New Apartment!
2003-09-26 | 12:11 p.m.
Half an hour ago, I was crammed in the armpits of random Australians, inhaling the repulsive brew of gratuitous cursing, imbibing and overall rough and tumble Aussie sportsman behaviour. This is the duty of the friend of the Australian: accompany him/her to watch the Aussie Rules grand final.

I admit, I had no clue what was going on. A lot of volleyball-like serves and punching. And a lot of good looking men (with peas for brains, may I add), walking around the bar like peacocks, however none display an array of feathers at their back; instead, they adroitly slide up the staircase holding three pitchers of intoxicating juice without dropping a freaking morsel.

I left Corinne at the bar with a lovely lass from Adelaide because I was hot as hanky and also was eager to return to the flat to give my roommate my one month notice of leave.

YES. I AM GOING TO LIVE ON MY OWN FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! Excluding my good fortune in Calgary where I had a three bedroom apartment all to myself for one month, this is the first time where I - personally - have signed a lease, where I get to move my own bed in, where I get to garnish my refrigerator and freaking shelves with whatever the refrigerator-garnishing woman inside me desires! This is where I get to choose whatever I want to put up on my walls, where I get to sit on my balcony whenever I choose to and fart whenever I damn well please.

Fifteen minutes ago I was worried. But my roommate was so comfortable with the news, revealed that she's had so many roommates it doesn't phase her, and that everything is hunky dory.

And I have a new apartment. But I will be having at least seven guests in the next five months. And there's much to be done.
