Things I keep forgetting about sharing a house: Most of the people who would be renting to me, aren't going to care that I don't have a checking account, as long as I pay the rent. Many of them are not going to ask for security deposits. They're also rather inexpensive.

In other words, I could move a lot sooner than I was planning. Go me. :^) Need to chat with

ruby_wings about that--there was a reason we all had the date of April 1st pegged for leaving.

Neato looking house. Doesn't talk about their eating habits, and most places that are vegetarian or mostly-so, tell you. There are so many houses out there full of vegetarians and/or vegans, I can be pretty picky on that one.

There are eight gazillion posts to that part of craigslist every day. Heh.

Yah, I'll figure out the job thing after I move. Admittedly, there is a receptionist position open for the registration desk downtown. I keep waffling on whether or not to apply. I think I will. I also need to write up my dang resume. One way or another, I'm not going to be working where I do now...it's just too dang far from where I want to live. I never did get around to applying at OHSU, ironically enough.

That first house? To get to work at eight am, I'd have to leave at 6:40. Ouch.

I've wanted to live in SE Portland for around five years. It's about time I up and did it. Every time I think about it, I get all excited, and kinda like....omg, am I really going to do that? Finally? I almost can't believe it.

Things to always keep in mind: How noisy is it in there? What kind of internet access is available? Is it a community kinda situation (which is what I'm looking for), or do people pretty much ignore each other?
