Event - The life that Jack built

jackApparently my life is interesting enough to warrant clarification. So, for the benefit of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
atreic and anyone else curious, an update. I'll put in the background as well, just in case anyone who doesn't know me personally has been captivated by my writing style and curious.
I just graduated, and got a job on the science park.
Over the past month or so I have been looking to share a house. I am sharing with Georgina, who prefers to be called "George" or occasionally "Porgie" and to the best of my knowledge does not have a live journal. I met her only then, but she's a very good friend of Dunstan, who I know from the Winnie-the-Pooh society. Who says networking is boring or useless? :) We have been looking for a third person, found one who pulled out, and are now supposedly definately but not confirmedly sharing with Nav, a friend of a friend of George.
The house we found was the first one we looked at, but at the time there was another pair who we thought got first dibs, but then they never got back to the agency. When we didn't have a third person we decided to rent for the first month by ourselves, and find someone in the meantime. We currently have Nav, who will hopefully move in a month or before.
For the past two weeks George and I have been trying to get references from our banks and employers, etc. proving we exist (Appiedaize wasn't having any truck with Samuel Johnson's refutation). We finally got the last one back yesterday, and collected the keys, and moved in, and celebrated with the aformentioned Italian.[1]
The house is on acrefield drive, which is (1) just behind the boat houses ("Squee! Lyc[2]ra'd buttocks!"--paraphrased from a friend of George') (2) just over the river from jesus green (just past the second, currently broken) bridge (3) just north-west of where it crosses Elizabeth Way crosses the river (4) in the triangle formed by the river, Chesterton Road, and Elizabeth Way. I was going to have a poll which of these was the most useful direction, but can't be bothered.
There will be a housewarming party at some point, promise. Suggestions?
[1] An Italian meal. An Italian was mooted by various voices, but when the only continental-beautiful-body/meal pun we could come up with that wasn't as crude as "eating it" was "They'd both be covered in oil" the voices were muted, and the point was finally mooted in the US sense.
[2] Edit: Atreic gave me a 'c'.

Date: 2004-09-04 02:25 pm (UTC)There'll also be some smaller gatherings before, to do some house-christening, though I'll wait for the new term for a big party. I may even aim for a small dinner party a week, to which people can try to wangle invitations if they're in cambridge.
