Life as a Dada Concept
Happy Tuesday. I just realized it’s Tuesday. I had a dream I was late to work and realized that I don’t have work. my goodness. Diggin this whole vacation thing… stayed up to watch InuYasha and I’ve convinced (not that they don’t like it) the parents to go see LOTR III this morning. Later I’m helping my mom make a lamb roast (MINT JELLY MINT JELLY) and my step dada concept will have a peanut butter and jelly cuz that’s how he rolls.
Generally, I’m in slo mo. Lots of time to plan my day and a half back in DC. I can envision the cuboards that are as of yet unpacked. I’m really going to miss my TV for a while. ToneBone’s roomate had his follow up interview yesterday and let’s all hope Stu gets the job and moves to Rhode Island and I can take over his part of the lease for a while. If not, it’s just that much sooner that I find my “own” place. I would love to have an awesome roomate and pay half a rent, but there’s only about two people in the world (girl a, girl b) I could stand to live with, and they live with boys. Way to like, fall in love and stuff, ladies ;].
Now, I’ve sworn to never live with a guy again until I was mental enough to get married again but that whole dual (heheh i almost wrote DUEL lol) income lifestyle is looking mighty nice. Can I live with a person and still have quality of life? Can I resist the urge to throw a pot, well aimed, through 3 rooms when a roomate is dumb enough to come whine to me while i’m in the kitchen? *sigh* Better to live alone than with someone who sucks, right? Perhaps I will find an awesome girl or boy I can live with and be friends or casual aquaintances.
I think I’m starting to enjoy life more when it’s full of a lot of unknowns. It feels like a reminder, it feels like gambling. It feels like trust. I am starting to become most calm when things get crazy. A hum inside with the outside quiet. It’s good. It feels good.
Eek, I have to go shower. love and bunnies. OOH! I got a new camera yesterday!!!! Joyous!
I dug this up because seeing all that Elf hair in Lord of the Rings made me miss the hair I used to have. This is about 4 or 5 entire lives ago. So long it goes out of the frame. Nuts, I tell you. Nuts. I don’t even think this looks like me. Who is this girl?
Oh. Well what I really meant to write about here is Sam. Sam is my favorite character. He’s not a beautiful one. He doesn’t do sexy battle scenes. He is taken for granted, mocked and rejected. He’s a reliable and true friend who looks out for his best buddy. I love Sam. Watching this movie, I thought to myself, if only everyone were lucky enough to have a Sam. That’s my Christmas and New Years wish for all of us. Constant and faithful friends.
looking for some of Brendan Hall’s beautiful code, I found this.
Ah, I’m considering living by myself come this March. What do you think of it?
I’ve only ever lived with other people - parents, siblings, psycho roommates, normal roommates, and barely roommates. Through all those folks I’ve learned to only live with people you can live with. Good roommates are a God-send. Who knows, the people you live with when you take the persons place could really rock [or not].
Mia, you’re very intuitive you’ll make the right choice.
I’ve lived by myself the past 2 years and have loved it. I was terrified that I wouldn’t like it at first---but there’s so much bullshit you don’t have to deal with livin’ on your own. Good luck, babe. It’s not as bad as you think.
six years ago, when I moved into dc, it was the first time I’d ever lived by myself (I’d had siblings, perfect strangers, good friends, girlfriends, you name it).
I was a little worried at the time that I’d turn all super-reclusvie, but it turns out I kinda groove on it.
in the same way you have to learn to live with others, you also have to learn to live by yourself if you’re not accustomed to it.
I think everyone should do it for at least a little while.
Whooo! Mia’s getting excited about stuff. At last, her body has given up the fight in resisting change.
The rest of your life is on the phone. It wants to know when you two can get together.
Enjoy it, baby.
heheheh aww i go to a movie and you all are being fabulous while i’m gone!!!! *group hug XOXOXO*
indeed, i’ve lived alone for 3 glorious years and have loved it. i’m never lonely. it’s awesome. just not cheap! hehehe
it’s true girl27!! there’s no resistance left, i’ve given over.
Elle - I think you’ll love living by yourself if you do go ahead and do it.
As a fellow out of work NG employee, I think I must agree with you regarding the unknowns in life. There is something about feeling like you’ve got a blank canvas to work with and it’s all up to you. I’ll also tell you that when I was around the Natty G area on Monday, I realized how much I DID NOT miss it! :)
noice!!! excellent, my dear dawner. i hope you have a lovely chrismas.
in every blank canvas there is the potential for art.
heh...the picture kinda doesn’t look like you.
it’s like you have a younger sister or something.
...she’s still cute, though.
:)
hey - lay off my little sister! ;]
yeah, i don’t recognize myself at all. my mom looked over my shoulder and said, “who’s that?”
Woah! That TOTALLY doesn’t look like you, but your Mennonite cousin or something. :) I love your hair now, I must say, but you look super cute then, too. :)
Awesome! Holy shit! I don’t believe it’s really you? Release that girl from the basement now. She’s been hidden long enough, bring out the other sister.
