Brand Spankin' New.

Fancy pants new look...I'm going to tweak it and make it more my own, but for now this'll do. You people don't know how much work went into putting all my crap (ie: the comments and whatnot) back on. I'm not cut out for the "coding" dealie.

Anyway, I actually got an email inquiring about the movie quote title for my last post. It was from Mystery Men which came out a while ago, and wasn't particularly good, but I did like the PMS-Avenger. I admit it was a stretch.

So, Jamie and I decided that we're not gonna live together next year. Hope he doesn't mind that I'm writing about it here (I'll find out soon enough). While the negatives of this decision are pretty clear (none of that Jamie goodness!), there are some very tantalizing positives. I will now solely focus on these positives to ease my breaking heart:

1. Less tofu! While I like tofu in small doses, the thought of that tofu concoction that Jamie threw together at the end of last summer when we were trying to empty out the contents of our fridge still makes me shudder. I get to put off being a vegetarian for a few more years!

2. DSL! If Jamie and I lived together, we would be dirt poor. If I live in a house full of post-grads or TFA corps members, our combined efforts will be able to afford us cable television and internet. All of the apartment listings I have seen so far included DSL in the price. Sweet.

3. Baltimore is cheaper! I can actually afford to do stuff for fun if I live in Baltimore! Seriously, it's like half the price...almost.

4. The Ocean! Nice to be closer to it. Not to mention, Baltimore also has a nice National Park going for it in the mountains to the north.

5. Did you know that Baltimore is the center for research on the urban ecosystem? I thought that was really interesting.

6. Sleep! Less driving equals more sleep.

7. Teaching buddies! If I live in a row house with other TFA members it'll be like we have our own little frat/sorority! Except without the snottiness! And the Greek letters! And the kegs...okay, maybe we won't be like a frat, but it will be nice to be around people sharing a similar experience and who I can trade "war" stories with.

That's all for now because I can't believe I've been writing this instead of studying for my final. DEATH!
