HennyPenny's random thoughts. New set of goals!

[hennypenny9]

Thought that I had found a good deal, but it would be only if I could find a roommate. My mom had told me that finding one would be easy, since everyone she or I know is having financial problems. So I found a condo that if we split the price, would be $550.00 each. But now my mom is saying that it will be hard to find a roommate! Guess why? Because they all moved back in with their parents, and are now living for FREE. So I'm feeling the way I used to in the past: Nauseous, and on the verge of a panic attack. It's hard to feel motivated to do anything, because I keep thinking, "the house is going to close, and I will have no where to go, except HOME." I came back up to B-ham because staying at my parent's place was driving me nuts. My step-dad. I just can't stand him. Long story. He's not a bad guy, I just don't get along well with him.

I think I'm going to take a long bubble bath.

It's pretty cold here, about 57. I'll try to stop whining now. What's going well at the moment... Um. There's a new Indian restaurant in Gig Harbor! I like Indian curry, but not Thai. (coconut milk/lemon grass *shudder*) There's a new theater, which has showings with no kids allowed! Once I move -wherever I go- I will not have to let strangers randomly look through my place. I will downsize by giving away or selling things, so less to clean and worry about.

I am sorry to hear your dew digs fell through. I hope something comes up soon!

Wow, so sorry to hear about the house. Something will come up soon....I can feel it! Good luck hunting!

 

[hennypenny9]

Thanks guys! I'm sure something will. My mom wants me to move into Rebecca Shore, which cracks me up! It's otherwise known as the "Heartbreak Hotel." It's the cheapest in town one bedroom, and if you get divorced in the Harbor you move in there.

Okay, so i got divorced and if you live in Gig Harbor you know that a requirement is to move to Rebecca Shores! taken from apartmentratings.com

I told her that I could find plenty of single desperate guys there, and she took it back.

It is always the darkest before the morning ... something good is probably just on the horizon.

Hang tight hon.....you know the biggest life lesson that I have learned is that things change when you least expect them.... and that the true test of your strength is your ability to roll with that change and find a way to make the best of it.

Things will work out, have faith

I will keep you in my prayers

You're all so nice!

I'm still up in Bellingham, and won't go back down until maybe Monday. My step-dad has a friend visiting, and Charlie doesn't like men. Yes, I am basing my plans around my cat. But I have a fear that he will actually attack someone if I push him. He yowled at my step-dad last time.

The weathers been stormy and rainy, and I'm loving it.

 

[DrakeMaiden]

Hee hee hee . . . always trust your cat. Well . . . unless it is psycho like one of mine is.

I'm lovin' the weather too. It makes me think I am at the ocean. Moody and drizzly. It is my kind of holiday weekend!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I went to the super natural pet store to find some way to clean Charlie's teeth. They're looking bad, and it's my fault. I know I need to get him on a better diet. I got some powder stuff with cheese that's supposed to break down the tarter. Anyone heard of this? I hope I'm not poisoning him... The other (short term) option is to brush his teeth. I'm afraid of that...

Anyway, while I was there I got some dried lamb liver treats for him. He won't TOUCH them. How dare I buy real meat, instead of cornmeal?

ETA: Two of the possible places for me to live were re-listed today, for lower rent! Of course, being myself, I'm now worried that they'll rent right away. Whatever, something will work out. And at least this means that not a lot of people are snatching up rentals, and I'll have a chance. Hopefully.

I've distracted myself by collecting things that are sure to make me smile.

Data from Star Trek! (And Star Trek in general)

Calvin and Hobbes! I won't post a pic, since I know the author fought against commercializing his comic. Instead I will quote it!

Calvin: Another thing to remember about popular culture is that today's tv-reared audience is hip and sophisticated. This stuff doesn't affect us. We can separate fact from fiction. We understand satire and irony. We're detached and jaded viewers who aren't influenced by what we watch.

Hobbes: I think I hear advertisers laughing.

Calvin: Hold on, I need to inflate my basketball shoes.

The opening from Weeds. This show is way too inappropriate for me, but the opening is so great. The link doesn't go to anything bad, though.

Malvina Reynolds - Little Boxes
Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And it goes on, my mom had this on a record (like, the vinyl kind) and would play it when I was little.

And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

Lolcats!
