house notes // 2005-08-06

my method of coping with sleeping alone in this big house the first night c went away was to get myself drunk, read harry potter, and then sleep with all the lights on and the david sedaris box set playing from my ibook all night. needless to say, i woke with a massive headache.

and speaking of harry potter, not one, but two people somehow spoiled the book for me in one day. the first people felt really bad about it, but the second time it happened the woman just laughed. and my heart was crushed and i felt like crying. ugh.

we finally found the camera, but now that i've taken some pictures of the house, i can't find the camera cable. but really, i'm too lazy to actually try very hard.

on the last day of moving out of the apartment, i was bitching about all the crap we have and how at this point i'd just much prefer living in a small bungalow with nothing more than a bed and some books. and c said, "you're telling me you'd rather have that over a big house filled with a bunch of crap and a cardboard box in the basement with a set of kokopelli coasters in it?"

so yeah, we're now sleeping in the back sunroom as we're waiting to fix up the upstairs before we move our stuff up there. and the house is still filled with boxes. and the neighbors are all insanely friendly, but actually in a good and sweet kind of way. every morning when i'm out there watering the plants (plants we don't actually like and will probably end up ripping out eventually) i meet someone new.
