Wow, so, ok... how do I even start? I guess I'll start with how I met Rani. It was almost a year ago. Wow... it was exactly a year ago in about two weeks. It was the weekend after my birthday of last year and my birthday is on October 7th, so yeah... But, that weekend I finally decided to check out Whoners' show on BlogTV, this website where people broadcast and whatever. Well, back then there were only like thirty some-odd people in there and it wasn't as crazy as it is now. But, yeah. I met Rani that week. At the beginning I wasn't really close with anyone but then I started to get closer to Rani, especially when around February/March of this year I got sick and I actually broadcasted on BlogTV with a PICC line coming out of my arm and she would be the only one who would put up with my stupidity. She even saw my mom live in her Christmas pajamas, lol. It was funny.
Since then, Rani and I have become closer and we realized that we are kind way too similar without it getting annoying for either of us. So, yeah...
Fast forward...
Well, the idea for Rani and I to become roommates came about two months ago or so when all of a sudden it came to me. I was like, "Wow. It'd be cool if Rani and I were roommates." So, I asked her. Of course I was like, "Well, she might say no." I thought she would be like one of our friends, Jojo, whom we both met at Whoners' show on BlogTV. Jojo doesn't like meeting people from online so I thought Rani'd be the same and say no. But, she agreed and I was like cool. And we didn't really talk about it a lot for about a month after that because, well... it was more like sort of a joke and we weren't really going to plan it all out or whatnot.
But then after I mentioned about becoming roommates, for some reason, Rani and I would talk on MSN like every single day. Seriously, we still do. We're such dorks that we talk on MSN everyday and even though we do that we write these long emails to each other. It's crazy. I mean, we could just tell each other whatever on MSN yet we decide to also write emails. We're nuts.
So, yeah... we had been writing each other on MSN like everyday and we even talked on Skype frequently. And then it happened! One night, I think it was Rani who mentioned it, she said something like... "So, is this thing about moving in together really going to happen?" Wow, I remember that conversation. Our friend Adrian was in it; we met him at Whoners' show on BlogTV, too. Well, I was like sure. I mean, we had somewhat been talking about moving in together more seriously before that conversation and we even had it down to NY, Boston, Atlanta and Miami. I mentioned Boston, Atlanta and Miami and Rani had mentioned NY. So, I was like, "Yeah, sure." So, I told her that we would look for apartments just to see the prices and whatnot. So, we started with NY. I am so happy that we started with NY because I absolutely fell in love with one of the apartments that I found. When Rani saw it, we knew that that was the place where we want to live in when we get to NY.
But, in order to figure out exactly where in NY to start looking for apartments... well, we asked Adrian for where we could find cheap but good places to live. So, that's when we decided on the Bronx when we saw like THE cutest apartments ever. So, then Adrian left the conversation and we sort of planned everything like cost of living and how much we would need to be paid an hour on a 40 hour week and whatnot. That night we decided that we would do the move as soon as August of 2010.
But then the next day, after I had time to think about it, I told Rani that I really wanted to finish at least my Associates so that when I moved to NY I could be getting paid better money, whatever. So, then we started talking about schools in NY and if I was going to finish college and whatnot. And we decided that I would eventually go to NYU, provided I get accepted, because that's the only school that has my major (Spanish Literature).
So, it's settled. Rani and I are moving to NY and we decided it would be in approximately a year and a half or something like that. Right now I am in North Carolina and I will be here until sometime in December. I am currently in the process of moving to Connecticut for that year and a half and sometime this January Rani is going to visit me up there. When she comes to visit we are going to NY, where our friend Bruce (Whoners) will show us around the city and we'll hang out with him or whatnot. It's going to be so much fun.
Either way, all this has been decided. We are so excited. I know Rani's really excited and as for me, well, I'm ecstatic. We have decided that we need jobs if she is going to be able to come visit me in Connecticut in January, so... yeah. She already had an interview and she is currently waiting for them to call her back. I applied to Blockbuster last Tuesday and well, a job is a job. I will call them tomorrow to see about the status of the application.
That is all for now. Wow, that was a lot. Ohh, well.
Anyways, until next time... take care.
