Not one but both of my flatmates are leaving soon. As I see it, I have 3 options:

1: Find 2 new flatmates.

2. Find somewhere else to stay in Cambridge.

3. Hand in my notice and move back to Edinburgh mondo pronto.

Door number three sir, door number three. It's a sign.

[velvetfox.livejournal.com]

All options seem sound to me. Which inspires you most?

[zotz]

Number three, to be honest. My plans have involved getting away from Cambridge this summer anyway. The first involves getting in people who'll have to find another flatmate themselves in two or three months, and the second would mean I'd have to sign a six-month[-plus] lease and so is a nonstarter.

Come back to Edinburgh ! :)

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Bah, seems like a whole bunch of nice people are up and leaving Cambridge. :(

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Booo, seems like a whole bunch of nice people are up and leaving Cambridge :(

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

and of course options (2) and (3) mean the demise of Godwin Close, which has been the home to Cambridge goths and rockers for at least 5 years (maybe more?).
I almost can't bear to think of the place being inhabited by 'normals'.

I have to say option 3 looks like the best one. But Edinburgh is a long way from London. :(

[purplerabbits.livejournal.com]

You know what I'd suggest... And if you did come to Edinburgh, would you consider sharing a flat with me, sibelian and calar?

[sheepthief.livejournal.com]

So, do it. Be true to yourself.

[nevla.livejournal.com]

Indeedy. *sob* :(

[zotz]

Well, I've been there for three. Who was there before Jo and the Steves?

[zotz]

Is calar anyone I know?

[feanelwa.livejournal.com]

Well if i was there i wouldn't mind finding a new flatmate when you move. Course then i'd be moving too shortly after. Hm. But, well, unless i annoy you as much as i sometimes worry that i do, you already have one person who'd want to move in for a short while. Or maybe two actually, if Duncan wants a room to himself.

[purplerabbits.livejournal.com]

She was at BiCon with white wings - I think you know each other

[zotz]

Nope, I'd be quite happy for you to be in. And I wouldn't have to clear it with Rob now, of course.
If people are after the rooms, then there's little problem, although the turnover looks like it would be a little intense.

At least two of Cambridge's lovely people are moving to London, where you could go instead (Ballroom! Ballroom! Ballroom!) Ahem.

~sigh~
I know you've been wanting to head off for a while now. So I guess I'd have to advise option 3. Much as I don't don't don't want you to go somewhere where I won't see you.
I barely know you.
And things.

And if you're actually interested in coming back any time between now and August - Phone me. Are you coming up for Gigantor?

[araqnid.livejournal.com]

Me, Jo and James Garland took it from unoccupied. I guess that was 1998 or so. I moved out in 99, can't remember exactly the order after that. Who's the third person there apart from you and Karen?

[zotz]

Righto.

I'll be up for the May one, barring disasters.

[zotz]

Rob (Who Is Known As The Gnome).

[kiaransalyn.livejournal.com]

Go for option 3!

Edinburgh makes you happy.

Excellent!

[sibelian.livejournal.com]

Coolness abounds...

[green-amber.livejournal.com]

Oh move back to Edinburgh. More LJers here.. that'd be fun.

[green-amber.livejournal.com]

PS nice to finally meet you!

[gingiber.livejournal.com]

Def option 3. Come back home :)

Option Four

[(Anonymous)]

I say come to Eugene. I've just vacated my flat and my landlords need someone in the space. There's no work, but you can't throw a rock without hitting a science fiction writer...

-X.

[original-aj.livejournal.com]

I'm voting 3 too. You'll never have less entanglements than you do just now. And we want you back - the far south's had you for too long.

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

Nev (Julie) lived here at some point, around the same time that Rob Izzard did, and also an Irish bloke called James lived here with Jo and Steve...

[kitty-goth.livejournal.com]

I think that moving back to Edinburgh might be the thing. I know you've been talking about it and (especially) thinking about it.

I'd be sad to see less of you, but if it's going to make you happy...

If...

[venta.livejournal.com]

...by any chance you go for (1), I do know someone who's probably going to be looking for a short-term let of a room in Cambridge in a month or so.

Re: If...

[zotz]

If they're interested under the circumstances, then by all means (please) let them know.

Cheers.

[zotz]

Indeed, although slightly unexpected.

[green-amber.livejournal.com]

Are you really moving to Edinburgh? Do you know the sf people here, or just the goths?!

[zotz]

I know some of each, but not them all. Any individuals in mind?
