To make matters worse I just heard:
Travis, take that shot then don't do anything else for an hour or else you might puke!
I have half a mind to put on my pants (it's too damn hot) and head to the movies as I call the cops to report under aged drinking.
I tried looking at a new apartment today. I want to live in chckpotpie's complex. I miss her being nearby. As an added bonus one of my coworkers lives right around the corner as well. But there wasn't there anyone at the leasing desk. I really really really have to move the fuck out of here. I need a clean start and a break from these assholes. Yeah, there I said it. They're assholes. When they aren't blaming each other for the dishes crusted in days' old food in the sink or the spills on the carpet or the disgustingness that is their bathroom, they're not paying their rent or utility bills on time or being drunk with their friends (who all seem to be about 15 or 16, interesting, nes pais?).
The problem with moving out is my mother has been nagging about what to do with my brother. Doesn't she mean my "son?" I mean seriously I've been coddling that boy almost as long as he's lived here.
She says,
How is he going to find a new place to live? We can't go down there and look at a place. What if we put him in a studio? Would that be cheaper?
So somehow when I was 22 I was capable of finding this apartment on my own (OK chckpotpie and her bitchy friend found it but whatevs), I was able to afford it on my own except when I was in school, I bought all of my own furniture, paid for my groceries and utilities, chipped in for the deposit, and yet the idiot boy cannot handle these things himself?! Might be high time that boy move back home. I don't care if it's boring. I don't care if he doesn't want to be there. Take away the money. Take away the car. Take away the furniture (which by the way I bought for him). Take away everything and if he lives on the streets, oh well. Guess he'll learn quick like won't he?
I'm so over it. I cannot stand the thought of him ruining any more of my things, abusing my cat (he fucking CUT holes out of his fur and set his tail ON FIRE!), bitching about my friends, etc. I can't stand the thought of having to worry about his health (he's been having stomach issues for months and there's been blood involved but hell he continues to drink despite doctor's order to stop and let himself heal). I want my own children god damn it. I didn't want to inherit an 18-year-old.
My mother decided to prey upon my dreams of owning a home by saying, "Dad was considering going in on it with you but you'd have to let your brother live with you." I want a house to call my own but lets look at this realistically:
Taylor will fucking destroy the place and I'll never be able to resell it.
I don't know how much longer I'll want to live in SoCal. The heat is seriously making me consider moving to SF. How deliciously cool that would be.
There is NOTHING in our price range. I know, I've been looking for almost two weeks. Even if Dad could chip in another 200K there is nothing but senior complexes, mobile homes, or major fixer uppers in ghetto ass areas.
I'd rather purchase a car and laptop as both of my current models are slowly dying.
I'm just feeling too stagnated for my own damn good. If my home wasn't party central and so filthy that the health department should shut it down maybe I'd be happier.
In good news I did purchase some athletic clothing today. I tried REI first. $55 for a pair of ugly ass, weird material pants (although there was extra cushioning in the butt). I skipped over to Kohls and found a couple of sports bras and sport shorts then headed to see if there was an athletic area. Sure was! With 50 percent off most of the items! I got a pair of legging in grey/teal with a matching tank and a pair of shorts in black/red with a matching top. Total out the door: $86 and some change. Hell fucking yeah.
I'm excited to wear this stuff tomorrow when I meet up with my friend Kitty. He broke up with his girlfriend of four years a couple weeks back. Poor thing. She was his first everything and even though he says he's not taking it hard, I'm sure he's just putting on a brave front. I liked her, she deferred to me but she was making him unhappy for a long time (since before I got Squee).
I'm also thinking of baking something neat for the barbecue tomorrow. I just hope it'll be OK waiting in the car while I ride with Kitty. We'll see. Yeah I could put it in the fridge but I think it'd be happier in the heat.
OK I'm going to brave the idiots for a bowl of cereal. I'm shaking from the heat and lack of food (I haven't been eating much lately).
Here's to bigger and better things!
You know you have a friend who has the inside track to every real estate listing in So. Cal, right (me!). This is a buyer's market, and if not that, there's leases and short sales to be had by the hundreds. I'm here to help if you want.
I found two 1br condos in Anaheim for less than $100K. Lots. The bank owned ones ask for 2% down, and you can get them to pay your closing costs, saving you several thousand.
This nice one in Tustin 2br, 2 ba 1044 sqft on level 2: $99K...not senior housing. There were 51 other listings as well.
most of the Anahiem ones were rough neighborhoods, and being a single girl, those are not very secure, as well as having poor resale value.
PM me and tell me what your budget is, so I can check the rentals for you.
