the latest...

Will I get the coveted keys to the medio-cre Wash-Heights apt tomorrow...we'll see. What a day...first I slept in...thankfully my theory/AC 2 teacher had a "headache" (yeah she was probably hitting the red stuff last night) so no morning classes. Went to practice a bit, grabbed a latte at City Girl, met up with my Gaysian #2 friend (although he's prolly more at #1) seeing that I am not talking to my #1 Gaysian (the one I've had a crush on for over a year now). I often wonder where my feelings with fall into. It was only a few weeks ago where I drunkenly professed my love for him...after of course holding it in for MONTHS (that's like 10 years in the gay-world) Was relieved I finally had the courage to say what I had to say...felt extremely embarrassed after hearing the rejection (which I expected). But life moves on, and in this case, VERY fast in NYC. You don't have time to dwell on your emotions. Anyways hung out at Joe's (the art of coffee...or as I say, EXPENSIVE coffee) then practiced some more) Went to class, practiced, rehearsed, and now waiting to see when we'll get the keys and lease signed to our lovely mexicana-ville apt on Audubon. In the mean time, sleep is definetely sounding good right now.

why apartment hunting in NYC sucks...

So 8 months into living here I've made the proper financial decision to move out of my fantastic/ fabulous SoHo apartment and move north to...gasp...Washington Heights. It's going to so hard saying goodbye to the rich famous actors and actresses and amazing boutique stores that I passed by each day to school/work...but alas it's financially for the best. I will saving a TON of money in rent which means I can probably afford to go on a bi-weekly shopping spree in SoHo, maybe even get my nails done...mmm-hmm. And I definitely won't feel bad indulging in my twice weekly 3.50 lattes at City Girl Cafe on Thompson St...sigh which will soon me a half hour train ride away instead of a thirty second walk. Oh well. I do much prefer Wash Heights over any other neighborhood (cough- Harlem, Inwood...and any of the other outer boroughs) And they say Wash Heights is like the new Chelsea...tons of cuties up there...of course half mexican...and as I like to term them as the "D.L. gays." They have one gay bar up there- No parking (what an appropriate name) and the only indication you can tell it's gay...(besides the obvious tight-shirted men pacing nervously across the street) is a tiny little rainbow strip that runs across the bottom of the door...seriously you have to bend down (hehe) to see it. Effective marketing? Anyways I've actually never stepped foot there, but may be doing so shortly when the ride to Chelsea takes 20+ mins. Still hoping that something else may come up on CL for under a 1,000. The only one's I've seen are rooms w/o windows, basements, or living rooms. I don't even know why people post those types of ads. Are people really that concerned with location??? I know, I'm one to talk. But at the expense of a functioning semi-locking door, or window to breathe in that not-so fresh Manhattan air....I don't know. hehe. Then you always have the roommate situation to factor in. You move in with someone who seems to have it together...then you find out he's OCD in every worse possible way, crazy (worse than Brittany crazy) and a druggie/junkie...okay so I lied about the druggie part, but it wouldn't surprise me. I guess the new roomie situation will be better next time. The last part is moving. Did it last summer, not so bad...but in the 8 months I lived here, I have accumulated a ton more stuff...mostly clothes. I'm debating whether a forklift to move my clothes will be necessary or not. Anyways going okay tonight to Torilla Flats in the WV w/ some friends should be interesting. more to come later....
