On moving.

Just had a talk with Russell. He's going to be working on repairing the room I'm staying with when he goes on leave in the first days of February. It'll be for a few weeks, and the entire rooms is getting pulled apart and redone. So, by then, I'm going to have to find a new place.

That's enough time, I think, to prepare. I'll have my car in three weeks, tops. Then I just go crazy looking for work. And find a place. And move out. Though I technically *can* live on Centrelink. If the worst happens, I'll just be moving out on the dole and going sloooooooowwwwwly until I get back on my feet.

Aaaaaaand the important thing is that now I remember why I want to get a car BEFORE I move out - because it's fucking hard to buy a car when you're paying rent. If I have my wheels before then, I won't have to worry about skimping out before then.

Looks like my first new place is going to be shared. Sigh. Well, at least I know a couple of people I could trust to not be complete losers. There's Gavin, who's a decent bloke (and I think is actually into me a little bit), and Ali, who is intense to live with but I know she'll respect me. I'll hit them up tonight.

A month and a half is, I guess, not THAT much warning. But hell, I'll make it work. Anyways, that's what's happened. Got warning, got time, will sort this out.

Update on most recent entry.

So I got in contact with Gavin, a friend from Brisbane, who has had an offer of a room extended for a little while now, for when he moves to Toowoomba in a week's time.

When he comes up, I'll go around to his place and crash on the couch for a few nights, see what's what, and if it all works, possibly move in. The location is really good, the guy's pretty decent, and the rent would be manageable, especially once I got a job. And this gives me enough time to finish saving for a car, buy said car, AND save up a bit of bond.

*happy sigh* Could it be that things are finally looking up for me? From here, it all looks like it's just a matter of time, now... :3
