It's Official...I'm Homeless

The angry old lady I live with has given me a week to move out. Her breaking points?

- I didn't use both hands to shut the door when I was leaving for lunch today OR when I went out yesterday evening. This caused the door to shut more loudly than she likes.

- She said I was "stinking up" her apartment with my perfume, which I never used for this very reason.

She called me while I was having lunch to yell -- YELL -- at me over this stuff. The convo kind of went like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Phone rings, I see it's Erica.]

Me: Oh, great. [answers] Hello?

Erica: Yeah, hi, Sarah. I have asked you to use two hands to close the door and you're not doing it. You shut the door loudly last night, too, when you went out.

Me: No I didn't. I did it quietly.

Erica: [getting agitated] You didn't use two hands, you did it loudly last night, not when you came in, but when you left to go out.

Me: No, I shut the door quietly [knowing that it was actually too loud for her].

Erica: -- and you used your perfume the other night -- now this is how it's going to be --

Me: I never used perfume.

Erica: Well, I'm not going to argue with you --

Me: [cheerfully] Good! :) [hangs up]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I called her back, of course, because I felt a little guilty and knew that this wasn't going away.

Me: Erica?

Erica: Yeah, hi Sarah. I can't have you stinking up my apartment with your perfume, I told you this at the interview.

Me: Erica, I never used --

Erica: Just be out by the end of the month.
-------------------------------------------
Ok.

So, with about two weeks left in this semester, I'm looking for a place to stick myself and my stuff. I wish it was warmer outside!

What's the Problem?


Jennifer Hudson's mom and brother were killed at her mother's Chicago home this weekend, and her 9-year-old nephew may have been killed as well. Even the rich and famous aren't immune to the maniacal actions of violent half-breeds and psychos.

In the spot usually occupied by a homeless person at the 25th Street entrance for the uptown E train, I saw something that made me scared: His possessions were still in that spot, but spreading around them on the dirty asphalt, and being partially absorbed by a bed sheet, was a large pool of blood. I mean, I'm a menstruating female; I know what blood looks like on a bed sheet, so trust me on this.

What is the world coming to?

In other news, John McCain's brother Joe called 911 to complain about the traffic. Twice.

Quit Bitching and Get a Job/Home/Soundproof Room


The homeless community that lives across the street is being especially noisy tonight.


I think it would be funny if I bought some discount bullhorns and passed them out to my homeless neighbors at like, 3 a.m., which is when they start hollering the most.
