chicago! my kind of town...

so i'm on vacation. i'm staying at my best friend's new house. as in, she owns it. i can barely afford my next latte and she has a house. i have 200K of debt, and now she does too, but she actually has a place to live (yeah, i still don't have an apt and now i can't even continue looking until after the 18th when i get back).

for all who are feeling my absence in their comment boxes, sorry. kate doesn't have internet in the house yet so i'm stopping by her parents house to briefly check e-mail but don't have time to run through my bloglines subscriptions. i'll do so when i get to CA.

have done lots of lazing around and surprisingly, it feels good. she has the cutest dogs and i've been fulfilling my dog fix (i'll post pics when i get back). i've always been too tightly wound to appreciate much R&R but i think my body really needed this. although, my body also needs an apt. pronto. shit.

library adonis finally called saturday. said he'd meant to call me every day since last sunday when he thought there might be a chance to get together to play but that work has kept him too busy. i believe him, but a "hey, i got your message and i can't do anything this week" phone call would have been nice. to be fair, i kept myself so busy last week that i didn't notice his lack of phone call as much as i normally would have. i had bigger things to concern myself with (i.e. finding cardboard boxes and scoping out a safe park bench to sleep on, come my impending homelessness).

a funny story for you. S's new roommate T was talking about how this guy eddie responded to her housing ad, saying her ad intrigued him, would she want to get together sometime. she actually called him and went out with him on friday night. i check my e-mail sunday morning to find this:

"Hi Jasmine

Writing to you following up on your inquiry for a room I had available. Unfortunately I will no longer be able to rent the space as I ended upsetting a studio for myself. Yet, after reading your email, I found you nice and easy going. I was intruiged, so I wanted to write you back.

I am 27, easy going, laid back, but outgoing at the same time. I love to laugh and make others laugh. I am attractive about 5'11, 165lbs, light skin, dark brown dyes, dark full hair. I am Latin andIndian mix. My mother is from Brasil, while my father is Indian. I work fora firm in Manhattan as Vice President of network engineering. I love my job, and I have workedhard to be where I am today. I was born and raised in Long Island, NY. I like all kinds of music, to dance, and just go out and have fun. I like todine out, travel to nice places, play sports and just walk around the city. I love to laugh and to make others laugh. I also can speak multiple languages. I am currently unattached.

I am looking for someone nice, who enjoys life,is able to carry a conversation, has goals, and is not into any games with a companion. I would like someone to share good times with, to trust and just have fun together. If this is something that intrests you please email me back and then we can take it from there. I appologize if I offended you inanyway by writing back in this manner. Hope to talk to you soon. !

Eddie"

can you believe that? instead of answering personal ads, he's been answering housing requests. T had gotten the EXACT same e-mail. i want to fuck with this guy. any ideas of what i write him back? i think T and i should teach him not to harass people looking for apartments and to go check out the "men seeking women" section on cragislist instead...
