotion being an exception; 5 years). Leases are, of course, one year long typically. I've been living here in the DC area for almost a year and things have been fairly tumultuous with all the living/rent/renovation/moving van mirror/roommate issues, so it's safe to assume that said tumult will subside once the year mark has passed. I hope so. The only thing that's been consistent is my good grades.

Just want some stability, y'all.
