Ellie: My New Housemate.


I recently moved in with Lee (who is the co-author of this post), her husband David, and Ellie, who is 15 months old. While Ellie is extremely cute, she is not the best housemate one could ask for.

Some positives and negatives of living with Ellie:
  • She throws her food on the floor and expects you to clean it up.
  • Watches the WORST shows on TV and cries when you change the channel.
  • She goes to bed early but sometimes wakes you up in the middle of the night.
  • Drinks all of the milk and never replaces it.
  • Respects my privacy but poops her pants in front of me.
  • Smiles when I come home but never asks me how my day was.
  • Likes my peanut butter cookies but never thanks me for making them.
  • Doesn't borrow my clothes or hog the phone line but keeps trying to eat my iphone.
Luckily, the positives score way higher points.

Correction

I spent my second to last night in the dorms having drinks with Sean, Mike, his bf Leon, and another fine art dorm friend, Rubin. It was fitting to be with my Hoxton crew and Mike was my friend friend in London! Anyway, back to the correction: Mike informed me that all the reasons I was moving out of the halls were actually not entirely true. Well, they were true when I was informed but the management changed their tune. Anyway, I'm still glad I'm out of there, but my reason is now: I'm almost 29 and over residence halls. Now begins my slight homelessness/adventure in other people's homes. It was a long week moving but I am all done and mostly settled in at Rebecka and Spence's. Goodbye Hoxton, hello Newington Green.

My first order of business in my new neighborhood is checking out a little cafe around the corner called Tina, We Salute You. I am already familiar with the local pub, The Nobody Inn, so don't worry. My second order of business is to make use of Rebecka's bike. Mom, she also has a helmet that I will wear, I promise. I just want to get around more easily, not get myself injured!
