Beat by Hope
So last night I saw this amazing apartment in Greenwich Village. It was in a MEWS! Like a carriage house behind the actual apartment building that is on the street. Very cute. Gardens on both sides! 300 sq ft! It was an illegal sublet but whatever. Anyway I was really into it and the guy renting it seemed really excited about me and I was filled with….hope. For the first time ever. Hope. It feels a little strange and I didn’t realize what it was. And then I figured it out later. Hope. It kind of feels warm and fuzzy, but also sparkley. You know like fairies and ponies and unicorns, shit like that.
And then he told me he had to go with the first person who looked at the apartment. Which was not me. I was crushed by hope. This must be what Hillary feels like. Beat by hope. Bleah. I’m right back where I started. I’m never feeling any hope ever again. EVER. It sucks.
annie: Screw HOPE…cuz you still got LUCK. At one time there were thousands of horses living in NYC in mewzee compartments better than yours. Just a matter of time until you find the 1 4 U.
ew. if he had to go with the first one who came by then why is he still showing the apt??? i hate the rental market in nyc. supposedly tenants have the right of way but somehow manage to get screwed anyway. just stick to crossing the street.
Jon: Yeah my luck isn’t so good right now and sucking away at my hope. They are kind of related I guess. Fuckers!
Weirdo: I KNOW! Also, he wanted to check out the educational website I work for because he’s a high school teacher so I was like, sweet dude, I’m so in. The shit I work on is big in schools (educational cartoons that teach crap). Then when he rejected me he was like sorry charlie, but I’m totally into the site for my students. Let’s KIT. Sigh.
It could be worse. You could live in Boston.
But seriously, jon’s right I think. The right place will come along, and when it does, you will whip it.
That’s too bad, it would have been interesting to read posts about how medium-sized your apartment is.
Hey Annie! You’re better off gettin’ some legal accomodations cuz that guy could render your homies homeless at any time……besides, that was a shady tactic to get you all hopped up on HOPE anyways…….what a bitch?!?!?
