cohabitation

By anders pearson 25 Mar 2003

somehow, without any major mishaps, lani and i made it from DC to manhattan with a truck full of her belongings this weekend and now she lives with me.

some of the major accomplishments:

• didn't hit any pedestrians, vehicles or stationary objects substantial enough to leave a scratch or dent on the truck.
• managed to locate, stop at, and register to win a vespa at 8 Target stores within easy reach of the highway.
• never really got lost despite doing a lot of off-highway driving around maryland and new jersey looking for Targets.
• gerard miraculously found and secured a parking spot for us right in front of the apartment
• managed to unload the truck in about half an hour
• lani managed to wake me up at 7am so we could drive the truck to the drop-off point in new jersey by 8am.
• survived morning rush-hour traffic in manhattan and got through the lincoln tunnel without incident
• were slightly late returning the truck but didn't get charged any late fees

now, we just have to get lani’s stuff unpacked.

this whole cohabitation thing will be new for me. i’ve only had experience with long distance relationships. even as far back as high school, i’ve never dated someone who lived in the same <em>town</em> as me, let alone the same apartment.
