In fact, I had almost no leisure time in between - from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Wendesday and then from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM on Thursday I did nothing but drive around searching and visiting different apartments. I found an apartment in Silver Spring for $1,150 a month and includes all utilities except for water. After doing a thorough itemizing of all my expected monthly expenses (groceries, student loan debt, transportation/commute, etc.) I will have almost $400 leftover for saving, leisure spending and unusual or irregular expenses. I will be moved into my new one bedroom apartment by October 9 or 10 and then I start work on October 14. If other Poly members want to meet somewhere in downtown Silver Spring or somewhere in DC before I start work that'd be cool. If we're going to pick a hangout in DC be merciful to me and choose a place I can walk to or get to by bus from a metro station.

There were run down one bedroom apartments for $850 a month in Silver Spring. snoopy369 Technical Assistant Of the Peanuts Gallery Apr 2004 time: 19:14 03-10-2008 16:10 edit | quote #4 | report | Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win Wow, and I thought Chicago was expensive ... my large 1BR in a niceish area is $880 (up from $775 or so originally 5 years ago) and in still reasonably nice but less expensive areas you could get a reasonable apartment for $650 or so... Also, that's pretty interesting 'all utilities except water'. That's the opposite of Chicago - water is ALWAYS included, heat sometimes, gas+electricity rarely. MrFun Emperor Maryland Nov 2000 time: 19:14 03-10-2008 17:13 | www edit | quote #5 | report | Got spare money? Electricity and gas are higher expenses than water so I'm perfectly happy with just payiing water. Boris Godunov King Portland, OR Aug 2001 time: 17:14 03-10-2008 17:52 edit | quote #6 | report | Tired of ads? My monthly mortgage payment is less than that. I hated the gay scene in DC. Extremely stuck-up and clique-ish. If you weren't part of the DC political scene, most people didn't want anything to do with you. There was this very hot black guy who wanted to take me and my (straight) friend back to his place for a threesome, but naturally that didn't work out, hehe.

Well the DC guys I've chatted with on gay.com know I'm an outsider and a newcomer and they still chatted with me and seemed friendly enough. But yeah, there were others who didn't care to chat with me. I'm not going to be living in the gay community anyway but might be fun enough to visit.

Or was this an inside joke? Nope, honest question. But it's likely there's more than one gay black man in the DC area, so it's not as if the odds we know the same person are high.

But that is one of the reasons why I DID choose Silver Spring - because I wanted to be closer to Washington DC without being too far from work (College Park).

I had a gay black man who entered the graduate physics program in MD at the same time as me. I think that he left with his MSc though. And that was just in my program of ~50 people. So lol.
