so the landlady hasn't gotten back to me yet, but i don't care anymore. if i get it, then i have a nice place in a good location, if i don't, i have more time to save money and i don't have to deal with her anymore. i'm just afraid of staying at my parents' house until i have "enough" money. pay my back bills.....

goddamn fucking SHIT!
my apartment, you know, the one i was so excited about? well, when i turned in my application, i told the prospective landlord about the possiblity that there was someone else on my social security number (for some reason.) that this person had had a bankruptcy. i know this because i applied for an apartment a couple of years ago, and i...

I've been a fan of your journal for a little while and, but couldn't find the words to express myself and therefore felt reluctant to reply. But today I just had to add my thoughts. You have something that excites you, and then suddenly a twist of fate threatens to take it away from you. Hmm.
My parents rented this place about five years ago while our home was being built. Then without warning, my mother died of cancer. Sadly, she never witnessed the completion of our dream home. To add insult injury, the real estate agent would not release the bond deposit of US$400, because 'the signing parties could not be produced'. It took a lawyer most of the following year to get the money released.
Recently, I've begun dabbling in real estate and yes, I want my managing agent to do a background check on my prospective tenants. I am well aware that landlords have a poor reputation and some truly deserve it. They treat their tenants as nothing more than numbers on a balance sheet. I'd like to think that I treat my tenants well, after all they my most valuable customers. I can't think of another type business where a customer is treated so badly.
I once phoned a friend, but instead reached his landlord, who had just evicted him (for something really trivial). She started abusing me for my choice in friends. She should invest in a personality before investing in property. I listened to her rant on for a minute and then I hung up on her.
For what its worth, I would love to have you as a tenant. Shame, that I am on the other side of the world, but if you are ever in Australia...
I wish you the very best of luck.
Big hug and take care. :Love:

the concert thing? i didn't know you were going! yes, i'll most likely be there 
i've always thought that the little bubbles following schools of seahorses must make a noise like giggling.
i've been listening to african and indian music lately. i want to take voice lessons from someone who knows how to manipulate her voice in ways other than traditional european style operatic. ululating and all . trills and screams, leaping from tone to tone like a bird.

I used to read a book all the time...I can't remember that it was called, it was all in watercolor and about a little boy who went under the sea and rode on seahorses..

The best word for you is "sublime." Being suspicious of it, I don't use that one very often -- but the word fits you just right. Mist pooled in clefts: that's you, too.

terrible, i know. i've been gravely neglecting my duties around here. it just makes me so nervous to try to write. and i keep getting sucked into the tv. i've been looking at apartments, though. tiny, soulless boxes, most of them. the well-located ones are pathetic and overpriced, the inconvenient ones are cuter but still seem overpriced. it's easy to forget how much cheaper it...

Streetlights around here cast a diffuse orange glow, not the silver cone of light I remember from years ago, the top of her hair and toe of her shoe just visible at the edge of it where she waited for me.
no replies to comments this time 'round.. i'm too busy. work, and moving. we're at the wire, and suddenly there's more to do than we thought. god fucking damn. i hate being this busy. my feet hurt. and i'm tired. and i have a full truck and trailer load to unload when i get to my parents house.

sorry to hear about what happened to your copy of 'ulysses'. i know what it's like to ruin or lose a personal favorite. hopefully, your margin notes are still legible. as for me, i'm still trying to figure out what happened to my copy of eco's 'the island of the day before' from the last time i moved. yeah, the text can be replaced, but your devotion to that particular copy can't. * sigh *
driving in the rain, today. pickup truck full of books and bookshelves, blankets and a table. so worried as i drove, that i wouldn't beat the rain - i'd forgotten to grab the tarp as i left. the first drops hit the windshield - slaps to my face punishing my forgetfulness. all i can think of are the soon to be crinkled, waterlogged pages of...

yeah, walking and bussing in the rain is the worst.

when i read this i could see myself driving. i could smell the rain and see the cars, i could hear the windshield wipers scraping over the glass. you are very talented.
slow inspired
fiery, tired.
much to say, no time to write it. i'm used to sleeping 10 hours per day. now i'm at eightish or less, which isn't quite enough for me. makes me dull. exercise will help.
i'm in this terrible poor place right now - we're OUT of money. all the way out. borrowing is the only thing to do at this point....

Yeah, since I have a boyfriend I often fit into the idea of bi girl who just makes out with girls for her boy's sake, so I'm really uncomfortable with my own attraction to girls, I don't want to put out the wrong signal.
kengineer:
Heh, reality check. We exchange a few journal posts, I start thinking of you as an SG member and online acquaintance, and a new set goes up. Wake up, Ken - she's not just ANY girl, she's a SUICIDEGIRL.
I'll say it again - you have killer eyes. Nice body, I like your figure just fine, but the way your eyes relate to the camera is just something else.
Sorry to hear about the poor situation. It is temporary, but meanwhile I know that it sucks. We're rooting for you.

Law school sounds fun, er, interesting. Personally, I could get into just about any subject that's in my face, so may as well go with the most lucrative one.
I was gonna be an artist originally, but decided to do technical stuff instead, and I'm so absorbed by it now that the art world seems tiny in comparison, in both career and thematic possiblites.
Mental masochism isn't necessairly bad, being passionate seems to be against the physical grain, as it were, anyhow.

well, i got a job. one that pays well, and has benefits. in an office. the commute is going to be hellish, but i can deal with it. i'm still applying for a few more positions, though.
i should never write right after i get up. i never have anything to say.
i'm packing my books for the move.. we still don't know what we're...

Huzzah for being employed! One day soon I hope to join the ranks of job havers, myself.
I think my main attraction to blog style is that it gives my journal, while reclusively staring at it, the cursory appearance of having some actual quantity of content, which is thus a reflection of my mind, thus obscuring that I'm totally bereft of any worldly or introspective insight whatsoever. Yep ...

I have a sincere love for plants. I'm not the best at keeping them alive, but my hubby helps with that. Sometimes I like plants more than people/animals. They are sweet and nice and unless they're weeds don't do anything to hurt anyone or anything. They just give off good energy.
You'll get a weary-head-resting place, I'm sure.
