After Laura's funeral (which will be tomorrow - Thursday 6th) I will be more or less done with Oxford. Living in this flat is like living in a mausoleum, and in any case I (a) can't afford to keep it going on my own and (b) need to move nearer to my place of work in London, as there really is nothing to keep me here anymore.
I have a few weeks to go before chucking-out time - as if I didn't have enough to worry about - so would like to make a serious request to any IL* posters in/around London to see if anyone would like a flatmate/housemate? I'm exceptionally friendly, pay my own way and could offer much in the way of intellectual/non-intellectual stimulation (steady on missus). I'd much rather share (at least for now) with people I know I'd get on with (not that you can always, if ever, tell via the internet, but y'know, gotta restart somewhere/somehow). What I don't want to be is on my own. I'm really scared of that.
If anyone's got anything to offer (or at least any interesting ideas) I'd love it if you could e-mail me privately.
Of course I wish I wasn't in a position where I had to type something like this, but such is shit.
