New Roommate

One of the girls I originally interviewed called me yesterday on my lunch break. She is a Christian girl, and had to be out of her place by August 1. I really liked her, but she is in complete transition right now-- no job, no car, no degree. She's 24. But I need a roommate, and she needs a room, and she says she'll pay the rent. Even though it seems risky to me, I couldn't say "no" cause it sounded like she needed a break and a chance. A little bit of grace. I've been on the down-and-out side, and its not fun, and I understand how hard it is to make it in San Diego. Hopefully I will not regret this decision.

Not moving

So both of my housing options just fell through, and I'm feeling just a bit overwhelmed already knowing that its going to take time and energy to find a roommate. I'm not moving out. I plan to stay at my place. If I find a roommate I really like, then I might consider moving, but I'm finding that good roommates are in high demand and short supply. I'm about to post an ad on Craig's list and see what weirdos I get.

In other news, I was surprised a few days ago by a visit from a friend of my brother's who is currently competing for the kicker position for the Dallas Cowboys. He was down in San Diego visiting family, and came to Point Loma to run on our beautiful track. I told him if he makes it onto the team I would go to the Chargers/Cowboys game and root for Dallas. :) Then I told him he owes me an autograph if he makes it.

I also got to work with my friend Michael on a song I wrote for the kiddies who will be attending VBS in 2 weeks. Its a call and response song about the Prodigal Son. The chorus (the only part of the song that is NOT call and response) is this:

I will always love you
No matter what you do
Whenever you come home again
I'll be here waiting for you

Its very catchy. I think it was stuck in Michael's head last night. Ha ha!!! I'm so evil!!! Mwa ha ha ha...

Miscellaneous

I went and saw a fiddle concert on Monday night. So fun. I think I want to learn. These were some of the best musicians in the world.

Still don't know what's up with housing... but I should know if I'm staying or going by the end of this evening. Hopefully.

I'm trying to get ready for VBS again. I have a couple new songs, but they need some work. I'm not good enough on the guitar to be able to put together the best possible combination of chords for the lyrics I've written.

They took the packing out of my wisdom tooth empty socket, and so I'm feeling it a little more today. I still can't really eat hard and crunchy things. It hurts my teeth.

Moving?

What a difficult decision. My roommate just moved out, and so I either need to move, or find a roommate. All the girls I have interviewed so far are unemployed. I have one opportunity to move out, and found out that the girls who currently live in this place might be moving after 10 months. But it sounds fun. I'd have to give up my furniture. But I could move my piano down.

Aaarrrgghhh!!! I don't want to think about it anymore. But the house is looking like my best option because the girls are both relatively stable. Its in a great location.

But only for 10 months? Can't I find something more stable than that?
