So I decided the basement idea won't work at all. I was set and resigned to my fate until I randomly texted my friend Mody the other day to see how she was doing, and it turns out my guardian angel, Birdie, talked to her about my needing a new place. As it happens, she has a room open in her place in Sugarhouse, and I looked at it yesterday. Her roommate was nice, and she's super awesome herself, so the only qualms I have is moving all of my many things out there (I hate the moving process), and possibly the lighting. I'm so dumb with things like that. Lighting affects my mood, but so do roommates who talk blowhorn style into their phones and say the F word 5 or 6 times in the course of a 5 minute phone call. I had totally forgotten this was a common occurrence because my memory sucks, and it really makes it worse that you can hear everything from my room. It wouldn't be a problem in the basement, but the new roommate would surely have a problem with this as much as I do unless they were already friends with said roommate, and I predict drama. Did I mention I think she's a great person? I'm going to have a ridiculous amount of studying next semester though, and I won't be able to pull it off with the noise, even if there isn't additional noise provided by other people. And she is dramatic, as this particular phone call proved. Pure drama at that Olive Garden in Sandy. Man I'm getting good at whining about my life. Hopefully that will change with my surroundings.
Anyway, I think Liz would let me buy new lamps...perhaps? The room looks much the same size as my one now, but there are 2 closets. The house is just below Sugarhouse park and the neighborhood looks okay. It's nothing compared to my house now, because my backyard and all the greenery are nothing short of awesome, and hammock spot, but you give and choose a little when it comes to these things.
So now I need to tell Meg and Jackie. I don't know if our landlord will trust Jackie and 2 new people to stay there though, so I need to talk to Meg about the options first. As much as I'm partially afraid of Jackie's reaction, I'm worried about Meg's because I don't want her to think less of me. Moving out to live with mormons and all. I respect her a lot, and have loved living with her. And I hope to hang out with her before she moves to New York this November now that we both have actual time to hang out. She said I should come visit her and JC in New York and stay with them, which I told her would happen if she actually invited me, and she totally did, so there you go.
Now I just have to think about how to go about this...

That is great news. If I was in Utah, I'd be over there helping you pack up. Wanna send me some $$$ to pay for the flight? Hey--you did mention that you wanted to spend more time with me. It would just take a little sacrifice on your part :)
Good luck talking to your roommates. I'm sure it's not as big as a deal as it is in your head. They'll get over it. Good luck!
I was so glad that I mentioned it to Liz. It's really awesome that she just happened to need a new roommate at the same time you did. I think you definitely have an answered prayer there.
And if you need help moving, H has a truck now and could offer some help, I'm sure. I also think that telling your roommates will go a lot better than you think it will. Love you.
I just moved myself, and believe me its not super fun. But once you do it I am sure things will look better. Plus if you need help i would totally help you! Good luck with your decision. Deciding where to live can always be tricky. But you'll make the right choice i am sure!
Moving is the uber pits (!) but once you're done, it's so nice to think that you don't have to move again for a bit :) Or at least, that's the idea, right? I wasn't aware that you had such residence canundrums! You can live in my basement. It's not finished now but if you wanted to live there, we could probably finish it for you :) We even have a fridge that looks like a shrunken black tall one that you could use. We'd give you an Awesome Friend Deal on the rent, lol
Yay! I'm excited you are going to move in with us. Juanjula (our new nickname for the other basement girl that lives with us) is staying at least until september, which we are SO excited about. You'll laugh your head off over here when you're not studying (something you might need your head for). Let me know if you need help moving in. Lamps are a go!
