As if my life wasn't complicated enough right now....i lost my wallet...NOW it officially sucks to be me....but i will be getting a pennsylvania state id today AND i'm planning to work my way over to the red cross today to get a 360$ check and then go cash it at a shady check cashing place(which of course will be located right next door to a pawn shop...).
we've met sooo many of our neighbors now...and they are all pretty great. my favorite so far is this new york fashion designer from the early 90's named batina. she is still doing trade shows, but she has all of these avant garde black and white photographs of her designs in poster form on her walls...AND over the weekend she just kept showing up at our house with anything from pots and pans, to dishes and mattresses and a tv...
we'll just say that had she seen us picnicing on the floor last night with chinese, she would have shown up 10 minutes later at our door hauling a table on her back!!!
she's got soooo many cool stories about when she lived in soho as a bohemian arts mecca before it became the shopping area we now know. lots of fun. most of our other neighbors are families and grad students...pretty quiet. we are actually the loudest on the block probably...[THE WHOLE HOUSE, NOT JUST ME OKAY!!] oh, and we have dubbed our house the KVAG: Katrina Victim Architecture Group, but will probably shorten that to VAG-and knowing the maturity level of our house it will be pronounced as the first syllabul of vagina...
"hey did you hear theirs a party tonight at the VAG house?" funny because we do have 4 guys and 2 girls....come up with your own dirty joke from there...
oh, and we had to find another roommate, since one of the original arch students that is here found another place to go...so now there is this guy david who is going to be moving in sometime this week. can't discern an age yet, but he looks to be anywhere from 21-26, vegan, smokes, not a student--just moving to the area from scranton(?) new jersey or new york{to all original northeastern dwellers, please forgive this southerner for her lack of directional/city/state navigation} kind of a skitsy hippy type, but seems really cool from the 20 minutes that i talked to him.
" you might be a redneck jedi if you hear 'luke, i am your father....and your uncle...' "
yep, i know it's lame, and yep i know you love me for finding it!!!
ok and also i didn't think that the culture in the northeast would be all that much different....but it pretty much is, ALL THE WAY AROUND....and i like it!! i am still feeling a little like a fish out of water, but most of my housemates are from the northeast so i do feel like i'm slowly but surely being assimilated...
