mortgage and a car crash [living]

today i made my first mortgage payment. 20 years ago i attended my first concert. you could say that i've come a long way. oh yeah, and some old geezer hit my car today as well. it really sucks. but my car wasn't damaged much. it's just a small dent. but my dog was in the car with me and he can't be a witness. i wonder about the guy who hit me. i kinda felt like he was trying to get out of it. also, his insurance card was expired but he assured me he has current insurance. now i have to go through the hassle of insurance companies to get my car fixed, lovely!

jury duty [living]

i had jury duty today. it's the first time i've ever had to report for duty. luckily, i didn't get selected. i didn't even get interviewed. perhaps that will be the next time i have to serve. there were 2 computers in the juror waiting room. so besides catching up on my reading, i also did a little facebook gaming.

officially a homeowner [living]

it's official, the paperwork has closed so the place is mine! i am now officially a homeowner. this wouldn't have been at all possible without the help of my mom, so thank you. i still have to live by some housing association rules but now i can do what i want with my own place. this is just a starter place. there are some things that i'd rather have with a place. i guess that will be for my next move. perhaps in a couple years when the economy is better? maybe...

moving to a house, my house [living]

today was the big day. my relatives came out and helped me move out of my apartment. as of today, i'm in my own condo. not officially mine yet but it's just a matter of days. i was really surprised that my relatives brought my dog over. i don't think he should be here while we move but what can i do. i thought i would pick him up after we moved everything. i've got my place and my dog. one of my cousins is going to move in with m. i have to start looking or another roommate to help with the bills. i have to put everything away, (find a place or things!). i have to get settled in and buy a bunch of stuff. i have to train the dog. so much work to be done!

no longer single [living]

the category for this entry should be "loving". last night olive told me that she loved me. i was so surprised. i feel like saying the same but i'm so reserved. i can't allow myself to feel for someone. i just felt or assumed certain things to the point where i didn't think she was that into me. i had started to let all the little things of how we are different build up and think that we shouldn't date. i thought she wasn't that into relationships. in fact, she had just gone off to her friends on why people shouldn't get married and then i went upstairs to sleep because i was so tired. so i was really surprised when i laid down and she was tucking me in, if you wanna call it that, that she said those magic words. surprised, but in a good way, and it felt so nice to hear her say those words. it's like those words were the magic that broke the chains off my heart and allowed me to start to really feel for her.

this morning, she told me about how she recently went to the club that we often go to and the bartender asked her where her girlfriend is. i think people usually assume that of us and we have to say we're just dating, not girlfriends. but this time, my response to the tale was that maybe we already are girlfriends. and that's how today i am officially no longer single. olive is my girlfriend and i'm happy. *joy* i'm surprised it took this long because as we've been dating i've been feeling special things for her and have felt like saying, so are we together now? like when can i update my facebook profile, hahahahhaa. and now i can!

cuddles gets a temporary home [domesticating]

from my flickr collection
cuddles in his santa outfit

i picked up cuddles from olive today and did a little pet shopping. i got him a cat bed (because he's so small) on sale, some food and toys, a leash and collar, a name tag, and a santa outfit. i took him over to a relative's house because they will puppysit him until i move to my new place. i can have pets at my current place but i'm just not home enough. i'm gone too long for work and he's not housebroken. it's an apartment so he doesn't have a way to go outside. i'm sorry but i just can't deal with coming home to piss and crap all over my house and it's too sad for him to be alone so he's off to my relatives who are home and have 3 dogs already. he'll be much happier there. plus, it's just temporary.
