decision made.... :S

The countdown is ticking and I have less than 30 survey replies to enter into the database—that is, for this batch. Once I come back from holiday, I so have to print out about 300 pages worth of data. Holy crapoly! I really hope the IT guy doesn’t say anything to me. I’m really glad all this is getting done as quickly as possible….especially considering that I’m still procrastinating heavily. :/

On the plus side, I’ve made my final decision. I’m going back to New York. It will only be temporary though. I’m mostly going back to recuperate some capital and set up the apartment. I really feel that I don’t have a real place to call home, so I’m going to make the apartment in NY home. Yes, I know there are tons of apartments but not all are under my name. Firstly, finding a guarantor or at least someone who can put up a guarantor is tough. Secondly, although finding someone who can put up a guarantor isn’t impossible, the apartment never feels like my own or home. So by doing this I’m hoping I’ll have a place to look back at and call home. Once I set it up to be somewhat presentable, I’m definitely going to sublet it out. ….. OK….so the real, real reason I want to save that apartment is that it is near to my dream apartment, which I already have furnished. I have this crazy notion that the closer I am to where I eventually want to end up, the more attainable it seems.

So you want to hear about my dream apartment? Heck yeah you do.

The basic details:
• It’s a condo located in NoHo.
• 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms
• I believe the total square footage is about 3,000
• The exterior of the building looks like an art project.
Furnishings:
• Of course, I need to finally purchase my Maly bed.
• There is this phenomenal wingback chair which I just utterly adore.
• The color scheme of the kitchen is black and red.
• One of the rooms is going to be my office, which has silver and white for a color scheme.
• The third room is going to be a guest room. It is going to be by far the most normal looking room ever.
• The whole apartment is going to scream art project. 

I really want this apartment. So much so that I printed the floor plan, furnished the entire apartment (down to the dinnerware), picked out the clothes I’d be wearing in the apartment, and the three dogs I’d have. Oh yeah and did I mention that the furniture is printed out and cut out to resemble an actual dollhouse? I’m totally serious about my place. Now if the price tag will just drop dramatically so I can afford it or I can make millions or marry billions to afford it.
