The Status
I'm still technically homeless, even though I signed a lease on a studio apartment in Downtown Seattle and paid a deposit. That should change tonight. It's a long, stupid story that pretty well matches all the other long stupid stories regarding my living situation since I arrived here.
Anyway, the purpose of this post was to mention that I'm feelin' the love. Eleven days after my birthday, I have once more been reminded that it's still worth mentioning. My favorite 8-bit musician, Bud Melvin, wished me a happy belated birthday on myspace. Despite my growing displeasure with the 5-million-headed social networking beast, I still keep a strained grasp on my account and often forget why... until stuff like this happens.
Consequently, that reminded me that even though I'm a homeless freak with no direction in life, people really do like me. Lots of people, in a bunch of different states. I got phone calls and text messages from Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, California, Illinois, South Carolina, New York, and Kansas. And several of my new friends in and around Seattle each did a little something awesome to make this birthday stand out. Some super-sleuth even gave me this.
Gush, gush, gush. I think I'm going to melt.
