i am sleeping in my new place now, so my entries will be few and far between for the next little bit until i get internet access.

there is snow. the world is white. big soft flakes in my hair, on my shoulders. cold red nose, big grin.

sleeping alone is no fun. cold and lonely. builds character, i'm sure. but no warm body beside...

I think any transition can cause a thoughtful soul like you to reflect, doing this alone perhaps brings on melancholy... don't mistake this as sadness, consider it a gentle reminder that you're alive and well.

Enjoy building your new nest.

i don't understand how traffic cops can do their jobs. coercive, intimidating motherfuckers, stealing my money. and if you're a traffic policeman somewhere out there in sg land, fuck you. i loathe you. i don't want you to die, but i want to bite a big hole in your arm and spit out a big chunk of your skin. the traffic system is by its...

driving home tonight, watching. lean forward and press my nose into the steering wheel, and suddenly the windshield is the world, and i am hurtling towards it. without a frame, the night is so much closer. the moon is huge and orange, and looks like it just woke up - bleary and blurred. the steering wheel is cold on my nose and i realize that...

You write the bestest things. I do that windshield thing....normally when tired late at night. I like it until I forget I'm actually driving and start thinking I'm like...watchign a boring movie of someone driving.
Then I'm all like..."Oh wait!! It's me driving!!" **Sweeeerve**

Though I imagine you feel pretty awsome right now as it is. wink
Take care lady!

day off.. nothing much to do. i told the apartment girl that i didn't want to rent from her. my application came back ok, but i was tired of stressing about when she would return my phone calls and whether or not what she told me would be correct. it's too bad, because it was a nice little place, but i can find somewhere else...

i'm just not cut out to do anything stressful. shaky arms. blurred vision. echoes of my heartbeats vibrate through my body, like opening a door without any grease on the hinges that doesn't squeak quite yet. just breathe deeply and it will go away - but it doesn't. stupid housing stuff. this is all from calling my possible new landlord to ask about the status...

I understand where you're coming from. If you're always waiting for something new to come along, you feel like you're floating and nothing is permanent. It's hard to make decisions that way because you think "Hey, I might want to do something different tommorrow, so why make anything permanent?"

I don't have any answers, but I feel like you do. So, don't give up, and if it helps any, lots of us feel like you do.

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.....

At some point just about everything seems that way: try, try, try -- and then give it up and let the universe, or God, or luck take over. Writing's even this way for me. I get to a certain point and close my eyes, keep going.

You'll get a weary-head-resting place, I'm sure.

Mei, if you are considering comming to Australia, skip Perth, Western Australia. It's where I live. It's a bit of a drag. It's perfect for old folk to retire, but useless if you want a career. I had my big break about 6 years ago, but now have the urge to move on to bigger and better things and that means moving to either the eastern states (Sydney, Melbourne, etc) or overseas. I'll post some Perth pics later this week to give you an idea, kay?

Love, love

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. biggrin
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... biggrin
I wish you the very best of luck.

Big hug and take care. :Love:

PS I've added you as a friend.

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.

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...
