HELP! Housing in the Boston area?

[mijan]

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

okay just had to reply to this...(cant keep my nose out of things)


In the past, I've picked up and fixed a lot of minor issues on the ship, steered it back to better waters, inspired events to get our little community to interact and be more active, and it's been good.

hey! That's what we've been doing too...because sometimes, when you don't take charge, your ship just tends to...drift away. We don't have a captain, but a small group of L&Lers who have been loyal to the ship see to the problems. I myself am not an oldbie, as I've just joined last June of 2005, but I think it's the influence not the time that matters. A question though, is it better if there was a captain?

Because I was so busy running around with all my real-life issues, I didn't have time to dig into it and try to fix the problem.

hey...you have a life aside from SCUSA. People should respect that.

*If* I were to lay any blame, I'd blame myself for not being around and not being able to mediate like I have in the past,

No, don't blame yourself. It was their choice not yours. Like Meg said, you can't control others, only yourself. They did that because of who they are, not because you couldn't stop them.

Just...hang on. You'll get through...seems to me you're a pretty strong captain.

To answer your question, having a Captain can be a good thing. For a while, we had a Captain who just wasn't around. So, a bunch of shippers decided to stage a mutiny, and they nominated and voted in new people. I didn't get involved in the nominations or voting, mostly because I was the unanimous nominee for Captain, and it would have been very awkward for me to get involved. I told them that whatever they all decided, I'd be fine with that. So, the voting was also unanimous, and as a result, we ended up with a very cohesive, happy, energetic, and active ship. There were only a few times that I needed to take the wheel and steer, and that usually came about when it was obvious that the ship was floundering. And then, people reacted very positively to the touch of guidance, and things were fixed very quickly and easily. Much love on the ship.

So, having a Captain is good, if the person is the obvious leadership figure. If two people are equally leaders, you can call for co-captains. Having titles is both fun, AND it's the sort of thing that if you have the right leaders, people will come together even more tightly around those leaders if there's a sense of "officialness" to it. Sounds silly, but it's true.

Anyhow, stuff to do right now, but I'll be around, and I'll look into the thread later.
