Apartment Hunting

This is a very cruel game. Apartment hunting. It starts out by getting as many of those little apartment books as you can and thumbing through them. Then you start comparing apartments. By this time you are getting more and more into it. Next you move on to calling and finding out information about the ones you are interested in. Making sure it is a big enough game, oooo does it have a swimming pool that you will never use but pay for it anyways? (Yes even though it says that it is a amenity you are still payin for it, it is included in the rent. Shocker isn't it!) or how about free utilities, which are the same as the free pool. How much is rent? After the sizing up the game by scoping out with the phone you move on to setting up your area. you stalk out each potential apartment that you have narrowed it down to. The one that is close to work, the one that is the cheapest and most practical, the one that you would give your first born for because it has every possible amenity that you would ever want. You make up a reason for not going after the one close to work after visiting it, the practical one is your second choice while you have justified paying almost double for the apartment of your dreams. after you determine whether or not you can afford it you apply. Then it gets interesting. Turn in your application and wait like a hunter who has found that prize deer. You know that it is in your grasp all you are waiting on is to sign on the dotted line. You are getting ready to pull the trigger and BAM! the deers catches wind and is out of your range. You have lost all sight of the deer (apartment) and now you are back to were you started, sucks doesn't it!
