A Smathering
-Friday night I though I had found a roommate. We set a time to sign the paperwork the next day. There was much rejoicing. The next morning, I got an e-mail saying "Um, I have this awful feeling I forgot to mention my cat. Is that a problem?" Um, considering it's against my lease? Yes.
-Saturday I met an Irish boy who is just in New York City for the summer. He is sharing a three bedroom apartment in Bayridge, Brooklyn with 14 other Irish guys. What's $1250 divided by 15? Really, really cheap. Especially when you are working construction off the books. I guess that just means lots and lots of money for beer.
-Sometimes there are moments when you realize you have found your urban family.
-I am 95 percent sure I've really found a roommate now. No forgotten cats. No mysterious military job. Keep your fingers crossed, kids.
-For the second Wednesday in a row, I've found myself crying on public transportation. Wednesday, I think we're going to have to have a talk about this. I really don't plan to make a habit of this.

Hi...you don't know me(wow, that already sounds like I'm a crazy!, but I(my name is Heather) got to your lovely blog from Clare( I am the owner of "Enrique and the Butter") and saw that you a-live in NYC and b-could possibly be looking for a roomie? I have a good friend who quite possibly may be moving to NYC and looking for a roommate in NYC in the next month(she doesn't have a cat!), nice/fun/easygoing gal from Wisconsin. If you are still on the hunt, drop me a line at janeshm19@hotmail.com.
