e: I accept your offer of conditional friendship with unconditional enthusiasm.
Stacer: yep, that's me. We met at LTUE after one of Brandon's panels.
Anyway, I'm really liking Boston. I've gone on a trolley tour and wandered around taking photos. The Common is fun, and I like how easy it is to get around on foot. If only I had some money, I know I'd love the shopping out here! As for money, I did get a partial tuition scholarship, so that's certainly a great help.
By the way, I was sort of disappointed when I found out you moved all the way to Seattle! I'd been thinking we'd get together once I got out here. But I'm glad you found a job (and finally got all your stuff delivered by those movers....)
To answer your other question, I'm in LP1. Actually, the way I found a place to live was through Bishop Lazenby. He directed me to the ward's housing website. Immensely helpful. So my roomie, Rozanna, and I go to church together.
By the way, I met a friend of yours. Evan Thacker. Cool fellow. I'm the ward newsletter editor (yippie!), and so I met with him in order to get details about my calling.
I actually live in Quincy--barely 1/2 block from the beach. Great view of the city skyline. Very pretty at night. Rozanna and I share the 2nd level of this house. Extremely spacious. Big kitchen, a washer and dryer (no coins!), large living and dining rooms. Of course, her two little weiner dogs make the place seem really small sometimes. They're cute but not what you'd call well-trained.
Once they got into my zipped up backpack to get at this granola bar wrapper and, in the process, decided that my ipod earbuds looked tasty. Grrrr! The earbuds were the expensive kind with the silicone earpieces. I fully expected Rozanna to step up and pay to replace them. Nope.
"I wasn't here to supervise them," she protested. Hmmph. So what, they're still her dogs, right? Oh, well. Still, we get along pretty well. I'm glad to be out here. Still adjusting to things but I know this is where I want to be.
Thanks for saying "hi."
