You know that feeling you get when you met someone and you know you guys totally click?
Well, it happened to me yesterday. The big room in the house I'm renting from was available and she came by to see it. We spoke briefly about it but she was reluctant to move in because it was just too expensive for 1 person. I never took a good gander at this room across the hall from me so I took a look and was very impressed with the amount of space and the balcony. Our conversation was very amicable and open. So we decided to take the conversation to a local bar where I was going to meet some ex-flatties for a crab race. We spoke about being roomies and discussed certain rules about not allowing ill will to fester... and for once I'm going to be sharing a room with someone else! I haven't felt quite so relaxed and SETTLED. Sensibly, I will leave my expectations low until one month has passed, but V and I are very common and I'm very excited to see how I can contribute to her film career. ... I'm also saving AU$160 a month!
All in all, yesterday was very good. My ex-flatties and my uni buddy, Sharon, and her new beau (from the Laundrette -- well, it's called the Laundrette coz that's where girls pick up 'suits' -- get it?) met up at the Scubar with us as well and had a fun time chatting away. Only my ex-flatties and I were left by the time the crab race started 1.5 hours late. There were too many people and the crabs were too small to see much, but we did get to see a girl flash her boobies. To round out the night, we went to the supermarket as if it was just another weekday... I think I can get used to this place... :)
