Recap of Rachel's life

Since you all abandoned me to your happy little homes, here's what has happened:

Nick and I decided to move in with Katti/Oliver (in their GIANT house) because it would be way cheaper. I didn't really want to but $250ish compared to the $805 that we're paying where we are sounded great. (House residents: Katti, Oliver, Ben, Ben's new gf, Elliott, Dickhead, Mumbling Man, Jeremy)

The only problem was, they didn't have a room for us.

So they decided to kick out one of the two roommates who were not paying rent on time.

Once that was decided, one of Katti/Oliver's roommates, Dickhead, made a pass at me. I didn't care but Nick refused to move in with Katti/Oliver after that. He later recanted but it didn't matter because....

Two days later, while she was trying to tell him he was a douchebag (but in a nice way) Dickhead made a pass at Ben's new girlfriend, WannabeWinehouse.

WW told Ben they couldn't live in the house anymore.

Katti/Oliver were just going to try to find new roommates when they found out that Dickhead knew he screwed up and hit on WW just to screw everyone over.

Ben kicked Dickhead out.

Mumbling Man left. Without paying rent. Without telling everyone.

So Katti/Oliver decided to forget about living in the awesome house and I suggested we find a place together since our lease was up at the same time (August 1st).

We were leisurely looking at places and everything was going smoothly until Nick and I found out our lease was actually up June 30. Not August 1st.

Nick, Katti, Oliver and I went into frantic apartment hunting mode. Every place we looked at was too small for Katti.

Finally Nick and I decided to just pay fifty dollars more to stay at our apartment for another month.

After looking at a few more places (each too small for all the things Katti/Oliver had gathered during their six and a half years together) someone had the brilliant idea of looking at a three bedroom apartment in the apartment complex we are in now.

We checked it out, it passed and we decided to take it.

We sign the lease on Friday. And Nick and I are going to move all our stuff in on that same day.

We can manage this because the three bedroom apartment is across the sidewalk from our current apartment. So it's down the stairs, out the door, across a sidewalk and ta da!

I am just so excited that this whole thing is over. Finally.

I am so glad you found a place to live! I was beginning to worry that you and nick would end up camping on Aquinas' large lawn, which would have been very cool, but I am afraid the cats would have been sad.

Darling, that is... disgustingly dramarama. I'm glad you made it out of there alive, without mumbling people or wannabes or whatever causing you any permanent damage!!

I'm glad that everything is working out OK. Finding a place to live is ridiculously hard work. And three bedrooms? Room for........guests? ;)

Also if your life was a movie, I feel Mumbling Man would be played by Will Ferrell. This line made me crack up "Mumbling Man left. Without paying rent. Without telling everyone."
