No dramatics, I literally am.
I gave up my place January 1 when I embarked on my ‘Avoiding Winter 2012 Tour‘.
Guess I should get on finding a place to live, huh. I’m good the week I get back, but only that one week.
The requirements:
- right downtown
- no roommates
- parking a MUST (I’ve got some sweet Fords and Lincolns lined up for my return!)
-
and NEVER a basement apartment. They’re bad for your head
This was my view for 3 years.
Now that is good for the head.
I could see so much when I’d wake up, and it’d make me go, “work harder, Keri. Look at all the competition“.
That was in CityPlace. I had a really great place for a really great price, until my landlord sold it last fall. That’s when I gave away everything I own and became a gypsy.
It’s dismal out there, guys.
And the roommates are “charming” and “professional”. Uh-huh. $800/month sub-terranean room in you’ll share with 3 noisy pigs.
And then the bed bug factor: try to save a couple hundred a month, end up burning your belongings.
If you are ever looking to start a business, rent out furnished apartments for $1,200/month; they don’t exist.
Here’s a couple of my dream places.
Another old bank. As if it’s been empty for so long.
Imagine I popped out of there when you were walking by, hi hi! Nice day isn’t it!
Dream big I say.
Last fall I looked into ‘One King West‘. Beautiful. That’s going to be a setting in my movie one day.
It’s also an old bank. Wouldn’t be my first time living in an old bank.
Oddly, I had the appointment in the morning, and that evening went there to a Stella party.
(if ever you are invited to a Stella party, go; they’re always amazing)
Thought about Etobicoke aka “New Toronto”. That place is really booming. Predicted that in 2010, ha.
Wish I could live in my beloved Cherry Beach.
I’d also like to be a house sitter for rich people. I’d be so good at that. I’m probably cleaner than them, and I won’t use your appliances.
I’ll figure it out, I don’t mind the stress. But this isn’t really stress.
Stress is living in war-torn Rwanda, looking for a bug for dinner.
If you have any ideas or links, please advise. TTYL!
