The REAL Real World

This is the true story of five single girls in their twenties, living together....

And so it is set to begin. We're signing the lease agreement and putting down our security deposit tonight. And oh the shenanigans that are set to ensue.

On Saturday night I went to hang out with Caroline, one of the girls I'm moving in with. She's not just a roommate though. We've been friends for years. We pretty much grew up together, and played soccer our whole lives. She's truly one of the only people that really "gets" me. And it's mutual. Our sense of humor is one in the same and I can literally just look at her and know we are thinking the same thing. Sometimes, after hanging out with her, my stomach muscles ache from laughing so much. It's pretty awesome.

Where she lives now is only about 4 minutes from where we are moving. And where we are moving is HEAVEN. We found a seven bedroom house, with a finished basement and amazing deck in a beautiful neighborhood. As Caroline put it, "Who let US live here?! These people pay their taxes and everything!"

Since I've never lived in that particular part of Maryland, Caroline gave me the "grand tour." Along the way I saw all I need to be happy in this world. A gym, a tanning place, a nail salon, a Target, chinese restaurants, a dollar store and four bars. Can life get any better I ask you?

Yes. It can.

Because we are getting kittens. And I'm going to bite them.

And at the end of our driving tour:

C : "Oh my God, I forgot to show you the most important part."
T: "Oooh that sounds good, where are we going?"
C" The trailer park."
T: "Oh....ok...."
*we pull into the dark, slightly scary, trailer park*
C: "See? Look how cute it is!!"
T: "Um..."
C: "Lock your door!"
*blank stare at my friend*
C: "Well, it looked a lot cuter at Christmas"
