move in with me

it was a friday

I am in a great mood right now. Who knows why. Could be the vodka, could be just watching degrassi, could be that I'm almost done with Erika, could be that I have the weekend off. Could be that its payday. Could be the constant cuddling Walter gave me all evening. COuld be that I found a roommate. Could be Elvis singing "A Little Less Conversation" on my ipod. I think its just the whole combination.

So yes I found a roommate! I'm a little bit nervous and a little bit excited. We both kind of hastily chose each other. He had to find a new place by the end of the weekend. I was not having much luck with viable roommates. Could be fate, could be perfect, could be anything. Lets hope for the best. I've only been in contact with him for about 48 hrs and only spoke with him over the phone/seen him in person for a little over 14 hrs. He came by the apt afterwork and we seemed to mesh well. His name is Steven, he's a non-smoker, doesn't mind if I take on Walter, he's clean, he's into dvds and video games like me, he's 26, working full time while contemplating going back to law school, black, hairless (not even eyebrows), similar tastes in music/movies/tv, has everything for the apartment that I don't have. I hope this works out. I'm just a little nervous because this just seems so sudden, I just don't want him to turn out to be someone who gets keys to my apt only to steal everything from me and disapear. But tomorrow he's going to move in some of his stuff at the same time Erika is moving her stuff out. In order for my new roommie to move in, it turns out I have to help Erika move out afterall. Maybe I can just throw her stuff out the window. But really, there is going to be so much going on this weekend, I've got to keep cool. I just hope this helps me to develop a social life in Chicago and a better living atmosphere than the first half of the year has been.

Walter has been pouring on the love since I got over to sister stacey's today. I think he misses being the center of attention. I want to adopt him. I want to take him home. But I know its wrong to pressure my sister into giving him up. But he's just so cute and so loveable towards me.









The kids from Degrassi are growing up so fast! I can't believe they are in season 5 already. Those who started out in grade 8 are now juniors! And Marco wants to graduate a semester early! Although maybe he'll reconsider now that he broke up with Dylan. I have to buy season 2 on dvd.

I spent my day off yesterday in the vortex of my bedroom. Time just flies by without anything being accomplished. No, that's not completely true. Aside from (and it ashames me to admit it) finishing the fourth Harry Potter book, I went through some of my clothes in my dresser and in my closet to see what still fits and what I still wear. Its just so funny cause half the stuff I was ready to ditch last year cause I was too big for it and now I'm too small for it. But the size issue has proven detremental to my needs. I realized that I needed to get an outfit together for April's wedding at the end of August. I tried on my suit, pants too big, jacket just seemed to big. Tried some of my dress pants, all too big. I don't know what to do. At least I've still got a month to figure it out.

I still haven't talked to my boss to find out what he wanted. Oh well, I guess it wasn't that important if the whole week passed without him bringing it up again.
