MOVING HOUSE ... TWICE

this year i have moved... twice. that's right. twice. and i can safely say despite the initial joy of living somewhere new gives me, i never want to see another packing box or suitcase ever again.

i've always read horror stories about the roommate from hell, scoffed at that bad Leighton Meester movie that came out a while ago -- pfft, it can't be that bad, can it? -- but never in a million years would i have thought that things with my ex-roomate and me would go down shit creek. 

i'm not going to elaborate, because for one i'm glad it's over and done with, but let's just say that she had a strange allergy to other human beings besides herself and had the maturity of an eight-year-old. good riddance, i say. 

right now we've set up camp in a one-bedroom apartment that would be overlooking the Yarra river if it was on the other side of the building, but i guess the sprawling city views from my floor-to-ceiling windows don't hurt a bit, especially when the sun is setting. if you can forget the fact that directly opposite those said windows is a brothel (albeit pretty discreet) and a Youth Hostel Association full of backpackers hanging out of its windows, smoking cigarettes.

here's a picture of A setting up our makeshift bed from when we decided to have a sleepover in the new place. it was fun :-)
