I guess I haven't had much to say lately. I got my hair cut-somewhere between two and three inches. I feel so much better without that weird layer left over from when it was short. Shannon and I painted my parents' family room. It's just lovely now. Or something. I've been down for a while now, feeling sad and kind of restless, like I should be doing something (not painting).
So Shannon and I are looking at apartments, because I would save so much money if I lived with her and also because it wuld be fun and she spends a lot of time at my apartment anyway. We lived together before and while it didn't end well, we decided our only problems were...extraneous. And we don't have those problems anymore, so we'll be fine. The first place we looked at was so awesomely funky. It was huge and it had a yard, but it was paneled. All but the bedrooms and bathroom. And it had one of those dungeon things and a floor unit for heat and three window units for air. So, not practical and also disturbing with all the paneling. But way cheap and really big for a rental house. Yesterday we saw this apartment that was only $350 a month and it really had two bedrooms, but it was...weird. Like it was an attic apartment so all the ceilings sloped and made it seem very small. And then we looked at one that had two bedrooms, but you had to go through one bedroom to get to the other one. That seemed less than ideal. But it had this awesome breakfast nook that was all windows. It was so cool. And there was a fabulous chandelier thing that had Mason jars over the bulbs. It might sound strnage but I really liked it. We tried to figure out if we could live with one of us sleeping in the living room and the other in the back bedroom and using the middle bedroom as a living room. But I don't know. Lest you think I am way too picky, the last two were leaning towards trashy. So we called a ton of places that had signs out front and hopefully someone will call us today and let us come look. We found one place that we both completely loved, but it was $750 a month. That would be the same as what I pay now. But it was an awesome house that had just been renovated. The bathroom and kitchen were awesome, but it had three bedrooms, and since we don't know anyone else we like enough to live with, it would be too much. More on the search later, I'm sure.

You could look for that creepy house on Center street Rachel and I used to live in. Oh wait, maybe it got torn down. No surprise. For $300 a month we got 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 8,000 cave crickets, a saggy living room floor, and a huge dragon painted on the wall.
It totally got torn down. I think it's a parking lot now. I would only want a dragon painted on the wall if it were a wall made of paneling. That would be so disturbin.
The wall was paneling painted white. You would have loved it. Also the hole in the bedroom wall in our bedroom made everyone feel right at home. And he is right about the cave crickets. I used to close them in a room until he got home. They scared me. They can jump WAY too far in a single bound. And yes, I just typed single bound.
Oh, also the attic apartment with the sloping ceilings had six separate rooms and only one window. Think on the number of lamps we would need for a minute.
Dude, I wish there were two-bedroom places here for $350 bucks. We pay way more than that for our tiny one-bedroom.
We paid over $800 for our 3 bedroom dragonless apt.
