You know what really pisses me off? Sophomoric a** clowns who contantly use the word "gay" to describe things. "Look at that hat, that's so gay!" or "Oh my god, that car's so gay!" Is it? Is the hat homosexual? Is the car happy? NO! These are objects! They do not have sexual preferences or emotions. They... are.... not... gay! And of course, we all know what they really mean with this, so tra la la, let's all giggle like schoolgirls now because someone said "gay" Tee hee. Makes me want to bludgeon them to death with a frozen leg of lamb. From a gay sheep!!!
And where's the equality?! I never hear "Ugh, that doll is so straight!" or "Can you believe what he's wearing? My god, that's so straight!!" Why is heterosexuality not used as a derogatory term as well? And I know what's you're saying. But Phaedra, you just said that those are objects, so they don't have a sexual preference or emotions. Yes, I know. And I still say that. But what I mean is since these jackasses aren't going to stop calling everything they don't personally like "gay", then at least have some ******** equality! Besides, imagine the fun you can have by confusing their tiny little minds as you walk up behind someone who's rambling on about the gay jeans someone was wearing and snidely say in full-out Valleygirl voice "Ew. Like, OMG... your hairstyle is so... ugh... straight!" Then just walk away and leave them there, scratching their empty heads and trying to figure out if they were just insulted or not.
Though I still say it would be even more fun to just walk up behind her, grab her by the back of the head, and bludgeon her to death with a frozen leg of gay lamb.

Damn, been forever since I've updated. eek Well, Saew and I are still in the same cute lil apt, we found a kitten in the ceiling and adopted her... so now we have 2 cats again, major car troubles but seem to have that well in hand again, and that's about it.
And less than a month ago, I learned how to swim! WOOT! Been several times since then (to Dante's pool). And I'm always soooo good and never go without sunscreen, usually SPF 50 (I'm so white I glow in the dark).
Went swimming today... forgot the sunscreen sweatdrop Dante and I were out there from about 11:30AM till 1:45PM, then again from about 2:45PM till 4PM. I am BURNED! I am lobster red on my face, arms and a bit on my thighs. My face stings, but what's hurting like hell is my upper arms. They HURT!! gonk I'm sitting here right now with vinegar soaked rags on them. I was supposed to go run errands tomorrow, but getting a sunburn makes me sick as well as sore, so now it looks like it's going to be a day or two till I get those done. sad
Maybe this will teach me to NEVER, EVER forget the sunscreen again!!
Gods, I'm a dumbass!

