heidi is one of jessie's random friends from college . . . it would be like me living with . . . christine hsu. not a super close friend, but def a person she knows and likes. all this stuff happened with her family senior year and she didn't finish her degree in a timely manner . . . so she's still in the rochester area. then she was living with her boyfriend but she found out he was cheating on her so that ended. now she lives in geneseo but wants to move into the city - something that she can afford ONLY if she has a roommate . . . so really, its working out perfectly.

the security deposit thing . . . i'm afraid he'll be a bit vengeful as he thinks we are big partiers. that pisses me off - because its jess. but she def got a call about the party she had while i was in boston where one of the guys puked in random parts of the house (not our apartment) and him and another guy peed off our balcony onto the cars below. i do NOT want to be held responsible for that . . . but i also don't think we'll get he whole security deposit back because i think our landlord is a dick. so - the original deposit was $700 - completely paid for by my parents. i figure i'm going to ask for $650 back from heidi and jess if the landlord doesn't do some sort of walk through and give it back to me directly. that way, i'll be chipping some amount but not a lot . . . then i can give my parents back the $700 without breaking my bank account between my new security deposit, first month's rent, paying them back . . .
