the neighbours with the squeaky dog toy sounding child moved from across the hall to an upstairs apartment (thankfully, not above me). i had a brief fling with thinking about flipping my life and living on the other side of the building. the pros & cons stacked up thusly:
\npros<\/u>
\nchance to start fresh
\nnew paint
\nscrubbed from top to bottom
\nno stompy upstairs
\nnone of stompy’s garden flotsam falling onto my balcony
\nbuilding on that side is quieter, more mature
\nbreezeway never used by loud people cutting through
\nexcellent opportunity to really<\/i> purge more stuff
\nre-arranging!
\ncons<\/u>
\nall the address\/utility changes just to change from #6 to #5
\nmoving (ew)
\ncosts (may be higher rent)
\nre-learning where everything is (it’s a mirror-image of my apartment)
\nupstairs mafia guy may be worse than stompy (hard to imagine, but possible)
\nmight be hotter as it’s on side which gets direct sun most of the day
\ncould have a worse bathroom\/uglier kitchen\/crappier doors & windows
\nbut, really, i’m lazy and cheap, so i’m probably not going anywhere.
\nanother thing i’m thinking about is London.
\nturns out there’s both an opportunity for free accommodation and a very cheap flight to England and i find myself seriously considering finally getting myself to Europe before i die. but, it’s still going to be many hundreds of dollars i find myself hesitant to divert from more responsible uses. i also have goals to get a new couch and i think i have a destination wedding i need to save up for. not to mention just saving for emergencies and avoiding the accumulation of any more debt (especially after having worked so hard to pay it all off<\/a> last spring).
\ni got my first passport a dozen years ago just so i could go to England and it expired without a British stamp in it. how depressing.
\nof course, these two thinking things work against each other. if i move, i can’t afford to go to London. if i go to London, i can’t afford to move. hell, i if i go to London, i can’t afford to buy my new dream couch.
\nbeing a responsible adult fucking sucks. so does being broke (not poor, right Jen<\/a>?).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
