ode to chiu-chiu-song

so i have found a new place for heeday and i to live. i cannot tell you how weird that is, the idea of living with a boy that is not my brothers. i'm pretty sure heeday doesn't have cute clothes and shoes that i can borrow, nor makeup when i can't find the right color. i'm pretty sure he doesn't have a 2-inch barrel for a curling iron or nail polish remover. i'm pretty sure he's not going to be able to help dress me appropriately, in style and in color. i'm also pretty sure that he's not going to have any emergency feminine products when i run out, or have conditioner that i can borrow either. ooh, or lotion. he doesn't have any of that. i'm also pretty sure that he is dirtier than jenie and karen ... oh man. i'm in for it.

married women of the world -- log your man complaints here. i already know about falling into the toilet in the middle of the night when he leaves the seat up.

i'm really going to miss living with k and j. i've lived longer with k than any other person, barring my family. it took us a while to break in living together, and now that i'm moving out, i find myself in a fit of sniffles every now again, at the end of a really good era for me. karen was there, listening to me cry hysterically through that awful first year of teaching. we've made three years? four years? worth of mass christmas present production. we have survived two moves together. and honestly, how many roommates are forgiving enough to keep living with you, even when you punch them in the face the first week you live together? jenie -- well, she moved in quietly. first, it was a few nights on the couch. and then it was quarts of maryanne's ice cream that mysteriously went missing. (ahahaha, remember the time we tried to trick jenie into eating the spumoni?) and now, i'm raiding her closet (coats and otherwise) because she is way hipper than me on a regular basis, hoping that she'll make me chocolate chip honey wheat pancakes.

man, it is going to be hard to move. so in order to ease the parting blow, i found us a place two blocks from where i live now. all those nights that heeday has class, i will be enjoying karen's new television and bothering my soon-to-be former roommates. k also says that if i still cook for them, then i can do our laundry at their place for free. which is actually a better deal than what i'm getting now, since i cook for them AND i pay for laundry. ahahahaha.

and in true olivia fashion, i give you my top five list as to why karen and jenie are going to miss me:

5. my random profanity
4. my running off with their shoes and coats
3. my cleaning the house (only because ltg is at our place)
2. my keeping the house well-supplied with groceries
1. my cooking, because they will be reduced to eating like men

man. i may have to go over and fix them food in bulk and freeze it for them.

lovely ladies -- it's been wonderful. and it's definitely hard to say goodbye. so i'm not. i'm just going to move down the road, and insist that you come stay with me in my television free, furniture free new life.
