2 new roomies

I've finally got a full house. Unfortunately, not in the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson kind of way. All of the rooms in my house have been spoken for. I originally had wanted to have 2 girls move in so that the house has a better chance to remain clean, but I decided to go with a friend of a friend instead.

Both people moving in appear to be mature, and hopefully respectful to my property. I'm going month to month with them as I need to be sure that I will get along and not necessarily committed to them for a whole year. There is one guy and one girl moving in. The girl is moving in this week, while the guy, next month.

I could have had another girl move in, but there was some comfort issues. First, I was supposed to meet her one night to show her the house. After 30 minutes, I decided that I would leave the house and go to the gym because she hadn't shown up yet. Graham, my roommate, happend to be home when she finally showed up and showed her the house. Graham tried to engage in conversation with the girl and was unable to do so. She then emailed me to tell me that she would take the place. I wasn't comfortable with this so I asked my new roommates to accept the rooms quickly. I feel a lot better now.

With two more people moving in, this means another $1000 a month coming my way. This is huge in terms of speeding up the renovations. I'm very excited. I'll probably end up getting some new furniture first though. The seating arrangements in the living room are not quite where I want them to be.
