too much driving in a rusty car
May. 2nd, 2002 12:05 ami should be in bed, really...but can i ever control my compulsive need to spill words into my livejournal? so much of the time i'm not really writing, i'm literally spilling words, and sentences, as they enter my head. i think i prefer it that way.
i drove 2.5 hours to framingham to see the room that the cello lady is renting out. it was about half the size she implied it to be. i should start asking people for measurements now. i'm a little pissed. she was very nice, had a cozy house and a polite 14 year old son. but the only part of the house i'd be able to claim any ownership of, would be my smallish bedroom. which would be swallowed by my bed...no room for even a small couch, really. also, she asked me to sign a lease and wanted me to stay at least six months. can you say NO WAY?
i just realized i didn't want to live there for an extended period. last summer when i lived in a room in someone else's house, i went bonkers. i need more territory. the common areas need to be half-mine; or i need to be an equal with my housemates. Susanne's house is definitely hers. not mine. i would feel like a guest, and i'd go sour pretty quick.
but it's more than that! i came up with a theory today. from what i've seen, Framingham is a boring town. there are no coffeeshops nearby. if i were to live there, i would need to have a larger space that i could spend lots of time in comfortably. on the other hand, if i lived in an artsy, cute neighborhood i could deal with a smaller space, because it would be easy to leave and find something to do. i've got to start leaving myself with a way out.
