Vortexia's Secret

it better not be mine. i'm going to try to fight stupidity with intellect. i wrote a letter to the manager of my apartment in a moment on controlled anger outlining exactly why this whole consolidation plan was illogical and inconvenient. i am also searching my lease to see if there is any kind of little loophole i can worm myself through to get out of these last 2 1/2 months. tomorrow morning i'm going apartment hunting and have one that stand high above the rest as the superior location. hopefully it will be just as good in person and i'll be able to get in there. wish me luck on the fight with my current apartment complex though!

here's how careful i was to not get screwed over again. i used online sites that allow you to pick your amenities and see prices and pictures to get some affordable options. then i looked at apartment ratings from previous tenants and ruled out most of my options because they are apparently hell holes in disguise. so i took the remaining ones and checked the better business bureau for complaints. finally, i checked the local police department to see the crime stats for each location. boy was that an eye opener! when there are 2 death investigations, 10 thefts, 29 car burglaries, and a total of 128 various crimes involving police investigations in a very expensive complex, you put it at the bottom of the list in a flash! too much money to just get screwed over. but thankfully that one apartment complex survived all the tests. i just hope it works out in person as well.

oh, adding to the crap trend, i checked my cell phone minutes this morning and saw that i had gone over my limit by 76 minutes already. crap! thank goodness we're into the weekend now and i should start the new month on monday, but that still sucks! there's an extra $30 down the drain.

however, as a little turn around, J was able to come over for a little while tonight. and temporarily being roommate free, we were able to make out on the couch worry free. it was very good to forget my worries for a while. and it was great to feel like we could just take some time to reconnect. with both of our lives being so crazy lately, that's in pretty high demand. well i have to get up early tomorrow to start the apartment search, and i want to end the day thinking about this shared time, so good night!

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
