Back at the beginning of June I moved out of my buddy's house in suburbia where I'd been renting a room for almost 3 years, to a sweet ass apartment downtown with my girlfriend.

Less than 2 months later she broke up with me. She said she didn't care which of us kept the place, so I elected to move out. It's a sweet apartment in a great location with free heat (huge plus in Wisconsin winters). But it's only big enough for 2 people who are a couple and up in each other's personal space, and my friends all live out in suburbia, not downtown. Without her, it didn't really make sense for me to stay.

Aside from all the shit to do with the breakup, this is getting damned expensive. In the course of 2 months I've gone from cheap-ass rent to somewhat steep rent made reasonable by free heat, to getting slightly gouged for a "luxury" apartment in suburbia where they allow cats.

I'm moving tomorrow. This was all going along semi-amicably until tonight when she discovered the potential prospects I've been talking to since getting dumped. Yay!!!
