Hallefuckinglujah!

Hi Green:
Just left you a voicemail, sorry it took the better part of today to get back to you, but I do want to take the place. I am going to be running around tomorrow but please call me on my cell at (415) 777-whothefuckcaresthisisn'tarealnumberanyway so we can discuss the details/next steps etc. Thanks and hope you are having a good weekend! -THE NEW STEAMROLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to thank the Academy
I would like to thank my brother, for showing me how to attach pictures to my ad to make it better and for co-signing my lease, trusting me to
A. Find a roommate
B. Not get shit-canned and therefore become unable to pay my rent, leaving the burden to him
I would like to thank everyone who came to see my place, for being - even if a bit weird - relatively normal and not killing me
I would like to thank all the potential roommates who offered to take off their shoes upon entering the apartment
I would like to thank the Head Grandma at work for worrying about me each time she knew I had a potential roommate coming over, which reminded me to take little safety precautions*
I would like to thank my dad, for respecting my position when I asked him to stop asking me how the roommate search was going
I would like to thank every reader of my blog who read my whining about this process
I would like to thank my friend's kid, for helping coin the term "The New and Improved Steamroller"
I would like to thank Craigslist for giving me a place to post an ad for free
I would like to thank the New and Improved Steamroller (yes, she'll get her own name) for sending me this e-mail, thus making a very dreary and rainy Saturday fucking awesome
I would like to thank myself, for just last night deciding "I should make a list of all the crap I'm putting off buying until I have a roommate"

*Safety precautions simply consisted of not locking the door after letting people in, keeping my cell phone in my pocket, and always positioning myself closer to each door than they were, which is easier and requires less thinking than it sounds

Congratulations and I know the feeling! My mom gave me $100 (I only asked for $40) yesterday so I wouldn't have to make my own $10 stretch 12 more days until payday. I am in my 30's:)

Oh, yay! Hoping she's the anti-Steamroller. Does she know how to fix draft-y spots in the apartment?

Congrats on finding new digs AND finding a roommate. Not an easy task, either one.

Woo Hoo for you! I hope she proves to be non-crazy and fully weaned from her mommy's teat. Good luck!
