some people live in a house on a hill, and wish they were someplace else.

i got a job at h&m!!!!!

and

i found this adorable studio apartment 

in a used-to-be-a-movie-theater (in the 1920's) apartment building

in a town called fruitvale (the irony hasn't escaped me)

in the laurel district (as if fruitvale was gay enough)

this means that i won't get to live with tessa,

but

i love it obscene amounts.

it's a walk-through closet, it's kinda fantastic.

that's the front door and the bathroom just through there.

my kitchen has different cabinets, they're above and below.

the kitchen in the opposite direction.

the fantastic gold mailboxes in the lobby, there's a mini fountain there too now.

hooray hooray i'm you're silver lining.

we wanted to give you a tour of our fantabulous 

victorian-on-the-inside apartment;

view it up bitches!

but now i'm gold.

days will turn into to might night will turn into days, week, season, years.

i'm beyond excited,

so i didn't want to say anything until we knew more but me and tessa went to an open house on saturday

well we went to three, 

the only one worth mentioning was this adorable victorian-on-the-inside house

the whole upper level would belong to us and its' fantastic,

i'd stay in the parlor area with the walk-in closet 

something that has occupied my dreams for years

and there would still be two other bedroom left for tessa to use

since the parlor areas is quite larger than either of the other two rooms.

so this place is fantastic and we found out today that we're going to live there!

we go to sign the lease in just a bit and i'm more excited than i even thought possible.

suck on that california state university east bay dorms!
