Meant to be

I had been looking for an appartment inh Hollywood, West Hollywood for several weeks through the regular channels of rent.com and such and was very dissapointed with the manner the persons I would speak to would try to snob me out, forcing me to think of the sentence I so like to use in these situations, ... "Sweetie, get over yourself, you're just a clerk", the floorplans and certain information in their advertisements in regards to appliances, square footage and price were wrong compared to what I found out over the phone, and eventually it just became a very discouraging search for the space I needed at a justifiable price, in a neighborhood I could feel home in. One day, we suddenly decided to take a look at Craigs list, and there was that link, on the first page, six links down, I was attracted to it as a magnet, and when I clicked the link, and saw the photos, I yelled it out... That's it, that's my new home, that is where I belong. After reading the description, it only fortified my feelings... when I called I had this very friendly lady on the other line, we scheduled an appointment to visit, and when I met Mia, and visited the building, there were no dissapointments, none!... everything was exactly as described, the kitcyhen was fuly equiped and I loved the combinatio0n of the dark brown cabinets, brown granite countertops, light hardwood floors, black appliances (gas stove, microwave ande dishwasher), the sinks could have been a little wider but that was a very minor something a woman could live with, compared to everythinhg else... discovering that I even had a washer and dryer in a separate little unit that also offered storage space was just absolutely heavenly, and discovering the "Absolutely Fabulous" walk-in closet sealed the deal for me. Add to that the wonderful history of this totally renovated building that was once built to house a lot of the legends of the silent movie era, such as Charlie Chaplin, Valentino, Viola Dana and more who all left a wonderful energy behind made my bohemian blood boil. All felt good, alol was right... I founhd my new home, in the center of Hollywood, in my beautiful pink building. And as a sun worshipper, it even had a sun deck with lounge chairs. This was my home... and it was the only rental application I ever filled out. And Yes... there is quite some noise from Thursday thru Saturday from some of the neighbouring night clubs, but the management is definitely working on it, and has been considerate in reflecting that in their rent demands as long as the noise is disturbing... Hey sweeties... this is Hollywood, and this is Hollywood Boulevard with the marble star studded sidewalks and plenty of good and/or historic bars and some excellent restaurants such as the Geisha House, East, Bella's etc. all withihn walking distance. My heart filled with joy, I might just live here forever, with an eternal smile on my face. Thank you Hollywood, thank you Hillview Hollywood, for so welcoming me here and for offering me a new home right in the center of where I belong. Love, Billie
