Random Scrap:
When I arrived back in the Bay Area there were two things waiting for me. [Kalea] did not pay for the second month of the rent and despite her strong promises over the phone I knew that I was not going to see the money ever again. Second thing was Tim and Barbara, my new roommates who Darren found as his replacement as the last ditch attempt. I can't pretend that I wasn't happy with that forced choice. In their forties, or maybe even fifties, they were not demographically near being students and they were a couple. But I did go off for two months to enjoy London and my abilities to interview anyone were remote plus it was still probably better than having to pay the whole rent for the whole place (which I would not be able to afford) or move out. So I accepted the situation as it was. I knew I was going to miss Darren. Maybe we had not established the quality of household that we aimed for at the beginning but we did have good time, he did on occasion give me a ride to the campus and did put on with my sublet.
