its been too long, but not long gone (there is almost no point to this post)

so it has been almost a month since i have last posted, and to all of my faithful followers...i truly apologize. i did not mean to give you folk the impression that i have abandoned/forgot about you or my blog!

so love!

has nothing happened in the past month? is that why i am not writing?

do i no longer find humour in my banal life? is that why i am not writing?

am i so busy that i no longer have time for writing? is that why i am not writing?

i do not know the answers to these deep and profound rhetorical questions. Except that the answers are No, Yes, and I guess so...

Lets discuss shall we...

Has nothing happened in the past month? NO.
Of course stuff has happened. In the past month i have continued to couch surf and...its been quite an experience. Since the last post i have slept on my cousin's couch, my friend's couch, and my own couch. My roommate and I moved into a furnished apartment, but as far as beds go...we have one single bed and one futon. Both of which we used to call "sex-proof" because you cannot have sex in them without hearing very VERY loud and awful screeching in the other room. But in all honesty, it is not just that these beds are "sex-proof," but are more acurately, "inhaling-proof."

Along with moving into a new place in the beginning of May, my roommate and i also decided we wanted to move out of this exact place at the end of May. The apartment was just not up to our standards. My cousin even came with me before i signed the sublet lease to give me that extra clarity that you always need when househunting, but he obviously failed to provide it. What originally seemed like a clean, safe, well-priced apartment became a dirty (really dirty...probably the subject of a future post), small apartment with awful sublettees (or subletters? the ppl who subletted to us).

We then had to go through the stress of finding a new apartment for June-August, as well as trying to rent out this shitty apartment. Instead of using the internet to check out globe and mail and new york times, i now had craigslist and kijiji bookmarked...both of which failed to help us out in finding sublet victims to the dive in which we live (also topic of a future blog post).

Anyways...i could go on, but i wont. (wait for future blog posts)

I no longer find humour in my banal life? True
This is probably the result of my life being blasé (synonym for banal)

Am i so busy that I no longer have time for writing? I guess?
Oh geez! i have definately been too busy for writing. I have been too busy to sit down, relax, and just write. My time has been filled up with answering inquiries about craigslist, telling annoying house-hunters that i will not negotiate the price and that if the apartment is too expensive or not nice enough then it is OBVIOUSLY not what they are looking for. Im sorry that there is no double bed...i am not buying you one to put in the apartment. I am sorry that the door is really heavy...i am not gonna stand here for June-August and open it for you. I am sorry that you want to move in early...where do you expect us to go? And i really dont care about your issue with parking...i wish my bike lock wasnt so heavy. One guy condescendingly kept pressuring me to inquire about parking, telling me "that parking is a really big issue in the city, you know." Umm....its not AN issue..its YOUR issue. So get over it. Do you want the apartment or not? No? Okay, now get off my property and out of my face. Once you leave, Im gonna continue stealing free wireless and watching free cable. Ciao! And when i am done, im gonna hop over to a really cute street around the corner of my "cozy" apartment and sit out on a patio of one of the picturesque little cafes and drink a cappuccino and forget that you tried to ruin my day!

Maybe i do have the perfect apartment....
