Okay, this is probably the biggest crap-shoot I've ever taken, but I figured, why not? 

I did procure housing in the Boston area, so if I can't find anything else, at least I won't be out on the streets.  HOWEVER, as you can probably guess, it's hellishly espensive... and I'm miserably poor right now.  So, here's my desperate cry for help:

If you live within commuting distance of Boston, do you have a spare room that I could rent at a reasonable price?

I am reliable, generally quiet at home (spend way too much time writing fanfic or reading), willing to do chores, share cooking, and generally help out around the house or apartment.  I don't need much space, don't play loud music (I don't even own a CD player), and don't watch much TV.  Ask anyone on my friends list who met me at TWH... I'm friendly, upbeat, energetic, and sometimes too honest.  If you have space, or you know someone who does, please let me know.  Either post here, or e-mail me at jedi_mijan@yahoo.com.

Thanks,
M

Hi there...I would personally like to say sorry if we, the L&Lers, have offended you or your GnH oldbies, because I know we have. *points up*

We never wanted this thing (ship war) to happen...all we wanted was a fun thread which was a new experience. Is it so hard to ask for just one thread? We wanted to show the others that it's not that hard for intership unity to happen...and yes, you said your opinion, but it was still out-voted. If the other shippers who didn't like it, shared their opinions and actually voted on the poll, then maybe we could have avoided it. It just sucks that people have to bitch about it in the middle of the thread...where everyone can see.

Again, I'm sorry. Can we just have a truce?

Sandi, first, yes we can certainly have a truce. But I think I need to explain... our frustrations have been severely misdirected. I'm actually not irritated at the L&L people at all. I'm irritated at my own shippers. There's stuff going on that isn't apparent on the merged thread, that began several threads ago, and that's still going on in the background. What you're seeing is vented frustration on the surface. There were some things going on with our own ship... people who had been posting for ages had been shunned by the newer group, people were treated like dirt, and all the things that the G'n'H had avoided for ages have been happening. For almost two years, we hadn't had lines between oldbies and newbies. People came together on the ship and got along. In the past few threads, things have gone sour. I can't exactly pin it down, but it's just happened... and this merged thread came about at the exact wrong time. It's not your fault, or any of your ship-mates faults. I understand that you're trying to do a good thing here. None of my anger is actually directed at you guys. I don't like the D/Hr pairing, but that doesn't mean that I dislike you guys as people, and that's never been the case. There are a lot of things going on right now, and I simply let my frustrations get the better of me.

So, from my end, I apologize for expressing my problems inappropriately, and I'm more than happy to have a truce. Hopefully, I'll get my problems with my own shippers solved soon. I don't have the energy for conflict anymore, nor the taste for it.

yeah I do get that...

Really? wow...that's major. And your captain...that must be hard. Good luck and keep it up.

I don't have the energy for conflict anymore, nor the taste for it.

likewise. And again, I'm sorry for what happened. I hope that someday we can all look past this and just be friends. :) *offers hand*

*sigh* Yeah. While being "Captain" is technically just a title, on the G'n'H, it was a voted position, and it actually does carry leadership weight. So do the positions of First Mate and First Lieutenant. But my first mate has been completely driven away, and the Lieutenant hasn't been posting in recent threads either. I'm left with seeing the ship I love having some major problems... you can see why I'm a bit upset.

And don't worry about apologizing... as I said, this is not your fault, and I was never actually angry at you or your shippers. I'M sorry that you might have thought I was angry at you. I'm just frustrated with the situation. And we can certainly be friends. I'm a friendly sort of person... and usually very upbeat. You just... er... caught me at a bad time. Hopefully, things will be back to normal soon. *shakes hands*