We're moving again this weekend... but this time, we'll be moving into our own, non-hotel, actual apartment place!! YAY!!!!!! It's a nice apartment in a historic house. The house is something like 90 years old. It's divided into 4 apartments, and unlike alot of those divided houses, this one looks like it actually started life as apartments to begin with. Our place is upstairs, on the second floor. The landlady's daugher (who's MRDD, but high functioning) is across the hall, and rather quiet. From what I recall, the landlady said the downstairs apartments were two other ladies, and we've not heard a peep out of them while we've been there. So we shouldn't be having problems with the neighbors. Though, if Saew IS the only guy in the place, we may end up getting "can you fix/do "this" for me" every so often.
Now, into the apartment....It's HUGE! You go up the stairs and turn left, go through the door and are in a small foyer with a little L shaped half-wall. Turn right to start coming around the wall and you're facing the living/dining room. If you finish going all the way around the wall, you're in the bedroom. It's all open, no door, so we might hang a curtain, but with it just being the two of us, we might just leave it open. The bedroom is huge! There's a faux fireplace with a cool stone mantle, and one of those built-in storage/seating boxes in the wall. From the bedroom, there's a door leading to our rather large balcony outside (of course, it's currently freezing here, so we'll be ignoring the balcony for a few months)... it's the size of a small room all on it's own. The ceiling is still the original plaster, and a big chunk had fallen down while the place was vacant. The landlord discovered it when she opened the door to show us the place. Saew looked at it and said he could repair it with not too much problem... (just cut a square around it and put up sheetrock, then plaster and paint it, or something like that. No, it wouldn't be the original plaster, but there's no way to get that back up there, anyway.) That's when we found out the age of the building. She said that if we do the repairs (to the ceiling plaster or anything else) that she'll knock some off our rent when we do. Since the place IS old and does need some MINOR repairs (and they really are minor... just cosmetic and such, it's structually very sound), we might be getting discounted rent often.
Anyway, so we're in the bedroom and we have ugly, but relatively neutral, carpet and a cool fireplace... and a nifty glass door going to the balcony. Turn back around, and we go into the HUGE living/dining room... with it's lovely hardwood floor! And it's awesome bay windows taking up most of one wall!! And it's cool wall-inset gas heater that looks almost like a fireplace! YAY!! *does the happy dance*
The door to the closet (a big walk-in) is in this room, as is the door for the bathroom. And yes, the bathroom is huge too. Not sure what we're going to do with all the space in there, but it gives us room for Drei's litterbox. We gave Mishka to Dante's mom, so we're down to one cat for now. The only problem I have is that there's no shower, just a tub. We're going to have to get one of those attachments for the nozzle again... but I can deal with that.
Out of the bath, back into the livingroom... and now through to the kitchen. It's a decent size, not huge but not tiny. Good cabinet space. The sink is kinda small, but it's good for what we need. And through the kitchen is the door to the back porch. It's entirely closed in, so it's really more like a utility room. There's washer and dryer hook-ups there, and more storage space.
And that's our soon-to-be new place. We signed the lease and paid the deposit Wednesday night. I'll be meeting her tomorrow morning around 11 to pay the rent (which she actually pro-rated for December... alot of private-owned places don't do that), the pet deposit, and to show her the receipts for putting the utilities in our name. Then, she'll give me the keys and we have a place!!
We have NO furniture, but we have a place! Though, tonight, we went to the thrift store and found a complete full-size bed for $30, so we bought that... now just have to get it there. But, at least we have a bed now. There's a table and 2 old dressers in the place, she told us we can leave them as is, refinish them, throw them out, whatever we want. We plan to keep and paint them. There's also a microwave that she said she'd leave and we can use. So, we're starting out with a bed, 2 dressers, a table, and a nuker... but it's our place and we can get furniture. Bottom line... IT'S OUR PLACE! And it's COOL!!!!!!!!
Ok, anyway *takes a deep breathandcalms down*.... no phone yet, might be a week or two. As far as she knows, it still has working cable. If so, cool... free cable! If not, no biggie, we'll get it later. And we got the electric and gas switched into our names, should have gone into effect today, so yeah.
She said we could paint as well, since everything is white, so now I just have to decide *what* to paint it! I want to see about taking pictures before we move anything into it, and then after we have *everything* done and set up. I might just do that.
But anyway.... yeah.... we got a place!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah, the past couple days have been a bit busy. Saew and I have been looking for a place of our own, and we *thought* we'd found the perfect one... a cute little apartment in a tri-plex. It was cool, it was funky, it was awesome! The guy who was renting it (not the owner, but his agent) talked about it with us and said to call him later that night about it so he could get our info and all. Well, we call him back and it turns out the owner had rented it to someone else! crying I sniffed, I cried, I was most upset.
Anyway, there was another place we'd called, but we hadn't gone to look at. So, we call the lady who owned it again and set up an appointment for this morning to go see it. Saew said he had a "good feeling" about it, but since he'd also had one about the first place, I really didn't care about that one way or the other.
So, this morning, we go look at the place. It's an old house (we found out it's something like 95 years old... UBER COOL!) that's been made into 4 apartments. The one we were looking at was upstairs. The stairs are a bit of a climb, but not that bad. We both liked it pretty much from the second we walked in! It's just a really cool, full-of-character, unique apartment.
So, we're looking at it and talking to the landlord and find out that her daughter lives in the apartment across the hall, which is fine with us. She did say that her daughter is MRDD and "likes people", so I'm hoping this was not a subtle way of saying she'd be over at our place night and day. But, we'll deal with that when needed.
She had us fill out an application, and was not the least bit concerned that I didn't have our old landlord's phone number, all she really wanted was the info for Saew's job. Then, she said to call her tomorrow after she verifies his employment, but "as far as I'm concerned, you can have it". biggrin
So yeah, we'll call her tomorrow, and with any luck we'll get the ball rolling on getting the place. We can pay the deposit immediately, but we won't have the money for the rent and pet deposit till Friday... hopefully that won't be a problem. She said she's pro-rate for December, which is cool, and we have to get the utilities put in our name and show her proof of that before we can take possession, but we'll be able to do that Thursday. So, all in all, things for this place are looking quite good. Yay!!
If not, and something does fall through on it, we can always go to this other place we know of, but we'd really rather not. 'Nuff said on that. 3nodding

Here I am again.... no sleep. Last night, I was really tired and managed to go to bed early (10:30 or so), but got woke up after about an hour and a half. So, I laid there for awhile, but no luck going back to sleep. Ended up getting up after laying there for a few hours trying.
So, yeah, I was really tired tonight. Went to bed early again (like, sometime around 8:30 or 9)... and got woke up something like an hour later! gonk So, I laid there, occassionally drifting in & out, but mostly just laying still hoping to go back to sleep. Nope, no good. I'm one of those that, no matter how tired I am, if I've been asleep for an hour or more, it's *just enough* to take the edge off, and there's no going back to sleep once I've been woke up.
So much for switching my sleep schedule. Oh well, maybe later I guess.
Then again, after I cool off a bit (really hot in here for some reason... usually it's cold) I may try again. Who knows, maybe even just laying there will rest me up enough to get me through the day, and then I can go to bed early again... this time with a HUGE "Do Not Disturb" sign!

Let the mood swings begin |

I wish I knew exactly what was going on with me... one minute I'm fine, the next I'm terribly, terribly depressed. I know I'm bipolar, I have been for years. I know I have other mental problems, too... but so far, I've been able to control everything and keep myself in check without the need of meds or anything else. So why am I suddenly back to being like this? I haven't been like this in years.
It isn't even really that I don't know why some of this is happening... I do. I know what's upsetting me, or making me depressed, or making me cry... most of the time, anyway. But, it's just that, being me, I keep it all bottled up. I just don't feel comfortable talking to anyone about it.
