our house, in the middle of our street

the house next door to sister #2 is up for sale. stinky, the brother-in-law, might take a new job in eden prairie. sister #4 said she’d love to live in hutch and the three of us could carpool.

i might buy a house. I MIGHT BUY A HOUSE.

i am freaking out already. i haven’t even looked at it and my commitmentphobia is kicking in big time. like panic-attacks over my fear of a commitment.

a house is a huge commitment. i think if you own a house it officially makes you a grown up.

aye carumba!

Well, yes a house is a huge committment. But, I have heard a rumour… and it might be just that… but I think in some countries; you can actually _sell_ houses. Yup…in some places you can actually put a for sell sign in your yard and let people come in to look at it. But, then again.. it might all just be a fairy tale.

Things I Want to Tell You

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]
