Okay... we're looking at houses and apartments in Charlottesville pretty steadily. I've been reading the want ads for a couple months... And now we're calling places.

Actually, explodingcat is calling places. For some reason, I can't bear to call strangers on the phone. Boy, horribly shy, can call these places, while social me cannot. ;)

Anyhow, I don't understand landlords. They advertise places they want to fill NOW. THey didn't advertise last week or last month, but NOW. See, I read my lease, I give one-two months' notice, per the lease agreement. I like to have a place lined up BEFORE I give notice. Why don't landlords realize this? Are other renters so evil and late?

I think my lease is up in June. Blegh. I'm willing to overlap a month or two... these are really terrible landlords. (Hence my freezing to death!) The whole "own bathroom" thing is merely because last year, I had to share ONE bathroom with five. really. really. effeminate actor-boys. I became murderous...

*dances* Xiane told me to check out Neighborhood... I'm not sure what's the deal with them, except they are cheap, and the guy I talked to said they specialize in "dilapidated victorian." Heh. I know it's going to be insane to try to find a single apartment for cheap... I have a friend who might want to rent with me, but knowing his tendency to skip town randomly, I'm a little spooked.

Speaking of Spooks, heehee, you should talk to the boy! I'd be like the poingy little sister you never had or particularly wanted. I always confine the kitty; he's an evil beastie who tries to run out front doors and such if I let him into the house. Kya, such fun it would be! Finally, people who would help me lace up my corset... ^-~
