I pulled the trigger! I went with my gut and decided to go ahead and to lease a place in Austin for about 8 months (not sure why the lady didn't want a year lease but it didn't change anything so I'm fine with it). I move in November 17th!
I can FINALLY stop moving around this city from friend's floors to friends of friends' empty rooms. A place I can call my own...too bad it's a two-bedroom and I currently don't have a roommate. What I DO have, though, are some good prospects for people to move to Texas and live with me. They are:
ERIKA - Yep, she's still deciding what American city to move to now that she's a resident again (although now and then she says she wants to go back to London). Without going into a humongous story about what Erika and I are doing as far as our relationship is concerned - her chances of moving here are about 40% - 50% (in my mathematical opinion).
JAMES COOPER - That's right folks, the Coop might just give up his higher education job prospects in Florida and bring his talents to Texas. Considering that he was the first person I ever visited Austin with, it might be appropriate for him and I to room together. We'll see...guesses aside - James has a 35% - 45% chance of moving here.
Now what will I do with that 5% - 25% or so chance of having no one move here? I dunno. Call up some random friends from Kathleen High School and convince them that their dreams lie in that great state of Texas. hmmmmm...

How exciting! What will you do if BOTH of them decide to move out there? That would make rent REALLY cheap! And, it would be like a sitcome every day...refer back to Gabriel's comment from a few posts ago!

What you'll do if no one moves there is revel in the luxury of having a space all to yourself, with nothing in it but what you, yourself have chosen, with a lovely guest room for all of us to visit you. I myself will be personally responsible if you like to seeing that the guest room is as welcoming and luxurious as the most upscale hotel (just so I can visit). rb
I'm over the trigger pulling; need more what's going on or conversely, what's not going on; or more whatchathinkinbout. Seen any of Austin? What are Austinites all about in your opinion so far? Biggest gripe about Austin or Texas?
Well, you really have a 27.5% - 39% chance of having no roommate. Remember, you need to multiply the percentages not add. If you had two friends each with 50% chance of coming, you wouldn't have 0% chance of ending up alone, you'd have 25%.
