i've got some real estate here in my bag
short update 'cos i am working on homework, in theory.
katie and i went to look at a HOUSE today! a real house!! it's one of the ones i saw in the emerald, and it is really exciting. i'm not sure how much of it is excitement about having any house, as opposed to excitement about
this house, but i'm aware of this problem and therefore it won't be a problem. but anyway, it's 4 bedrooms, not too far away -- at 26th & alder, pretty close to spencer view where
brian and charles will be living, as well as to some other good stuff like our indian restaurant. it's not too much money, and it has a washer and dryer, and a huge kitchen, although the bedrooms are kind of small. we are going to look inside on thursday, though, and we'll see. i'm excited!!
it's happy hour again!
i am afraid i have been overcome with lethargy/laziness/depression/boredom/busyness (yes, busy AND bored -- figure that one out) recently and therefore have not updated in 2 weeks or so . . . but the requests for me to do so (
bill) have become overwhelming (kinda) so here i am.
school has started. blar. it's dumb as usual. am taking 2 french classes (french theater and baroque&enlightenment lit), geology of oregon and the pacific NW, and language play, which
nearly makes up for the others being so blah. drama and issues have continued (i accept full responsibility . . . well, nearly) but seem to have gotten better recently. i need to work on not being so heavy. figuratively, that is. although for various reasons, i haven't been eating much lately, either.
so. let's see. went to see "electra" at the university theatre with
chris wells,
shelby,
david, and
scott.
brian is running sound for it and kept saying how fantastic it was. and it was quite good. yesterday chris wells and brian and i went to saturday market, which is always fun, and i even wore shorts 'cos it was kind of warmish. then later i went to see a movie (
finding forrester) with bryon, kim, and charles. yay! today i answered two ads in the emerald for houses . . . they were both 4 bedrooms, but arlie said he wouldn't mind staying in the apartment, so that works out well. one of the houses sounds nice . . . yard and everything . . . though yard means yardwork, which will be interesting. i'm not buying a lawn mower. and today brian and i went to the library book sale at the fairgrounds and spent $26 on about 15 books. yay! i got susan faludi, and gloria steinem, and betty friedan, and victor hugo, and a book for my mom called "how to live with a neurotic husband." b. got some weird things about being healthy, and some weird sci-fi/fantasy stuff, and some other weird stuff. go figure.
oh! i inspired yet another
relatively-often updated journalish-thing with song quotes! katie, though, has taken it one step further (farther?) and has listed which songs her quotes come from . . . i might have to do that. but we'll see.
what else? . . . thinking . . . dunno. i'm bored and procrastinating, but i s'pose i should go be a good little girl and do my reading.
she's trying to be a good girl, and give them what they want
once again, a break has come and gone without me having updated my web page. at least this time i cleaned my room . . . i had to; mom came to visit yesterday (with marika and stephen, of course). so now there are places to walk in here. it's great.
in other news, i very nearly got a
tattoo but then decided that i should wait until i'm really really excited about doing it, as opposed to my current feeling of "yeah i'd like to someday." jen was disappointed because we were going to go together. but it's ok, because it would have been at least $50, and i spent too much money on clothes anyway.
shelby and i went to portland and went shopping at the gap outlet store and old navy, and then we met
ben at pioneer place and hung out there a little bit. i took the bus home because i was on duty, but shelby stayed the night there. i have worked a lot (this update is severely out of chronological order) so i think i should be fine (financially, at least =P ), and these are the last clothes i get to have for the rest of my life, ever. then
brian came home on friday, and there is some minor drama, mostly consisting of my same old stupid issues . . . then mom, marika and stephen came down, and brought the greyhounds, who are neat doggies. and . . . school starts tomorrow . . . blar. starting off with a clean room always helps, though, and classes shouldn't be too bad . . . more on them later, after i've actually been.
