Moving On Up

hi. i'm in new york. i have two internships and the sun beats down on you like an abusive father.

i am living with strangers. let me tell you a little bit about it.

the apartment is in a converted warehouse.

there are two cats and one dog.

my 3 roommates are goth. all of their clothes are made up shredded black fabric and the rest of their bodies are covered in tattoos. there are empty boxes everywhere, and there is no trash can. only a trash bag on the floor, which the dog eats out of.

also there is no microwave.

also there is no air conditioning.

my room is decorated in skulls. there is a holographic photo of dr. jekyll/mr. hyde. there is not a window, but there is a wall made of glass bricks with a tiny hole in the top. the only movie is donnie darko. i'm very afraid to open the drawers.

i'm positive that if i looked long enough, i would find cocaine.

good news is that the fridge is completely stocked! full of expired food. it reminds me of when my roommate brittany forgets to put saran wrap on leftovers. except that is the case with every item.

but the cat food is organic. really, people, buy food for yourself and not your cat! see prior entry about walmart cat lady.

there is no hand soap in the bathroom. i bought some from duane reed today. they will think the soap fairies came.

all of the roommates have died their hair black, and is shaved off in different places. by the way, i found this place on craigslist and one of the benefits was that i could get a free haircut.

i am a little tired of long hair, but...

when you set foot in my room, a little cloud of dust puffs up.

i wear flip flops in the shower. ah, dorm days...

there is a baby doll with no eyes on a shelf in the living room.

other than that, it's not bad. i'm a little anxious about the first time i have to get into the warehouse fortress while intoxicated. they gave me seven keys, and most of them don't work. there are 8 locks, some of which are irrelevant. i approximate this adventure will transpire within 48 hours.

pictures coming soon!
