the last adventure

I'm moving! I have all my stuff packed, I'm sitting on just a mattress, staring at my empty closet and blank desk. Now I just have to carry it all to my new place around the corner.

Megan and I had our last little adventure before we both moved out. This morning our front door wouldn't close. The metal strip at the bottom popped up, and we couldn't screw it back in because it was stripped. So Megan called management who said that we needed to figure it out ourselves because they couldn't come until Monday. Really nice, guys. The front door wouldn't close! So Megan got out her handy tool kit, and was about to unscrew it from the floor completely, hoping to fix the problem.

Then I suggested, half jokingly, half seriously, that we just duct tape it down to the floor. We both looked at each other, laughed, and I ran into the kitchen to get the duct tape. I ran back, peeled a few strips off, and taped the metal frame down to the floor. I was laughing and said that finally our apartment can be considered ghetto. Megan still had her tool kit out, and instead of getting up to grab scissors, she just used the little saw to cut the strips of tape. A ghetto job done with ghetto means. I love this apartment.
