fourth time's the charm?

hi friends and happy new year to all of you! 2009 has just begun and i can already tell it's going to be a fabulous year. before i begin i just wanted to give a big shout out to juston and his big bday today! fun fact of the day, if you went to uw madison and ever got "juston stix" at ed's express they were named after him! he cooked them up (literally, mmm) because of his pure hatred for anything tomatoey like pizza sauce and tada you have bread stix with cheese and a new name! he also requested i update the blog which has been severely delayed yet again. however, a new year definitely means another new roommate in the city and another new post to discuss all the juicy dets! so, the old roomie didn't last this time because frankly the city ate her alive and chewed her up for breakfast. i'm not gonna lie this is one very busy and high stress city not well suited for lazy, spoiled or lost individuals. if you think you are going to "find yourself" in this city...well, good luck. the other night i was walking home and read this grafitti sign that stated, "the stress of the city will make you lose sight of your dreams...hang in there." i seriously couldn't have said it better myself. so, needless to say it's been rather interesting finding another roomie in the midst of the holiday season. i guess you could say it was stressful enough to make me briefly lose sight of my future perfect job, mba and hot boyfriend but after relentlessly posting our apartment on every housing website known to man or woman we gots one! like every typical city experience i spoke to her on the phone a few times and she moved in over the holidays while no one was home. her love for the hills was all i needed to confirm her as our latest and hopefully last roommate. surpisingly, andi is what you call not just smart but brilliant. i mean, i know we all think we're pretty darn brilliant but i can guarantee nobody reading this blog skipped high school and went straight to college. if you have, feel free to post it in the comments section with a pic of you receiving your college diploma with braces and coke bottle glasses included. anything photo shopped will be immediately disqualified. i guess even more shocking is she's completely socially comfortable and ridic mature for a 20 year old. she's got an internship for the next 6mos. so let's hope she's a keeper. i'm really sick of writing blog posts on new roommates. i mean, they literally consume 24% of my material on shawtyindacity and that just ain't right! okay, this little one needs to hit the hay but miss you all and i'll update again soon! peace out!
