Lately I write journals and then I just delete them. Not sure exactly why.
Anyways, I have been actively seeking a new apartment this week. I have been wanting to move for so long (years) and everything seems as right as it is going to be financially to do it now. I'm determined though to find something that is going to be a good place for me to be. Honestly, I just think I deserve to live with with more For so long I have worked so hard and lived with so little, but I feel like a fish that doesn't grow because it's bowl is too small.
So this is what I am looking for.

2+ bedrooms
Bathtub
Rabbit friendly
Sunlight
Safe
Laundry facilities
Ideal:
2nd floor
claw-foot bath tub
radiator heat
gas stove--this is almost a requirement
porch
space for meetings and social gatherings
Ready to move in condition
Fenced in back yard
Off street parking
Original wood work
Private owner
Price Max:
All utilities included $900
No utilities $700
General Parameters--not absolute:

We need a resolutionRock the Boat
I really was so sad to hear that she died. I remember where I was when I heard. I was working at Sister's Hospital in the main lobby. It was on NPR. I remember it was about the same time as Paul Wellstone's crash too and 9/11.
Her lyrics are always so great. They sure beat "Just like a tatoo, I'll always have you". That is just absurd.

I miss her too. I loved her voice, she was one of the few contemporary R and B singers that I listened to.

Expiration DatesLast night I wrote a journal titled "Office Space", but I decided to make it a private post. I'll leave it to your imaginations.
I will say that my car has been deemed not worth it's cost in repairs, so I am going to drive it until it takes it's last breath. It could be a while. Isn't it kinda like when people die? You just never quite know how long someone can make it once they are sick. The doctor might say a month but than the person lives on for like five years or more. Not that I think my car will last that long, but I do think that it could be for at least a few months after having been given it's death sentence.
Well, once it does die that is it. I just will not have a car anymore. I'm sorry I can't be a good consumer and spur our dying economy and all that. Maybe if I am lucky I can purchase a new pair of sneakers this year. I hope it helps.

Lots of days go by when I don't use my car. If your car dies and you're in a pinch and need a car for a day or two just let me know. My car is a POS but it always starts up even in the cold. :-)

way to go car free. As a neighbor with too much in the way of autos, I will share a ride the few times that you actually need a car.

Besame muchoThis is one of my favorite Spanish songs originally written by Consuelo Velázquez of Mexico. I just love it! This woman sang it to me and my friend Amanda in Cuba. Ever since then it has been our song. She thought Amanda and I were lovers! Now it is my cell phone ring.
Here is Amanda and I. Aka mi amor.
Here is Andrea Bocelli singing it.
If you would prefer to see the soft gay porn version.
Como si fuera esta la noche
la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
que tengo miedo a perderte
perderte después
Quiero tenerte muy cerca
mirarme en tus ojos
verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana
yo ya estaré lejos
muy lejos de aquí
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta la noche
la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
que tengo miedo a perderte
perderte después
Bésame, bésame mucho...
(e:mike) got the rare opportunity of hearing me sing when I sang this to him on the way home from seeing Juno.
This is just such a great love song. It is so sweet.

That's so cute.
That's so cute.
well shoot... my place meets most of your criteria (no gas stove though- UGH)- but I'm here for at least another year or so. The other places on my block are awfully similar though- worth a look?
Good luck. And I don't think what you want is unreasonable- you should totally be able to find it!
I'm really no help on the apartment thing. However on the journal thing. I think that you write them for a reason. Instead of just getting rid of them. Just put them in draft mode. That way you still have your thoughts down but only you can read them.
I will ask my landlords. They know a bunch of people who rent out space.
You want my apartment then - but believe me you really don't! =D
In all seriousness - congratulations man. Give yourself a living space that you feel comfortable in - you deserve it. Don't forget pictures - I was seething with jealousy when I saw the spaces some of you guys live in. Jay and I should seriously move off of Elmwood - I think you get better value for your money for sure.
