Welcome to Brooklyn, Put Your Lighters Up!
Damon and I moved into a new place this week in Brooklyn. The place is a whole hell of a lot closer to my work (the train lets out directly in front of my office door). The move has also shaved about $900 bucks off of our monthly rent, and Damon and I finally have separate bedrooms with our entrances, which has been really nice for both of us. I haven't had a room to myself in over 5 years and Damon hasn't seen he was 19 or so. Its been really good for both of us to have our private time. As well as we get along, you don't want to spend the rest of your life sharing a bedroom with your ex boyfriend.
The move was really last minute. We had VERY little time to get out of our old apartment and into our new one and we wound up doing the whole thing from the looking, to signing the lease, to moving in all in
three days! We were really down to the wire on that, but things seem to always work that way in New York for whatever reason. The first week here was the usual New York nightmare of moving into a new place. The heat broke, the hot water went out, and we even had the pleasure of a visit from a little rodent who stared at me while eating my bread atop the refridgerator. Those problems have since been worked out. The neighborhood we live in is really great! Its young and friendly and there are lots of cute boys around. The area is filled with cute little coffee shops and lots of places to eat. Also there are two really big groceries stores closeby.
