Event L: The Roomie
Maybe I should tell you how I got here. In short, I graduated from LSU in May. My apartment lease was up in Baton Rouge so I moved in with my parents until I could decide what to do. Costa Rica was looking dangerous, so I decided to make a move to New Orleans. I looked on craigslist for a one bedroom, but they were very expensive. So, I did something crazy. I looked in the roommate section of craigslist. The first one I found read: Apt with balcony. I'm not crazy. Look me up on Facebook. Done. Here I am. I love my apartment. My roommate might be a little crazy, but we are like two peas in a pod. Fun times. I love it here.
Event Q: Sharing is Caring
Maybe the third or fourth week I was here, I went into the kitchen one night for late-night snack. I flicked on the lights and I had a visitor. It was a rat. I know it was a rat because he had a big fat tail even though he wasn't very big. I screamed and I think he screamed a little too, then we both ran in opposite directions. I haven't seem him since, only traces of his presence. Like when there was a hole in the saran wrap over my homemade banana nut bread. I thought the heat melted the plastic, so i went ahead and ate the piece. It was delicious. The next day there was another hole in a different spot and some turds. That's when i realized that me and the rat had shared a piece of banana nut bread. This apartment isn't big enough for the two of us...
Event R: Quick Draw
...nor is it big enough for the roaches. For a little while we were having a problem with the roaches. I kept meeting up with them by the sink. I would run to get the Raid or a paper towel, but i was never fast enough. Then, one night I had enough. I moved a plate from the sink, and one darted out across the counter, only this time, I was the fast one. He didn't even have time to pause and see the rage and fury behind my eyes before his quick death. With no thought or hesitation, I reached out and crushed him with my bare fist. Ever since that day, no roach dares to cross my path.
Event K: The Jerk
The other day, Josh Harvey called me a boy/girl. I've always been tomboyish, so I wasn't actually offended, but I like giving him a hard time about it. Josh, you are such a jerk! LOL.
Event W: The Twilight Saga
I don't normally read books, but the girl part of me has sucked me into the Twilight Saga. I'm almost through with the New Moon book. Today, before I got to work, Bella was just about to kiss Jacob Black when Alice (Edward's sister) busted in!!! I am, of course, thrilled that Alice came back so they could rush to Italy to save Edward, BUT I wanted her to kiss the werewolf first!!! I would kiss Jacob and Edward. It would be hard to decide in the end though....the werewolf or the vampire. Life is full of tough decisions.
I hope you enjoyed my first blog entry. I will be sure to write some more because there are many more equally exciting events occurring every day in my life, so stay tuned.
