In the process of finding a new share house at the moment, I have come across this awesome place in Flemington/Kensington that I want really badly.
Its a six bedroom house, currently with 4 girls and 1 guy. Mostly they work full-ish time and study. Its right near the train station, two pubs and a bunch of fast food outlets and a tramline. The house is huge, two toilets (only one shower...). They have 2 cats and are super into sci-fi and british comedy. Oh and the other thing, its like 120 a week, supa sweet!
So I went for the interview/inspection last night. I almost didnt make it since the add didnt have the exact address, although it had a dot on the map (which turned out to be the local bottle-o) so I sent an email (only contact I had) 5 minutes before to say I needed the full address and maybe we could reschedule, and then they msged me with the full address like a minute later. So I made it, although I only had 2% left on my phone so lucky lucky.
We chatted about things for 1.25 hrs. I feel this is a fairly good sign. Although I think I interupted a bit much, but that is a habit of mine. They are currently watching Stargate SG1, and they have a Daniel Jackson doll because the girls think he is cute, sitting on a unicorn on their mantlepeice. Apparently he turns up in alot of strange places in photo's noone really remembers taking after party nights at their house. They also watch Being Human, Buffy, Doctor Who (and have had a Doctor Who themed piss up!), True Blood and a bunch of others I like. No Babylon 5 tho...
They had a wine cellar, alot of bottles of alcohol just sitting around (stones ginger wine on the mantlepeice next to Dan, ginger wine... takes me back to year 11). They have a local pub they all go to together for music and trivia, within "stumbling" distance according to them... So much nerd-cool. I want this house.
I am hoping the one and a quarter hours of chatting is a good indicator, I have been to other places where I thought we had hit it off well, never to hear from them again. But excitedly optimistic. Also the guy used to live/work in my hometown. So that was cool. Oh and they are all from the country, so none of this weird city-folk attitude that everyone else i know has...
