Yeah, so I'm still a broke-ass, but I am way too chipper right now to worry about that. The new place really is that rad.

We've got a full house for only $1600/month! There'll be 5 of us by the end of the month, so with everybody paying into rent, that's peanuts.

It's in fixer-upper condition, which pleases the hell out of me because I love fixing stuff. I tried to tell my mother what heaven repairing the basement floor has been, and she offered to send me some Thorazine.

I'm also loving how unintentionally green we'll be in this place. No dishwasher, no dryer, no air conditioning, no heat 'til the cold months hit, and plenty of yard we can start up a garden to grow food in. (Which, incidentally, should help out with my situation if I can't find another job)

I am stoked.





Houseparty, y'all!

Fucking right.
Glad to see you happy love!

I could rent you my house in Tampa for $1250 a month with a 2 car garage and everything thrown in including the kitchen sink.

Congrats.
I hope you've got some groceries in your fridge.


Wait. No dryer???

Thanks.

I felt like such crap last week. Shifting into the hew house really has cheered me up, even if overall the situation hasn't changed.

Sounds great!!! !!

Nope. No dryer.

It's not really a necessity anyways. As long as there's a functional washing machine (there is) and a clothesline we're all good. And given how much energy it eats up I doubt I'd be using it much anyways even if we did have one.

It is!


I kinda wish the yard was fenced, but really, for this city the house is already a steal.

What about in the winter?

johnart said:

open rooms with a window draft makes for great hanging
especially if you have an attic
the house i was living in this year had no washer or dryer

johnart said:

There's a clothesline in the basement too.

Congrats, meow. I dont know how in the world you could live with 4 friends without going insane, but good luck.

it's really not that bad
in fact, i'm mad jealous of you erin

i miss my 3 girls, and i just miss the lifestyle

sammij said:

I commend you and meow on your Greenery.
I try to be green and a fairly responsible inhabitant of this planet, but I ain't givin up the dryer.

awesome!! BUt the important thing is: Did you get anything to eat?

Yea for you!

Imago said:

i'm on a plane to tampa!

Yayyyyy congrats!!!

Lammastide said:

Having lived alone, lived with one roommate, and lived with several people I can definitely say I prefer the last option. I like a busy house.


I've never lived with anyone from this particular group of people before, but I can't imagine I'll have too many grievances.

johnart said:

I'll have to admit while we were searching for this house we really were trying to get a place with full laundry facilities. But, fuck it. People have lived for thousands of years without the aid of dryers, and all the house's previous inhabitants did fine without one,

Not sure I could go without a washing machine though, but that's mostly because the closest laundromat is like 10 blocks away and none of our sinks are large enough.

KatSkrizzle said:

Still working on that, though I haven't been without a bit of help now.

meow85 said:

I would guess 99% of the world population in 2009 still have no dryer but you know johnart, he's a drama queen



Congrats on your new place

Can you take pics!?! Glad you're settled

I don't have a camera, film or digital.

But I think one of the roomies does. When she moves in, I'll ask if I can steal it for a bit.

The garden.

Sounds great girl! And the energy saving is great!

does everybody alreay know each other, or are there some newbies to your social circle in the house?

Glad things worked out!

Congratulations! Sounds like you know how to grab the bull by the horns. I totally get your excitement - I have felt similarly in my life many times.

How exciting to be in your young years and not even give this 2 seconds of though. I live in a circus and can't wait to have my peace and quiet
