Weezergirl,
Sorry to hear about the bathroom, get some stuff to clean your pipes out, then they can't blame it on your hair in the future, let them know you clean it regularly with drain cleaner.
Oh and that $1,650 is the cost you pay for living in LA
Your jobs out there pay quite a bit more too though so you can't complain too much. Our 2 bedroom here in Dallas (where pay is about the same as those in the midwest etc) is $1,430 so imagine that.
We're about to move into a house June 1 though, which is $1,950 but we'll be splitting it between 3 people, I can't wait!
