Moving Up Like George and Weezy!

So I finally got my feet planted here in New York, I moved into my own place this weekend. The best part is I stay in the city (Manhattan) my house is spectacularly clean (no more roaches, and I haven't seen mice or rats outside either), and I only pay $400 a month rent (utilities included), and I stay below 145th street!!!! So HA! to all the naysayers who bitch about not being able to find space in NYC for cheap that's clean. I met the super and he seems nice too. He told me to ask him for anything I need help with. You have no idea how much clearer my psyche is now that I know I can shower without the roaches all up in my business, I can cook without the roaches,dirt, and hair all around me. No more 5th floor walk up, as I live on the first floor. I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, and I don't have to wait until the roaches finish their turn. I bought a bed, curtains, sconces, rug, and some egyptian sheets. My pc is being shipped to me this week, so all I need now is a tv, pc desk, cable, and i'll be good to go.
My jobs are going well too. I like my night job, its so independent. I just come in do my thang, and bounce when i'm done. The only thing that makes me think about not going to work is the weather. It is cold and rainy here right now ,it looks like Noah is on his way back or something. But once I get some rubber boots, thermal cup for my green tea, and some gloves i'll be aiighht.
I'm back on this Friendster kick now. My ex-roommate here asked me if I was on one night, and I told him yeah. I went to look at my neglected page, and I felt this strong instinct to make an effort on the damn thing .
