One day, with the oxytocin having still not worn off, I decided to sign #126 and me up for a registry. Here's the invitation that went with it:
We're so happy you're going to celebrate our odd union with us.
No, we're not get married or moving in together. #126, after giving New York a two-week go of it, has decided he'd rather operate on exotic animals in Sedona. BUT he needs a tenant for his apartment who will pose as his sister so that he can get $100 off his maintenance fee. He also wants someone who will put up with ongoing renovations because he wants to fix the place up to sell it one day.
Tara, meanwhile, does not want to let go of her rent-stabilized East Village pad, so she's going to leave her furniture there and sublet it. And #126 has no furniture other than the hard little pee-stained twin mattress that he's been sticking it out on, so Tara needs furniture, kitchen supplies, etc. #126, of course, will be crashing on the floor when he returns to New York for visits, so will want something to sleep on (preferably something that repels cat hair).
#126 has blond hair and likes hair-brained schemes; Tara has blond hair and likes hair-brained schemes. It was, you could say, a match made in heaven--until they slept together. Yes, they couldn't help themselves. BUT because New Yorkers forge a far stronger bond with real estate than they do with each other, Tara and #126 have decided to put aside any differences and make a commitment to the apartment--although they still haven't figured out what to do if Tara has a boyfriend or #126 wants to bring a girlfriend. That could get hairy.
Aside from that, seeing as this may be the only shot either of them have at a Registry (well, #126 is a lost cause, but there's still hope for Tara), we encourage you to take part in this celebration.
To mark the occasion, Tara will throw some kind of housewarming thing. #126 will be there in spirit (easily done from Sedona). Please join us in celebrating the beginning of this landlord/tenant, renovationer/renovationee, faux brother/sister, former lover/now barely friends but real-estate-committed union.
