Apartment hunting SUCKS!!!

**luv** · 02:17 AM

I already have a place of my own. It's a great location in SW Springfield. I pay $495 for a one bedroom. That includes cable and high speed cable internet, and I moved in when they were brand spanking new. There's not enough parking spaces for the people that live in each building, which sucks, but, other than that, I like it here. I'm really wanting more space. This is 750 square feet, but I have so much stuff, that I'm feeling kinda cramped. I'm looking for a two bedroom place. Problem is, I'm spoiled by having this high speed internet included in my rent. Any place that does that charges way more than I can afford for a two bedroom. I've been apartment hunting just to see what's out there. My ideal space would be two bedroom, not be trashy looking (or smelling) and be cheap enough that I can get a cable/internet package with Mediacom, and be paying about what I pay now for rent. I can't afford to pay more. A few places I've looked asked when I would be looking to move. I tell them December 1, and they say to get back with them a month before that to see what they have available, if anything. I am not giving notice at my apartment on November 1 without already having another place lined up! I thought about finding a roommate to split a duplex or something, but I'm too used to my freedoms.

Anyway, no real point to this thread. Just relieving some frustration by getting it off my chest. Thanks for listening (or reading).

Yeah it can be pretty frustrating but im sure you will find something. I went through some problems hunting form my latest place but it worked out nicely.

Also you may be able do better on the internet prices if you hunt around online or try and call them. Seems like the prices they advertise are usually much higher than the ones you can get with their specials.

Dont underestimate you location if you like it there. Day to day convience is really nice.

I'm sure you can find a roommate that can put up with your naked web surfing habits, mine doesn't mind at all, erm I mean, doesn't know....

Yeah. I won't be disappointed if I don't find anything. I love this apartment. I looked at a few places the past few days. It's good to know I can be picky and take my time, since I like where I'm at if I end up staying.

You do this too! lol

The only roomie I will have will be my man (if I ever find one). And, even then, I won't get anything that I won't be able to afford on my own if I give him the boot..uhhh...I mean if things don't work out between us.

Yeah thats definitly nice. Much better than when moving cities.

BTW i have another random movie suggestion for you. Check out Bon Voyage. Its French but not really all that foreign.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0310778/

Also L'Auberge Espagnole/The Spanish Apartment.

Cool. I will look for them. You have not steered me wrong yet. I need to check and see if there's a movie place around here that has a lot of older, independent, or foreign films. I've only gotten into them recently. I've always just gone with the mainstream Blockbuster or Movie Gallery stuff. Another way this internet access, that I can't do without, comes in handy!

They make some pretty good movies though. If it makes you feel any better two of the best movies i watched the summer were German.

Don't kiss up to him. It only feeds his already inflated ego.

If you want a real foreign film, you must get "Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky". That's some real non-American filmwork right there. Makes Jackie Chan look like Ralph Macchio.

What doesn't? Where have you been? This is Rausch we're talking about here. I've yet to see him prance around the board throwing flower pedals and singing Neil Sedaka songs.
