Homeless
As of Friday March 3rd I am homeless. My lease is up and I can not get an extension. I'm starting to sincerely panic. I'll take off today to move my stuff into a storage space but I doubt they will let me sleep there. Panic.
I've procastinated some and I also thought I'd have a few more weeks at my current place. I'll be able to crash with Stacey this weekend but that will not work over the course of the couple of weeks it will take to find a new place. Panic.
I am really excited to get out of that place, which I really don't like, and to save a little cash for a downpayment would be nice. Panic.
Can I live like a hermit crab at all my friends places in the area. A weekend here, a week there, a fortnight elsewhere.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Houseguests, like fish, spoil after three days."
To be honest this is a product of taking my new job on shorter notice than I'd like and taking the first apartment that was liveable without looking more. I should have been pickier a year a ago and this wouldn't be happening.
Ok the blog has dulled my panic. And as this is a desperate plea for aide, please post encourageing things. And if I've ever been your roommate please tell a story about how great I am to live with (in other words lie).

I think you should try the "sleep a night here, sleep a night there" plan and report back on the blog. I could be research project into the lifestyles and behaviors of your friends.
Part of the rules of this plan would be that you stay until the host family says, "Trey, I'm afraid I have to ask to to leave." At that point, you ask them why, they tell you, and then you have a day to secure a new house to crash.
Add a camera crew and you have the makings of a briliant Reality Show.
I think this idea has legs.
P.S. I want a producing credit.
Understatement of the week:
"I've procrastinated some..." 3 days before eviciction.

Just like Jesus. How pious of you.
Oh, yeah...you can stay at our place too if you'd like. It's only 45 minutes by jet.
I can speak for Mrs Hey Man when I say you are welcome at our house. That would be a supreme pleasure.
didnt you make one of your old roomates cry and move out?
worm - I don't think reality TV is ready for that. Plus I'm not ready to burn that many bridges.
Ryan - This does not classify as "supportive"
Jen - Hmm... video games and free cooking plus 1.5 hours two and from... comes out pretty even!
Ryan - Can I borrow your jet?
Hey Man - You can probably count on a little couch time in the next few weeks. Thanks a lot!
Josh - Your wrong josh, I made more than "one" do that.
Did you get one of your roommates evicted? But seeing as he was stalking me...I wasn't too upset about it....:)
Since you won't be staying at my plac, I guess you can use me as a reference.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Trey Laminack is a fine roomate. I have been Trey's roomate during college and I can honestly say that it was the finest roomate expericene that I have ever had, save for my marriage.
I must say that his roomate need are high. Such as having to read a bedtime story to him each night, inventing character voices for the event. If you mispronounce a word, hewill demand that you start over, so I suggest pre-reading the stories beforehand. Also, Trey likes to have his food prechewed. This was difficult for me to understand at first, but I now realize that Trey is an eccetric genius.
But all of these duties are a mere trifle when compared to the wonders of what he can offer a roomate relationship. Trey is an excellent helper when it comes time to move in and out of the house becasue of his telekenetic powers. He can also melt glass with his heat vision. Trey is also an excellent cook and play is music at a whisper volume.
Just do not cross him or your family's pets may end up disappearing (including extended family, he has the resources to find them).
Good luck to you and your roomate search,
James
come home boy - the bird house room is waiting; however, very little home cooking going on.

The older child just happens to be in the process of emptying out a room at our house. And you don't count as "company," so no smell after 3 days. Just show up with your stuff; I'll give you a key.
Trey is BY FAR the absolute GREATEST room mate ever. He leaves you alone when you want quiet but always wants to go out if you do . . . and he'll come up with plans if you're too jumbled or apathetic.
By the way, Trey only made the other room mate cry . . . I forced him to move out (Trey and Matt actually said that they could have lasted another semester). Trey read all of the bed time stories: I recall a section out of Bill Bryson that held the apartment alternately in stitches and rapt attention.
You are welcome here but the week in the car would probably cost more than a motel. On the up side, I'm a very good cook now that I have quality ingredients and I can cook for almost any dietary prefrence.
So, I just accidently started my own blog. I guess I should read things more carefully but, once I started the process, it seemed ashame to just quit.
Oh, and I almost never lie . . . except to myself . . . but maybe that is just a lie I tell myself.
I'm not sure if its a blessing or curse for it to be 90 degrees in March when I decide to move my stuff.
Thanks for the Endorsements James and Ty.
Alyson - hay! Cool to have you link now! Thanks for the offer but I'm trying to get out of the rent game and into the mooch game. (And eventually ownership of something.)
Dearest Trey,
It sounds like you are doing well! For once I am glad we don't live near each other, or else we might be put upon. I don't know how I found this page but it's sooooooooo cooooool !!!! Just like you. I guess Stacey won't mind one more mouth to feed! Check in with us once in a while.
Love
Lisa
