Single White Female
Finding a roommate is scary business!! After the crazy freak phone calls debaucle, I've been having my dad screen the calls. Finally, FINALLY, we got a girl.
I met with her last night over dinner. First, she gave me directions to the restaurant, but was about half a mile off and I had to call the restaurant for proper directions. Then I saw her. She's a blond twiggy thing with straw for hair and black eyeliner caked around her eyes. We sat down to eat and I mentioned I just graduated from UCSB. Then she asked me where I went to school and I said "UCSB". She got up to get napkins, sat down and asked me where I went to school and I said "uhh....UCSB."
(She, by the way, graduated from the University of Texas...ahhh, my favorite state. Home of the bestest President ever!)
Apparently she had a fiance but they broke up a year and a half ago...but she's still carrying a lot of baggage on that one as she couldn't stop talking about him. And she was living with a new boyfriend but they just broke up, so she's anxious to "get out of that hellhole ASAP". Okaaayyyy....
But she really wants a relationship! (dude...maybe a break from the relationship thing might be a good idea) Come to think of it, she kept on trying to set me up with the waiter, at least, until I told her I had a boyfriend.
Then she asked me what my sign is (Gemini) and she told me she's a Cancer and that she's not allowed to drive under the full moon. (Where do these people come from?!)
So I took her to my townhouse and showed her around, and she immediately went into raptures about how cute the place is and what "improvements" she can make (uhhh...excuse me?). Apparently she has a lot of cute things from Pottery Barn (a place I never shop at, though could possibly come around to) she'd like to use to "enhance our living space".
Oh yeah, and she's not a heavy drinker...absolutely no more than 2 drinks a night.
In spite of it all, she does seem really nice and she owns her own tanning salon & day spa in Corona del Mar (ritzy, ritzy area) so she's probably financially very stable. So even if there are a few cracked eggs in the basket, it could work out.
I'm planning on meeting with her today and clarifying a few things (e.g. while I want her to be comfortable in "our" home, it is first, and foremost, my home and any "improvements" need to be discussed first). Besides, $700 a month is a lot of money to hold out on just for being picky, especially since I need to save up for grad school and travelling.

More Bush-isms
An aircraft is about to crash. There are five passengers on board, but unfortunately only 4 parachutes. The first passenger says "I'm Shaquille O'Neill, the best NBA basketball player. The Lakers need me, it would be unfair to them if I died". So he takes the first parachute and jumps.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, says "I am the wife of the former President of the United States. I am also the most dedicated woman in the world, a Senator in New York and America's potential future President. She takes one of the parachutes and jumps.
The third passenger, George W. Bush, says " I am the President of the United States of America. I have a huge responsibility in world politics. And apart from that, I am the most intelligent President in the history of the country and I have a responsibility to my people not to die". So he takes a parachute and jumps.
The fourth passenger, the Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a ten year old schoolboy "I am already old. I have already lived my life, as good person and a priest I will give you the last parachute". The boy replies "No problem, there is also a parachute for you. America's most intelligent President has taken my schoolbag..." ;-)

No Vicoden For Me
So I finally got my wisdom teeth out. But like Nuala, I have to cross drug addict off my list of future careers. The masochist that I am, I took the dosage of Vicoden and attempted to still go to work the day after I got my teeth out. But those plans were abruptly cancelled when I got out of the shower, fainted and hit my head on the bathroom floor. Then I couldn't eat anything either because the Vicoden made me want to puke anything that even threatened to cross my lips. Not to mention the acute pain of a bruised and woozy head.
I had already taken out the top left tooth because it came out early. This time, my dentist took out my teeth on the upper and lower right side. For the bottom right tooth, he had to grind away some tooth and some bone to get it out...so now my jaw hurts too. After a week I have to get the stitches out and he'll decide what he wants to do about the tooth on the lower left side. It is impacted and turned a bit, so he might have to refer me to a specialist. In any case, I get to do this all over again. Bleah. Unfortunately there is no reprieve offered in the form of Vicoden. I'm trying to get my mom to make her famous hash brownies, but so far no luck...
