My rent came due, and I finally, moments ago, ponied up the 3m. Wish I would have fucking done it day 1, it's enough to hurt now.

I guess also a statement about how invested I feel in this place. Will be interesting to see how my feelings evolve now that I'm committed to this level. The first thing I've observed is the reflexive "I just paid it, don't you dare lower the price" thing that I hate when other people do -- pulling the ladder up, as it were.

Fresh introspective wisdom -- that 3m at work.
