*wibbly noises*

Okay, so that apartment mentioned in my last post that sounded ominous? Instincts proved correct: previous tenants had trashed the place, as in doors, windows and the bathroom sink destroyed. I should have taken pictures to show our current landlords come inspection time, to give them a little perspective.

But then I went to a second viewing an hour later. Ladies and gentlemen, I wanted to marry this apartment. Hardwood floors, one bedroom and an offshoot suitable for office space, enormous windows, enough cabinet space, closet space and outlets, all wrapped up in a gorgeous old house, costing only fifteen dollars a month more than we're paying now (with heat included), and the cats aren't a problem. Oh, and it's close enough to the current apartment that you could—no exaggeration—chuck a Frisbee out the living room window and hit this building.

Oh. My. God.

If you're not bracing yourself for the catch, you should be: they won't hold it. First come, first serve. Which means if we want it, we need to find $650 in the couch cushions somewhere, and pronto. Meep?

Now, the woman actually showed me two apartments in the same building; the other was a smaller one on the ground floor for $25 cheaper, and it would be a perfectly livable option. Unfortunately, that's also first-come-etc.-etc., so same problems apply. And if we can't get in, we keep looking, and que sera sera.

But...I really love this apartment.... *more wibbly noises*

I can float you a short-term loan for some or all of the rent. Let me know.

I can't help financially but before I read the awesomeness of your generous friends, I was going to suggest that you raise money in a shadesong-like manner. You could offer short filks of our subject choice (which you then sing and post), or flash-fic, or...... nah, I still like the filk idea best. :-)

I would give you money for recorded and/or written stuff. *nods*

(Not a lot, but every little bit helps!)

That weird sound you hear is me THINKING REALLY HARD so that things work out for the best for you.

Seriously, you need to put up a tip jar.

Call them now, say you'll take the one you really want. The money can be arranged. Trust me on this. :-)
