Double-wide (and no this isn't about me:) )

OK so again it is time for the continuing action of what happens when my coz comes to visit. As some of you might know, and the rest of you don't, my cousin Tony is moving down here from Texas to go to ITT in the fall. He's the computer person of the family. I'd ask him to help me with blogging and whatnot if he weren't so busy playing those games that are all like Starcraft but are cooler. He's playing some one called Lunar Project or someting. Basically the moon colony is, though it sounds kinda weird, trying to take over the world, as in earth. He just uses lasers and Boom! He wins. Now he burned me a copy of Starcraft with his overly mighty powerful computer, but I don't play it much. I just stick to the pretty basic stuff. PONG! ok maybe overly basic. Where was I?

Oh yeah so he came down with my aunt to look for a place for him and mybe her. We thought it'd be pretty cool if they could live at our complex, so we signed them up etc. But they didn't get it! ....

Ok branching out again. But I'm a gonna try and get back on track after I explain a couple things. Ok for youse peoples who have lived in the same house all their lives. When looking for a bad place, your credit history is VERY IMPORTANT. Even more thsn if you were a celebrity or something (We're sorry, Ms. Rider, but your credit history says you still owe $5900 to Saks, so we're rejecting you for this studio apt.) OK The reason I mention this is because I foiund out my aunt owed about 7K to an aprartment complex because she broke her lease agreement. BUT SHE HAD EVERY REASON TO! Here's the dilly bar (mmm... dairy queen): in about the 2nd month of their living at that complex, some no goods beat up my coz at the swimming pool; he had to go to the hosp and be admitted into ICU and eveything; and we got a phone call at like 2 in the morning so we to go ASAP. But fortuneately, he came out OK. Nothing broken, just he needed a little help walking aorund for a while. But so anyway my aunt got mad cuz she complained and complained and the complex didnt do anything. THEY STILL EXPECTED HER TO PAY FOR A MONTH WHERE HALF OF IT SHE DIDNT SPEND WORKING CUZ SHE WAS AT THE HOSPITAL! I think I can see their side (we cant make exceptions, etc) but that just wasnt cool, so my aunt packed up and moved to an old complex b4 the lease break came up on her report. NOT COOL!

... see, told you I'd come back. Anywho, they went to about 3 complexes total, all with different management groups, and they all rejected both. So we all felt pretty bummed. But isn't it weird how things balance themselves? That whole world equilibrium thingy. So a friend of my mom's happened to take up a part time job in real estate, so we called him up (his name's Fred) and asked him if he had anything. As a matter of fact, he did. So we went out way to the NW side (which was OK cuz thats where ITT is) and saw that he had a double wide (as in a trailer). It wasnt as bad as it looked, though. In fact, inside it was pretty darn nice. It had a HOT TUB! And it was affordable, too. 650 a month plus utilities. Well its a 3 bdroom cuz they have lots of stuff. But it was nice.

Except botho my aunt and my coz have had bad experiences with traiers (very long stories; they involve ostriches and cows, and I think this is getting long already), so I dont know if theyll take it or not; I''ll keep ya posted.
