I GOT THE JOB!!!
I got the job I interviewed for last Thursday! A genuine day job! With benefits! And they're actually paying me MORE than I was expecting! I start April 19th. I can hardly believe it.

Hey, if anybody’s looking for a place to live in central Orange County, I need a new roommate! In Costa Mesa, right off the 405 & 55, I’m currently splitting a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house with 1 roommate for $900 each ($900 deposit), and he’s moving out at the end of February.
