when lawyers get involved.

my "landlord" is refusing to give me my deposit back by the day i move out. she says that i have to find someone to fill the spot in the apartment that i wasn't occupying. my friend/roommate shelley is moving out of the front bedroom and julie says i have to find a second person to move in there and share it. even though that wasn't my room.
she's having an intern move into the room i'm in, so technically my spot IS TAKEN. so we talked calmly for awhile and she kept saying that i needed to fill shelley's spot because that is where i WAS going to move in february. but i never did move in there, so why would i have to fill the spot? finally she hung up on me saying have a good night this is going nowhere, goodnight.
and i text her saying "since you cut me off and hung up on me, this is what i was going to say-if i don't get my deposit by february 1st, i'll call my lawyer"

a couple minutes went by and she called and said "Hey, sorry i cut you off i had to call someone back. So is there anything you'd like to say?" she's VERY VERY VERY FAKE. i said "well i said what i needed to in the text. i'll call my laywer if i don't get my money on the first." and she was like
"well i think you need to think about it--"
"i've thought about it."
"...................................."

me and my two roommates were listening on speaker and she was quiet for so long, she was so scared. she tried to talk me out of it but i said obviously we can't figure it out between us, so we'll bring a third party in and he'll figure it out. she was freaked out.
i was very calm. on the outside but the inside was on fire.
we finally finished the conversation with her saying "i hope someone fills your spot" and me saying "yeah i hope so too but either way i'm getting my money"
and she said "SOOO how is everything else in your life going in nyc??"
and i was like "good. see ya." and hung up.

then i continued to post on the mormon craigs list saying there was a spot available contact AJ if you want to come look at the apartment. so if they come look and like it, i'm going to have them make the deposit out to me and whether or not julie wants to, i'll have the money right away.
just pray that someone likes it.
i took a sleeping pill in hopes of FINALLY SLEEPING.



p.s. mormon parties are always the same. no matter what state you are in.
they are just as bad, if not worse, in new york than they are in utah.
and if i have to go to another one of them, i will lose my freaking mind.

this is not your bedroom.

i posted a very long.
very funny post on here just barely.

about how i'm typing in the kitchen because...
ahh i am annoyed, it deleted it.




lets just say, there is a bro here that isn't paying rent. and that is living on our couch for free. since we only have one main room, he thinks it is his bedroom and it isn't. i'm typing in here because i hate him and want him to leave.


since its only midnight here and i can ever FREAKING SLEEP, i'll try to pull together what i lost.

okay literally two days before moving to NYC, the landlord told me that one of the roommates was having her guy friend stay here. being very panicky, nervous, and desperate-i said it was okay. well, two weeks later-ITS NOT OKAY.
we have a three bedroom, one bathroom apartment. all these rooms are connected by one huge room that is the living room/kitchen. well that is where he sleeps on OUR couch, and thinks is his room. for two weeks, we have not bothered him. whenever he is sleeping, i never go in there or turn on the lights. actually, whenever he is HOME i never go in there, because its awkward. we literally all just stay in our room when he is here.
well on saturday afternoon (seriously, it was 11:45a.m.) casey returned home from shopping. she didn't turn on any lights or open the blinds or anything, she just quietly put all her dishes away while he slept on the couch. she started to make lunch and accidently dropped her bowl and it made a loud noise. she said "sorry!!' and he said "just keep it down." well that pushed us both over the edge. we are the ones paying rent, HE IS NOT. that is OUR kitchen, we should not be uncomfortable in there, we should be able to live as if no one is in there, because he is not paying rent. he will have been here for over a month, living for free. ever since he said "keep it down" in your own house!! on a saturday afternoon!! its been even more awkward then ever. i have been spending unusual amounts of time in "HIS ROOM". i never make eye contact with him, its pretty awkward. oh and to add to it--his suitcase is in our front room sprawled everywhere. he never folds his blankets or cleans up his clothes. all his stuff including books, paperwork, and his computer are sprawled all over the table, he keeps his clothes in MY CLOSET!!! so he comes in every mother effing morning turns on the light and gets his clothes out of my closet. AND HE DOESN'T DO HIS DISHES. or help out around the house at all. i seriously asked him yesterday if he'd take out the trash because it was a huge black bag. our convo
me-"will you please take out the trash tomorrow?"
him-".....i guess."
me-"???"
him-"well i knew that question was coming, so yeah i guess i will."
me-"well its a huge bag and you're the only guy here. i guess i can TRY to take it out??"
him-"no its fine, i will."

well turns out he never took it out, so casey had to.

wow.
he's going to be so sorry he lived here.
the first time i typed all of this, i made food and ate it and used my computer on the kitchen table while he was trying to sleep. of course i was typing as loud as i could and OF COURSE i had to wash dishes to use because no one ever washes their own. while i was typing, he got up and turned off the light that i had on. lol.


in other news, we went to heath ledger's house.
it was really nice, not too many people were there, and it was a nice memorial.


i'll write tomorrow. while he's trying to sleep.

:)

homeless already?

new york is a crazy place. and it gets crazier when you have a crazy owner of your apartment.
she told me i'd have my own room when i got here. so when i moved in and found bags in my room and clothes, i was very confused. turns out, the girl who was staying in the room was actually the girl who's room it was...sister. if that makes sense. but the girl whose room this WAS decided not to move back in (I WONDER WHY), and the sister took on another bed. so it left me with my own room. me and my dad went and bought new sheets and cute things for my new room. i called julie, the owner, to let her know i wanted my own room. we really played phone tag all day, we each called each other, like, 3 times. finally, we got ahold of each other and i asked if i could officially have my own room and pay the rent that erin, the previous owner of this room, had been paying. she said "oh actually one of my interns is moving into that room and she wants her own room. so you and casey are moving into the front room together to share like we'd planned in the beginning." we'd NEVER planned this from the beginning. and just yesterday she told casey she'd have the front room by herself. so she is lying to someone and just trying to make everyone happy and it isn't working.
so, in february i have to either share a room (right now it has one bed. but she said she'd get two beds for it. we'll see.) here, OR have to find somewhere else and lose the deposit money. so its pretty crazy and very stressful. its enough to be living in new york city by myself, but its another thing having to deal with housing drama. its been such a blessing to have my dad here with me, but he's leaving sunday. if we would have known about this sooner, we could have been looking for an apartment this whole time. CRAAZY.

another interesting thing. i think i'm moving home in december for good and i might not go to summer school here.

besides the drama, i'm getting used to new york. i went to my school and loved it.

 it should be really fun, the teachers are all willing to help me and get everything figured out. i know how to get to my school and everything, yay. i talked to journeys and they offered me the jobb! its at a really busy place in midtown. right across the street from the huge macy's. i think i'm going to take the job there! the people that work there are crazy, and nice. one of them said "those eyes. thats all she needs in order to sell shoes." that is false, but was cute of him to say.
we saw the eiffel tower aka empire state building, juilliard,

 rockafeller center,

building they filmed enchanted in,

 times square. we saw legally blonde on broadway which was AMAZING. i highly reccomend it. i get bored way easily and i was entertained the whole time! we went into the huge macy's and bought a really cute coat for my dad. we went to the NBC store and bought swag. "stuff we all get." i got an office poster, and an office shirt that is too funny.

dad got a heroes hat and other shwag for my family... not amanda sorry. :(

we were going to go to chinatown tomorrow to canal street and buy designer things but now i need to find a home! its 1 am and my dad just said i needed to go to sleep. he's sleeping in the bunk bed below me and i guess he can't handle the typing:)

goodnight.
