Another day another...dead kangaroo

So today was productive. It was nice. Joan and I got up early again, really early. Jet lag is just kicking both of our asses. But I texted a lot, traded in my phone for one that worked (mine broke), and hung out with Joan's first roommate interview thing.

We met Andy, he was incredibly nice and it just seemed like he wanted to be our friend. Which was nice, since we have none down here. He showed us his house, showed us the area, bought us coffee/hot chocolate, chatted with us about tons of things, and then walked us to a place where we could find more houses/rooms to rent. It was really nice of him.

Tonight I am going to meet Reese, a girl who is moving but leaving her furnished room in Brunswick to someone. Hopefully me. We will see. It's the right price, right area, but I'm afraid the room mates and I won't get along, or something. Anyways, she's really nice and I feel like I want to live with her! Too bad she is leaving.

As well I have another meeting with a girl named Dana. I can't see the house until tomorrow, but she wanted to see if her room mates and I could all meet up and chat, see if we get along. This is the email I got from her:

"I am responding to your email regarding North Fitzroy Home - Needs 1 one more dweller to be complete
(i am at work so emailing from work email). We really want a boy and I like Jens and cupcakes so you might be perfect.
My boyfriend is also a ginger ninja so you could get along famously.
The other girls are great too.
I suggest you come and see the room immediately and we can take it from there."

It makes me pretty excited that someone actually might like me, and WANT me to live with them. It's in a nice area too, the club district, and they seem like fun girls. I'm really excited about it, and if one of those two don't work out...I'm going to be sorta screwed for a bit I think. We will see.

Sushi is $2 a roll here. It is pretty good, not the best, but not the worst. It comes with the CUTEST little fish shaped soy sauce droppers. Joan is sending one back.

Anyways, I miss some people but mainly glad I moved on. It's hard not having those people in my life but I think...well...I should see them again soon. I was upset when I got here a bit, but am pretty excited now. I just want to get a place for a month...then I will be able to relax a bit and find a place to work. I asked this super rad record shop in the CBD if they needed help and they told me to leave my name and number and they'd let me know. I hope it works out...because they were fucking killer. Bela Karoli, Slim Cessna, and everything that twist and shout has minus all the shit that twist and shout has. It was rad. They even had the Hyped to Death comps, I've only ever seen those in Othermusic. Fuck yeah.

Anyways. The Lucksmiths are playing soon, in a week, and I'm sure there are a few other bands playing. I'm excited to see them. Hopefully I have a place to live! :)

Okay, this is too much for one day, I'm going to get back to drinking wine and making myself look pretty for these girls.
:D
