Prologue.
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and my ego is soaring so high I can't even control it. I am also getting an apartment! Woo hoot! This should be better than me imagining myself growing gigantic and killing people with bursts of candy.
It actually came about in a strange way however. I was doing a search on the good old world wide web and an idea taps me on the shoulder. I can tell he has something important to tell me, so I listen to him not knowing his plans. I honestly hate it when he does this because to be honest sometimes I don't want to trust him. I listen to him anyway because I think he just may be good this once. I smile as he speaks in my head. "Why not try this site?" I swear he can be so cocky sometimes I don't know even what to do with him. Rolling my eyes I do what he says. He does annoy me sometimes to the brink of my sanity, but sometimes he actually pulls through. In a nut shell, he does pull through, and I am so happy I am hugging him and kissing him like he has just saved my life. It's going to be a little apartment only for four hundred something! Woot! The sun is beaming with happiness at the prospect.
Like a traffic light changing the vents that lead up to me having a room mate were swift, vast, and completely strange. Someone walks up to me, asks me if she can be my room mate, and like an automatic machine gun my mouth says on its own "of course you can!"
So now my room mate is Connie mounts. She's going to work at McDonalds and get paid minimum wage. I on the other hand will be working at home, and get paid minimum wage. I will be a journalist in home. Beat that writer want to be's! I get to live my dream and make stuff up at the same time. Actually I won't, but I will get the chance to do reviews which is like having a new kind of leg. It's so interesting I can't even put it into words!
I have decided not to go to school because my GPA is like my hair. It's down low and not coming up for anything. I don't think that colleges will even take a 2.5 do you?? Then again I'm shocked I got the job. I thought you had to have a college degree. I think it had something to do with my boss flirting with me, but I am not sure. She did mention how lovely my eyes are though.
I just moved in, and the place looks so awesome I want to have cookies with tea! The place is wide open, and it even has a pool. It does not allow pets though. It didn't say anything about having imaginary pets though. Hmmm.
When I got in I sat my suitcase down with a sense of awe in my heart. Connie just looked like she had to go to the bathroom, which was odd because she just went like an hour ago.
I look at the bland space and I am thinking one simple thing.
"Bookshelves!" Connie looks at me like I have some sort of war on my head and says
"Later."
"Fine." I pout.
After I get moved in I can't help but think to myself as I lay on my bed at night time, listening to the wonderful yet scary sounds of my mind telling me that I have an adventure waiting for me. Turning over on my side looking out of a window, I am thinking that perhaps my mind is right. Perhaps I will embark on an adventure I will never forget. Closing my eyes for the first and final time that night. My stomach is churning. What kind of things were going to happen to us? Was I going to get sick and have to have my nose be amputated? The land lady seemed nice though twinkling her eyes at me today. I smiled at her only to get socked by an invisible hand because she was looking at a beautiful bird flying in the sky. She didn't love me. Oh well. Looking out of the window that night I did not know many things. I did not know if I would even survive this encounter, I didn't know if things would turn out good, I didn't know if we would even have hot water for long, but I did know one thing. I was cold, and witty.
