Good Things Come To Those Who Wait...

…or so sings Jason Mraz.

I am actually feeling pretty happy now. Nope, it’s not because my housing situation has been solved, but it’s housing related though. Dropped by Jenn and Lina’s place for a visit tonight and received the good news of their successful application for a brand new apartment just a block from where they are living currently (they have gone through much shit like myself when it comes to house-hunting). They got the place at a price they wanted and the owner actually allowed them to house their two dogs as well. How cool is that! I genuinely feel glad for them. They are a couple of fantastic girls and have been very nice friends to me. They deserve it entirely if you ask me. I s’pose there is hope (and good realos) yet in this whole rental business!

As for myself, I have a few options to toy with at the moment. I am in a somewhat better position than I was last week. I could either (a) move out on my own (b) find a place with a friend of my (now estranged) flatmate (c) move in with two guys over at West Brunswick or (d) move in with another guy in Collingwood. I s’pose my instinct lies in the last option, as I did get a pretty good vibe from the place and from Paul himself. Will see how it goes, we still have several finer details to sort out, such as him being a vegetarian while I am not. Am checking out a gig with him tomorrow and hopefully something will work out. I really want this whole ordeal to be over so that I can move on to other things!

I can’t stop listening to “Someday, Someday” by Thirsty Merc (and a few other songs by them too, for that matter) and that’s pretty weird because I don’t even like them at all in the first place. Maybe because the tune is just so darn catchy and the words are not too lame either, I don’t know.

So yup, I am on my way to trying my first (major) new thing of the year, that is, to move in with a total stranger. I just hope I don’t come whinging here a coupla months down the road!
