life changes, vol. V: the final chapter
well, i did it: my days of being homeless are now behind me. i'm currently sitting on an inflatable mattress in my new apartment in SF. while i looked at a few places the last time i was here in... april, this was the first place i looked at since arriving for good. it's not the ideal place i was imagining, but there are some nice things about it (right next to golden gate park (and its track), hardwood floors, and it's on some 24-hour (electric) bus routes. also, there are three bicycle shops along the short walk from here to the nearest muni stop.
i'm sure it'll feel like home in no time once my stuff gets here.
i'm still a little unsure of what to make of my time in boston. the woman who was "helping" me when i was looking at towels and pillows and stuff asked where i was moving from, and then said something about being a bostonian. i certainly never felt like one; how long does it take? am i going to feel like a san franciscan? i don't really see that happening; when i walk around i'm constantly imagining some terrible earthquake, and i imagine that to be a san franciscan that sort of thing shouldn't faze you.
anyway, today has been a long day so i am going to sleep.
