The sea urchin has exited. Not quietly, but still gone.

I was the ex-housemate before I went to work and it took a lot for me not to confront her and her girlfriend about all this shit that happened and the shit they said on Facebook. As expected, they talked shit about me to the new housemate and left the room a mess for someone else to clean up. They took some things they didn't come here with, including toilet paper and the window ac unit.

That night we talked about her coming in, and some of the stuff she took.There was some transphobia and slut shaming to go around in other topics. After I leave, this will likely be a house straight cis men of basic everyday misogyny, but I won't be here so whatever. Back to the transphobic, the sea urchin told the new housemate she's a man, so she's still fucking lying about nothing she has to lie about, thinking that's what she needs to do to survive. MN is one the best, safest places to be trans and I'm trans so if there was a problem it would have been long had.

Just, whatever, at this point.

Moving around!// Fuck DA Police!

The housemate and I have had not one, but 2 fights since I last posted! One via text, and one face-to-face. I told the house manager we hate each other now, so we should both leave, and it's agreed upon. The little room has a new person in it as of today, and I'll by out by mid-April. I'm trying to be out on the 6th, which is payday.

The soon-to-be-ex-housemate has been busy trying to shame me in a group of people that already think I'm garbage. She has no influence or persuasive skills, so all she can do is yell into an echo chamber. In other words, maybe an annoyance but no threat what so ever. She can only demonize me to people I dislike, so no one of value.

I met some cool people looking to make a house with each other. I'll be a stranger living with a group of 3 friends, with the encouragement to come a friend, as well. We're all looking for a house, and they want a place by May, but I can wait until August. We're all on the same page about what we want, which is fantastic! I feel like we will all get along nicely, to live together. Now, it's meeting the 3rd of the trio that's the task.

In the meantime, I'm chilling at the house getting my stuff together and looking for where I'm going to crash and store my stuff. I'm glad the new housemate is already here, as they are coming from an uncomfortable situation.

Work with kind of  ruff today. All was normal until the pigs rushed in looking for someone and were aggressive to everyone. They even shock down someone in the dining room area, and I thought shit was going to get ugly. It distressed some of the costumers and the managers had to come out to get the oinkers to tell them why they were there. I was really upset and the customers had my back, and cheered me up, and I was able to calm down. I really hate the police and I don't want them in the store, at all. I don't want them, at all! We need to abolish the police! They kill people of color and the poor. The beat up queers. The rape trans people. The terrorize rape victims! Let's just get rid of them!

Peace-ing out?

After coming up on a year, things aren't going my way around here. I thought resigning to a mainstream life would solve my problems, but I can't commit to selling my soul. I'm not living a %100 mainstream life, and I'll accept that i never will, because now I accept that it's what makes me happy. Travels, meeting new people, and seeing new places is what makes me happy. And, I'm happy doing it without a place to go back to.

I might be heading out to Portland, OR to see what's going on out there. At this point, I feel like I'm wasting away at a cash reg putting money in someone else's pocket and nothing's going to change if I stay here. I'm getting a long with my other housemate, and a new person is moving in but that's still not enough. I'll still be in this house with people I'm not even %75 with without being able to enjoy the whole house. We have a porch but it's filled with trash. We have a bal, but someone has to move into that room because we're behind on the utilities. If I'm so bad off I can't afford to enjoy the whole house than I don't want it at all. I can have the whole outside to myself, sleeping under the trees with a lovely night sky. I don't need these scrubs to be happy. In fact, my life has been worst since I moved in here.

Things with the job have also gone poorly. There was a scheduling mess up with my availability change that I wasn't responsible for, but I had to figure out how to cover it. I told them I might have to call out because of this, and they said that was unacceptable. I didn't want to find someone to cover it, and I couldn't call out without being fired, so I conceded to accepting the shift with much resentment. And, that was the last straw in the box. I can play the game for as long as I have to, but that won't be much longer. I'm going to use my future earnings to buy some stock. I talked about this a long time ago, but stock from local businesses is easier to buy and there's plenty to go around in Minneapolis, alone. Not big investments, but easy to get and for a starter like me.

I know to work, though. I enjoy having duties and responsibilities and people being able to count on me. And, I want what will make things easier, and right now that's money. Those things are obtainable without people that don't know how to do their own availability sheets. Not that the problem didn't get fixed, but the fact that all the happened is unacceptable for me. I'm also taking  chance on moving to a different department, if all goes well.

If all doesn't go well it's off to Portland come June with no intention of returning. Maybe not every goal will be accomplished but some investments will be made to benefit future endeavors. I have good feelings about Portland, despite knowing negative things about the city. If things don't work out, I have many other places near by to consider. And, I can continue my travels from there.
