The Joys of Apartment Hunting...

I was suggesting the possibility of painting my room to the parental units, and they suggested the possibility that I might consider how long I was going to be staying with them. This has NEVER been broached before, and especially not in terms that would hinder any activity I might choose to take part in under their roof.

So it might not be such a bad idea to move out. Now... to find a place with rent somewhere around $300 a month...

I had registered for Rent.com when Stacy had a life crisis and needed a few tips on where she might move in on short notice... why not give it a shot? No direct filter for $300. So... try $200?

Um... nevermind...

Well, setting the filter at $400, it brought up nine locations, the lowest being $325, and very, very far away from where I want to be. I'm considering getting a roommate, but I'd kind of like to live on my own for a change. That, and I really have no money to speak of. I don't see myself going back to college unless I can take out a small loan to begin my Tuition assistance and pay off the extra $500 I still owe.

Roommates.com tricked me into buying a membership- so I might as well make the most of it. Otherwise, I guess I'm okay. It's cold outside, and drab to boot.

Maybe it'll be sunny by next week.

One thing's for sure- I intend to give myself at least five months to find a place. That'll be more than enough time, I'm sure of it.
