The search will officially end with the stroke of a pen...by a little hen...who likes to fend...off dirty men

We're going over to sign the lease tonight. Are you nervous for me? Go ahead, be nervous for me. Because I'm a little nervous myself.
Mostly I haven't thought about it since we put the deposit down last week. Mostly I haven't been nervous or worried or skeptical. But last night we wrote out a list of questions we want to ask before we scribble our names anywhere. And there's a lot of questions.
Suddenly I realized that we're actually going to sign a lease on an apartment before I even start my job! An apartment that we really don't even know that much about. I mean what if something happens? What if the job falls through at the last minute? What if we can't get out of the lease? What if we find rodents in our closet after we've moved in? What if the apartment is haunted? What if we can't afford it? What if...
You know what? Fuck it. Hand me the pen.

You'll be fine. Ask the questions. Read the lease thoroughly before you sign anything. Make sure you understand what the lease is saying if you can't decipher the legal-ese. Just make sure you know what is expected of both parties to make sure you don't mess up somewhere. Your job won't fall through. Nothing will happen. You can always get out of a lease, and most of the time they won't be a dick about it if you have an actual excuse. There won't be rodents. Ghosts aren't real. Hopefully you can afford it, otherwise you shouldn't have set your price range that high. Anything else hun?
I read your guest blog on Brad's page. It only confirmed my belief that, yes, Shannon, you are an outstanding, interesting, captivating, well written girl. Everything you write always captivates my attention. Then, moments after this thought enters my mind, I read the title to this post. Hmmm... :) Just teasin'.
Anyway, Congrats on the apartment.
Amen to the "Fuck It". :p That seems to be the theme of my life. Things have a way of working themselves out a certain way whether you try to control it or not. (Although I do have to agree with Jason and at least be cautious!)
Well, it's officially "fucked".
Here we go, babe!
