“squatter’s rights?”
(if you live in a seemingly ‘abandoned’ house long enough (30 days?) then you earn the right to stay there)

(eviction from mount’s motel)
(princeton human services informed me on ‘1 september 2015’ that i would not be approved for a 1-year extension in rental assistance)
(since i never delivered them a “med 1 form” from new horizons)
(i had been “trying” to get one since 1 january 2015)
(8 months later…)
(i was granted an additional month of assistance in september)
(on 1 october 2015 elisa neira informed me that i had 10 days left at the motel)
(on 10 october 2015 the motel staff informed me that i needed to move out by 11AM on 11 october 2015)
(jackie skinner-simon moved my remaining belongings to 34 burning tree)
(i stored them in arv’s bedroom)
(i left the rest of my belongings there for them to throw out)
(though i never returned the room key)
(and i left arv’s bike there)
(i need to pick that up today)
(13 october 2015)
(hope it’s still there)
(now i’m crashing at arv’s pad for the time being)
(although his parents probably don’t know that i’ve been evicted from the motel)
(and matthew has been in a bad mood)
(and arv and i need to find jobs)
