5 03 pm pdt [ universal shifts ]

Snap. Wink. The universe shifts a little -- everything is tilted.

We were denied the apartment. My flawless credit is apparently useless to combat Matthew's awful credit. He'd be momentarily fuming mad if he knew I told you he had bad credit. It takes seven years to get old stuff off your credit report. He's going to have bad credit when we want to buy a house. It's going to suck.

So, we were denied the apartment, which really isn't such a big deal to me. Neither of us loved the place, but we did love the price tag and the potential new five minute commute for Matthew.

Tilt.

I'm going in for a job interview tomorrow to be a summer camp counsellor. It's low pay, as one would expect, and Matthew says I shouldn'tsell myself short. I am loathe to get a day job. But I need to if I am going to start contributing to the rent.

I feel as though I am always waiting for the future.
