First, let me say that I DEFINITELY am still going on this trip. In fact, I already booked my one-way ticket to New York on March 1st. Searching for sublets for that period is next to impossible right now since it is so far away still, but I still check every day, and of course during these searches I have now discovered COUNTLESS sublets for Feb-June (my original NY plan). I laugh every time I see them because two weeks ago I would have jumped for joy over seeing it. Now I have a newer, infinitely more exciting plan.
I also have been searching for a second temp job so that I can make some extra cash, and that has yielded NOTHING. Finding temp work is a bitch y'all. I'm about 3 weeks away from dancing under a street light for money.. and I'm not talking bout some graceful pirouettes. But in all seriousness, I want to make some more money.
So, my solution: SELL SOME STUFF
Navigating ebay and craig's list to do this yields some damn funny results. My favorites so far include people trying to trade items for the stuff i'm selling, or people offering sex instead. No thanks.
Speaking of offering sex, if you have never checked out the "missed connections" part of Craig's List I sincerely encourage you to do so. It has kept me sane seeing that I'm not INSANE like the people who post on that site.
In other news, I have some tentative dates for my actual trip: March 1st-April 14th = New York; April 19th-Early May = San Francisco; May 10th-ish (maybe earlier) to May 26th = Hawaii. One flight is already booked, and I'm thinking train ride for the SF journey. Also, I've been trying to convince friends to take a week off from life and join me for part of the journey. Hopefully, they do because EVERYONE deserves a vacation. So fuckin' take one.
Love.
Good luck lover! Sell some of my stuff while you're at it? I'm thinking of moving to Vegas and I have a lot of crap.
