O hai! I Can Has My Own Drawer?

Life has been pretty hectic lately. I found a new job where I am actually putting my college degree to good use. Hooray! However, the job is about 40 miles south, which means getting my ass up at 5:45am and seething at asshat drivers for an hour. Boo! It totally sucks because I am NOT a morning person, and I quit smoking which had been my saving grace on long drives for quite a few years. So between sleeping, working and driving, I don't have much time or much motivation to do much else.

I've been kinda sorta unrealistically looking for apartments and/or roommates on Craigslist. I say that because I can't really afford to move out yet, but the drive and the gas prices are already killing me, so I am hoping for a miracle in the form of wicked cheap rent. That said, I am also hoping that if I drop enough hints, Boo will take some pity on me and offer to let me stay at his house a few nights a week. However, I know that is completely pushing it. He did suggest I stay at his house last night so I didn't have to drive as far this morning. And I did. We joked about how we were having a sleepover on a school night. Cute, right? Still, neither of us are completely against the idea of me doing some cleaning and cooking (he's basically helpless in those areas) in exchange for a few nights of domestic bliss (and some consistent nookie!). He's just a little wary of the "I Want My Own Drawer" scenario, which I completely understand. Lover or not, I don't like my space invaded either. I guess time will tell...hopefully sooner rather than later!
