Surprise Move is Surprising.

Guess what I did today?

I moved!

I decided yesterday that it was time to find a new place to stay. I found and moved into the new place today.

I hadn't been planning on it but spent most of yesterday furious at my Landlord and decided it just wasn't worth being that angry all the time. Granted, my roommates were wearing on me as well - they were around too much and spending way too much time getting drunk. One of the pilots, reeking of alcohol, tried to climb on my bed last night. With me in it.

And my Landlord wonders why I'm so upset over his decision to put men in my room. Granted, said Drunk Pilot wasn't staying in my room. He just thought it would be a good idea to harass me. Yay me.

It's not that I don't like the guys, it's just that my general policy is that I don't want to sleep in the same room with you unless I'm dating you, married to you or related to you.

And pilots are a special brand of skeevy.

As is my Landlord. Or should I say ex-Landlord? He once came into my room to talk to me while I was the only one in the room: shutting the door behind him, not turning on the lights and sitting down on the bed across from me in order to chit chat. I'm not the only woman he's done that too, or so sayeth the female roommates.

In fact, the new landlord knows my old landlord. I wasn't due to move into the new place until the beginning of April but since I was "in such an awful situation" I could move in now if I wanted since he wouldn't be able to sell the bed for the rest of the month anyways.

I AM FREE!!!!

Free from the Skeevy Landlord, Free from the drunken roommates and free from the cheating pilot (who tried to lecture everyone on their bad behavior today even though he's instigated most of it)

The new place is amazing. It's an actual house: full living room, dining room, kitchen, washer, dryer and I'm in a room that is all girls and will stay all girls. I may be on the top bunk for a bit but I've been assured a bottom bunk will be opening up at some point in the near future. (Sometimes I feel like I'm in summer camp)

I'm so happy your ordeal is over!
I really hope this place will be what you're looking for.
I stayed at a crash pad/commuter place for the first months in Toronto but I quickly got tired of the parties the dramas and the drunks!
I decided to pay 'regular' rent with three other FA's and never looked back!
I have my own room and the best of friends who understand that a good night sleep is a right!

I've been doing the crashpad thing for over a year now and I don't mind it. Generally the place was really quite, it's only been recently that it's gotten bad. And the Landlord... urgh.

I just don't like that people get so pissed off when their sleep gets messed with but have no problem messing with other peoples.

I am so jealous you get your own room. Sadly, NYC is ridiculous and I can't afford it. I had an apartment in the area for two years and was paying a grand a month.

So not worth it.

Don't be jealous! :(
Having my own room means I have more rooms to clean. XD

NYC is such a great city but I'm always shocked at the price of rent. :(

Toronto doesn't fair any better really but we rent uptown and the landlord is a sweet woman who doesn't care about huge profit thus a lower than normal rent.

'I just don't like that people get so pissed off when their sleep gets messed with but have no problem messing with other peoples.'

That was a major issue that I had with my old place, that and dirty panties soaking in the kitchen sink!

I now know of crashpads where it really works If I ever had to go back and live full time in Montreal I know now who to go to.

How's your April sched? Do you know yet?

(Yeah, apparently LJ thinks you're an unknown journal or something.)

As I was saying, but even more condensely: yay, my BFF is safe from skeevey men need their balls chopped off so as to not go around other girls and harm them.

LJ needs to RECOGNIZE!

I'm so glad to be leaving that place. That landlord was the skeeviest.

[veracity]

Right??? I agree!

And you needed to leave that place, badly. It was so...not safe. At all. Dinosawr man agrees. I remember how uncomfortable the landlord made you.

Wow. Good for you for taking a bad situation by the horns and changing it. :)

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm so glad to be leaving that place!

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Good for you! And yay for escaping a bad situation! *hugs*

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm so glad to be out of there. Final day is Sunday, it can't come soon enough.

That place you were in gives me the creepa (plus housed creeps). This sounds so much better.

My mom has been saying the exact same thing. My landlord has been skeeving her out for awhile so she's so happy I'm out of there. I'm so happy I'm out of there!
