HFCS: effika’s blog

I went out for Pho tonight with David and Annie, but the group grew. I invited Charles, Charles invited Paul (Paul was supposed to be working on his stupid presentation and that was his excuse for not seeing me last night or today. He didn’t even seem to have worked much on it until after we got back. Later I was to find that Chuck was over all weekend anyway, so I guess the point was moot.), then I invited Garret since we were in the area, and David invited his cousin Jason. We went to this strange little place called Mr. Pho’s, by the Asian market up in the City. Very good soup, however. Very filling. Afterwards we all wandered around the market and made wisecracks about cultures that are different from ours. The market was an odd place, however. The TVs and VCRs they’d hung up above the aisles (think Wal-Mart) were hung precariously. Sometimes the VCRs were velcro’d to the bottom of the TVs, and more than once we saw an ancient desktop system and keyboard leaning against the TV. We were unsure of the usefulness of such an arrangment.

Paul, Charles, and Jason are moving into an appartment complex that only has 3-bedroom appartments. I’m left with a dilemma. Should I stay here, cramped in my 90 sq. feet of space, with rooomates I don’t get along with very well, or should I move back to my old appartment complex? I’d pay higher rent, I’d be responsible for every cent of my utilities (Why must broadband be ~50$?), I’d lose a washer and dryer, and I’m pretty sure that nobody would notice that I’m dead until my rent was past due. It is, however, closer to school and on the bus route (no 190$ parking pass), closer to Paul, Chuck, and Jason, and I wouldn’t have to deal with these two pinhead roommates. Of course, considering how well Paul ect have been treating me as of late, proximity to them might not be a weighty factor.

This week I hope to take care of the issue I talked of in the earlier post. It might make my decision to move a little easier, but odds are that my life is just going to get even more screwed up. I hate dealing with ambiguities, and I hope to clear one up this week. I’m just pretty certain I won’t like the result.
