we've moved into the new place a little over 2 weeks ago. We have already seen some interesting shit and I survived my first night here alone. Nobody tried to break in and rape me! Victory!
Ha! JK...noteworthy things...threw away a ton of shit we did not need and watched other people sift through the dumpster for gems, nor could the stuff we threw away fit into our tiny 500 and something square feet apartment. Downstairs neighbor behaved like a drug addict but moved out a couple of days ago. New neighbors moved in. I saw one carrying a guitar. Sweet musicians, I hope they don't play their music too loud.
Also, Trevor's and my car broke down a week apart after moving in here. Like the universe was saying, hey you got a break on your rent so I'm gonna get money from you some other way! Funny isn't it...no not really...god damn heat...standing around in a parking lot waiting for the tow truck...but thank goodness for Emergency Roadside Service and not having to pay for said road truck.
I also bought Orange Cat a scratch pad (we smuggled her in, so we wouldn't have to pay the deposit, which we ended up spending on our cars, its a wash) and poured catnip on it. She proceeded to have a kitty orgasm; rolling around on the pad and scratching it...it was THE most adorable thing I've ever seen. I have a video of it but cannot figure out how to upload it. Damnit...as soon as I do, I will bring the delights of the Orange Cat to the world. My goal is to make her roll around on the scratch pad again! I don't know how but I will devise a plan.
Oh yes, one night Trevor and I decided to go buy an ice cream, actually thats not true I bribed Trevor to walk with me to go buy an ice cream. Anyways, we went to the creepy convenience store across the way. We walked in and there was a guy standing directly in front of us scratching his lottery ticket he just bought. There were also a few other ethnic looking gentlemen sitting in front of the door inside the store, just chilling as far as I could tell. We picked out our individual ice creams from the ice cream freezer section, then decided we should get a 40 to go with. On the door of the fridge containing the 40's, a sign was posted alerting customers that there was, "Vedio security cameras." I believe video was misspelled to reflect the accent of one of the men that owned the store. I'm not judging, I am observing. As we went to pay, I realized all the men that were hanging out were scratching lottery tickets. I'm assuming they would buy more tickets from the money they won with the original ticket in order to win it Big someday!
Moving was also a hellish ordeal and I do not wish to write anymore. Lets just say moving during a heatwave, I mean in hell, suckzzzzzz big hairy balls!!
Otherwise I'm happy and love love love living with my boy and his cat!

Holy Christmas!!
My mood has changed...the universe has answered...Trevor and I were approved. New apartment here we come! It is excellent!! $525 takes care of all utilities except for water and sewage, which is a flat rate of $14 plus taxes every month. Plus $63 to move in, WTF! Huge weight lifted off my back. I'm super excited. Tonight I will be merry!!

Apartment hunting!
SUCKZZZZZZ!! I believe I have found at least 2 different places that might accept Trevor and I.
One of the places I went to look at today was incredibly creepy. Old run down buildings, centered around dilapidated looking pool. Some creepy men were lurking in the parking lot. I saw the office sign, so I started walking to where it was pointing. I must have looked confused because a small, possibly Hispanic older man, deeply tanned with weathered looking skin in large eye glasses, shoulder length wavy pepper and salt hair with a baseball cap on asked me if I was looking for something. I also want to mention his slightly bulbous nose and goofy grin, kinda reminds me of Elmer Fudd now that I think bout it.
Anyways, I told him I was looking for the office but he said that there wasn't an office on site. The sign LIED! He said he could give me the number of someone to call, so I could check out an apartment. I followed to his car so he could rummage around for a pen to write with on his little orange notepad. He writes one number down but then decides he should include a second in case I couldn't reach anyone on the first number. I looked at the paper and his lowercase B looked like an uppercase D. So I pronounced the first name wrong. Not a problem. The second name was spelled equally awkwardly! I also had to have him pronounce it to me twice just to make sure I wouldn't mess it up, in case I actually called.
I took the scrap of paper and walked over to my car. Just as I was about to start it I see the older man walking over to my car. So I open the door. He proceeds to tell me his name and to tell the ladies I will probably (not) call, that he referred me so he could get $200 off his rent. I'm definitely (not) going to call.

Last Sunday
Okay I wish to write bout what happened last Sunday because it has now taken a humorous turn. I also don't want to jinx myself but I feel I must share this story.
Last Sunday I was driving to my brother's house in BFE(Queen Creek, almost Coolidge). I noticed a Sheriff's Deputy behind me and immediately placed my hands on 10 and 2 and made sure I was going the speed limit. I also realized that I could get pulled over because my plates are expired but I bought a 30 day permit. I just wasn't sure where to display it on my car, so I kept it with me in the cab. Well of course I got pulled over. I already knew why and figured the matter would be cleared up as soon as the officer saw my 30 day permit.
He walked up to my car and I gave him my info and my permit. He chastised me for not having it displayed but gave me instructions on where to put it on my car. I figured that would be that but then realized I didn't have my current insurance card in the little pocket. So he wrote me a citation for no proof of insurance. I've actually been through this before because I'm a doofus and forget to put my current insurance card in my car. No big deal I was thinking, I'll go home, find my card and take it to the court. Whatever, it's a done deal. But no, the dude (with his icky meth teeth) stands there and lectures me about not having my current card. He's just protecting the other drivers. Get off your high horse, man.
Yet as I was driving away, I thought I might have put my current card in my purse, to later put in my car the next time I was going to drive. So I check my purse and guess what...stupid card is there. Fuuuuuucccckkkk!!!! But really not a big deal. I'll just take care of the stupid mistake and it really doesn't matter in the long run.
Well this morning I get a call from that same officer. He forgot to give me my copy of the citation and wants me to meet him somewhere so he can give it to me. Seriously dude! I don't want to drive back out to Queen Creek unless I'm going to visit my brother's family. Yeah, I'm gonna drop everything to go get served. Thanks man but no. So Trevor advises me to call the court and see what the legality of the situation is. Basically the lady I talked to giggled and said I got lucky. The cop HAS to serve me. I don't have any legal responsibility to meet him anywhere. So the next time he calls, I'm getting his number and calling the sheriff's department and reporting what happened.
I personally am protecting myself. Dude made a mistake. Hopefully karma keeps working for me. Love ya cop!
