i am in love with inventor of craigslist

so yesterday i had a mild panic attack about the difficult task of selling/dontaing/getting rid of all my furniture. after an initial rush of purchases made through the econ dept, there were no bites. this was not good considering i have two days to move out of my apartment and a few days before i leave the west coast!

yesterday i decided to post a few of the larger items on craigslist. . within minutes i started getting calls!

this morning i was able to sell my sofa, my dining room table, two rocking/recliner chairs, a large black bookshelf, and a couple of small picture frames!!!

there were two sets of customers. the first was a couple, both undergraduate students. one at ucla one at usc. they managed to carry the massive, leather sofa out of the apartment. i was very impressed.

the second customer was a nicer, older guy. i was worried at first because he was wavering about the dining room table. in the end, he decided to go for it plus the whole slew of other items. turns out that the woman he was dating was goin to visit his apartment tonight for the first time. . although he had been in the process of re-doing his apartment for awhile, i guess he needed that stimulus to prompt him into action. it was actually cute that he was going through all that trouble to impress a girl. . .

well, just finished posting the rest of my furniture. . .keep your fingers crossed for me!!
