I'm currently in the midst of some change, well, not much as me as my roommates, but it has impacted me more than I thought. Juan is calling it quits up here in SF, and is now persuing his education and passion for dancing back in San Diego. This leaves left me without a roommate from july-->forever. But all that has changed now. Aside from my main goal of trying to get Gina to move here and be my roommate, I had planned on fining a cool SF State student. BUT juan's friend wanted to move out of oakland and into the city, so we all are now roommates, yes three of us in a one bedroom apartment. Obviously I'm not there much, if I were, I wouldn't have let her move in so early. But this upcomming situation is going to be interesting, it already has been..and i've begun to regret my hasty decision.
Things to be concerned about (in no particular order):
1.Living with a girl. I have not done so since me and Janine used to live in the same room.
2. Sleeping arrangements. Will I really take the role of sleeping in the livingroom on a fouton? Do I really want to give up to my room to someone I hardly know, I mean I love my nook-it's the best part..even if i'm only there once or twice a week. (Biggest issue)
3. I proabably won't be the roommate she wants. I'm not that girl who automatically likes her roommate,takes cool pictures together or hangs out at the apartment all the time. Because that seems to be what roommates do?
4. Accidentally forgeting it's tuesday night. For. uh. Toppless tuesday (?) Really people? Really? Apparently it's a tumblr thing? (Also a big issue) Feel free to explain if you understand this thing.
5. No longer feeling like my apartment is mine. Like it has been taken over by kids I don't want to be around. Crap.
Okay, I'll stop complaining how. I just thought I should updat on this situation. I need to stop looking at the negatives though and start looking at the positives. Like, she hasn't been added to the lease yet, so I can always kick her out Gina, if you decide to move up soon.
On to other apartment drama. You may have read my post about the people who live in my complex. There was a small Asian man, former jockey, named Kevin. Kevin passed away recently. I thought something was wrong when I woke up to someone continuously caughing. Well, turns out, Kevin was a hoarder (Yes, the exact kind you would see on TLC's Hoarders, but in a tiny apartment) and that man who was caughing was cleaning out his dusty apartment. It was BAD. And Karen my cat crazy neighbor was hoping there would be cats she could adopt-but there were none (probably just dead ones). They filled up a whole big dumpster trash thing, me and jeff were lucky enough to witness this big event- not the death of course.
Better than TV.

Am I right to assume that Topless Tuesday refers to girls walking around in their apartments topless and posting pictures of it on tumblr? If so, I too would like an explanation, with photos (not of you, but of said TT participants).
Also, I don't think you should give up your bedroom. It's your apartment, and if they don't dig the arrangement, they can just find a new place. There's a plethora of places of live in SF, so you shouldn't feel bad about it. 1 person in your apartment is already enough, 3 people is craaazzyyy! I can't even imagine 3 people sharing that kitchen...
Anyway, I hope everything is going well, and you are doing awesome things at your new jorb. Good luck on your finals (if you haven't already taken them)!!
(P.S. Upon checking tumblr for said "Topless Tuesday" photos, yes, it is exactly what you think it is..)

Thanks Joe!
I definitely plan on telling her the new arrangement soon. Since she hasn't even signed the lease yet, she can find elsewhere to live, like you said, there are plenty of other places.
Things at my new job are going really well, I work with cool people and everything is relaxed. But it's kind of odd coming to school when I should be off campus for summer. Oh well! How are things at your new job!?
Thanks for checking Tumblr for Topless Tuesday, now I don't have to. Who knows, maybe you saw my roommates.
