I just confirmed via phone with my new flatmate that I am moving into his place by February 1st! The Edwardian flat I'm moving into is off Balboa Street in Central Richmond, not far from Golden Gate Park. My roommate was overjoyed when I said I'm moving in, I gather he's had a difficult time finding a suitable housemate. I can tell just from our initial conversation/interview that we'll get along just fine. He likes to cook and have people over for dinner, which is something I've been looking forward to forever (the house I currently live in doesn't have a working oven!) My room has hardwood floors, there's a nice semi-fenced backyard patio area, and adopting a cat is an option as long as I am fully responsible for its welfare. I'll be starting from scratch - no mattress yet even! - but I think it's the next step in my Bay Area adventure. It can't be less comfortable than the neighborhood I live in right now, that's for sure. Just now walking home from a taqueria in Fruitvale, in broad daylight, people driving by yelled some shit and threw a container that landed right in front of me. Startling and totally out of nowhere.
Yes, thank you, assholes, I know, and I'm leaving as soon as possible, BUH-LIEVE ME!
