Well I've been lookin' at a possible move to Baltimore as I mentioned last week. The move would, theoretically, coincide with my sister moving to the area to attend grad school. The possibility of the two of us living together has also been discussed with my fam. The "problem" is that she's attending school at some place called Westminister and she and my folks are looking at places in Reisterstown which is about halfway between Baltimore City and Westminister. I'd rather live in or much closer to the city than that.
The main reason me and my sis thought about moving in together is because we're both pretty tight and are a little fed up with dealing with roommates. It's different when your roommate is your own sibling (right Julie?) For instance, when I returned home last night I found that my current roommates had eaten most of a bag of chips I'd bought last week that I've been taking to lunch. Then when I got upstairs to the bathroom, I found my toothpaste sitting on the counter with the top off (I'm very very anal about my toothpaste and how it should be handled.)
If it had been Rachel who'd done this I would just say: "Hey, retard, you ate my chips!" but you can't really say that with roommates. Or, "Hey, fartwad, put the top back on the toothpaste!" and then we'd gone on about our day. The levels of what we'd put up with A) have already been established and B) are pretty relaxed 'cuz we're blood.
Here are the options as I see them:
1) Stay in DC, paying more for rent with more people I'll probably not like living with
2) Move to Reisterstown and be somewhat close to all the action in Baltimore but not quite in the middle of it
3) Move to Baltimore but with roommates I'll probably not like living with until...
4) ...I can save up money to find my own place.
I'm not totally opposed to #2 but it's just that it's Reisterstown. Hopefully, when whatever our current dispute with our landlord is settled maybe what I get back will go towards option 4.

also there are many beautiful women in my neighborhood you could woo.
also this would mean you, me, kara, abby, boson, aubrey, peter, abi, ben, kim, and blake all lived within 5 minutes of each other... and all of use but ben, blake, kim would be within a 5 minute walk.

julie [email] said at 7:58 PM 06-20-2006: Right! Do it. The other fun thing you can do on rainy days is sit around playing "remember that time when we were kids and you made mom cry" and "I bet you $100 you can't remember our phone number from when we lived in Maine" and stuff like that. Good times.
reggie [email] said at 3:27 AM 06-21-2006: Waitaminnit, you're obviously being sarcastic but I can't tell if you're saying to move in with the sis or what...
