More apocalypse, less angst
Active neurosing.
I’ve been reminded lately how alike apartment hunting and internet dating are: unpleasant, nerve-wracking, and full of the potential for rejection (not to mention the actual rejection). You get all dressed up and put on your best smile, only to find out that there’s someone sexier, and with better references already handing over the first month’s rent before you even knock on the door.
Why I have decided to engage in mindless internet-dating at the same time I am also apartment hunting is beyond me. Apparently I really needed to punish myself for my burgeoning workaholism….. which is another thing making me a bit panicky at the moment. Ack!
But really, I’m fine.. and a few drinks tonight should help me knock the stress down a level or two (oh no! am I also fostering a problem with alcohol!?). Over-diagnosing, active neurosing… Am I ever glad Friday is here….
All kidding aside – I didn’t get the place on Charles, but I have four places to look at between tonight and tomorrow afternoon. Plus, meeting up for dinner/drinks with friends which seems like something I’m in need of at the moment. Send good house-hunting energy my way friends! My goal is get myself housed by the end of this weekend.

Best of luck with the house hunt. I don’t know if you use it, but craigslist.com has a few decent places listed right now and they’ll probably add more over the next couple of days.
