Akkk. Why is it that when you most need your body to be onside it decides to flip the bird at the ref? I spent pretty much all of yesterday throwing up - and not, for a change, by choice :) - just too fucking wound up to eat - or drink - or stand up for longer than 20 minutes at a time.
I'm going to go talk to the rental agent today, with a bit of luck I will be able to get the flat I looked at over the weekend. It's in a massive house that's been cut up into about 12 flats. Quite a funky studenty-type place. The main advantage of it would be that it's got a fireplace, which would mean I wouldn't have to get the electricity turned on. Power is just too expensive in Chch. Hopefully I will be able to arrange with Mel or possibly Deb and Keith (maybe) that I can use their phone line and shower a couple of times a week.
The most practical thing to do of course would be to get a room in an existing flat, but I have the disadvantage of a pretty severe form of social phobia and I just don't think I could handle living with a bunch of strangers.
Stupid life. :( in fact... stupid life >:( with angry eyebrows.
Things will be a lot easier once I have this sorted.
Posted by phreq at August 3, 2004 10:11 AM | TrackBackYou can do it! I knew ppl back in Otago who flatted with no electricity and phoneline. You have cell anyway so don't need phone. Be careful that no electricity doesn't lead to you not cooking warm food for yourself tho. How long do you have til you should be moving out?

I love you a lot :)
Did you get the email I sent last night? Also how is the flat moving process going?

Posted by: giffy at August 5, 2004 06:40 PMAkkk! Finally found a cyber cafe and yet cannot remember the web page to log in to update my blog... grr. Or anyone's email addresses! I will try to be more organised tomorrow and get back online then or Sunday.
Hmm well just in case ppl are reading the comments on my blog, just thought I would register the fact that I have moved (yay!) into a little one-bedroom place (so if you need a place to stay in Chch, drop me a line) - it is jsut a relief to have found somewhere. Running around Sallie Army buying blankets and towels and odds-n-ends of cutlery, fun fun. But good to have some space where I don't feel guilty for any sound made before 10.30am :)
As I say, will try to get online again soon. Just wanted to let people know I'm ok, even if a little cut off from the internet at present!
Love
Jen the Phreq
