On Sunday, I finally came home to a pool table. My roommate and I had been looking for a cheap used one for a while, and this weekend we got lucky. 
I went with Mom and Juan to go pick it up. We had to drive all the way to Safety Harbor to get it… which meant I had to drive to St. Pete first and meet up with them, then Mom drove to the guys house. The guy was pretty cool, he was a police academy instructor and pretty straight-up about everything. He even delivered the table for gas.
Searching craig’s list, a found an 8′x4′ table. It’s not slate, but it’s in good shape, and is perfect for what we wanted. It’s a great stress reliever, and it’s just fun. I always end up spending too much going to play at a bar or pool hall, so it’s really lowering my expenses. Plus, it makes my house seem really awesome!
If you like to play, let me know. We’ll set it up sometime!
I’ve been wanting a pet since before I went to Japan last year. I was orriginally planning to get a dog, but my roommate introduced the idea of getting a cat! And, I’m glad I did because she’s easier to take care of than a dog would be, and she cleans herself, so I don’t have to worry about it. 
So, here’s Kira. I chose her name because of the main character in We the Living. There’s no real connection other than I liked the book and I liked the character.
Hey Everyone!
So I’ve been living in Tampa since I got back to the states really, and thats had it’s ups and downs.
When I first got here, I moved into ON50 apartments. My Mom had checked it out ahead of time, and it looked pretty nice. But, I guess they were good at selling people, because once I got in, it was nothing along the lines of what I expected.
The room itself was nice; I lived on the top floor and had easy access to the living room and kitchen. But, my roommates were essentailly a terrible match. I’m not cool with leaving food out, or someone leaving garbage infront of the entry way that I used, and that set us up for all sorts of disagreements. Then, there was the dumpster infront of the building enterance! That is most definitely not what I want to walk through on my way to anywhere. Finally, there was the “game room,” that was essentially never available. You couldn’t use it except when the office unlocked it by request, during business hours. Of course, I had classes during business hours.
So, I decided to move somewhere else, with someone I knew ahead of time. This was a great decision! I am actually closer to my classes than I was before, and I have a lot more space. Not to mention I get along with my roommate! I’m even allowed to have a pet here! Which is something I’ve wanted for a very long time!
I also have a really awesome bike that I use to get around everywhere local. I really like riding my bike places, because not only is it GREEN, but it’s a little bit of exercise that I just wouldn’t get if I drove around as much.
