Stuff

Currently Listening To: Cold As Ice - Scooter

So I've been thinking, and I've made the decision to move my journal over to Livejournal. I use that account more anyway. (mostly for deviantartsnarking, ^^; ) So I'll still be blogging, but just on livejournal.

Moving and stuff ^_^

Currently Listening To: Under Pressure - Queen

So yesterday Tim told us he's moving out in May. Surprised the hell outta me, but in a good way.

Chris and I had been talking about moving, but were unsure of when it was going to happen because we owe Tim a fair chunk of cash. He didn't think it was right to move out before we had paid him off. But now Tim is moving out, so we can get a place of our own

We've already got a few options, the foremost being the apartment complex that Savvy and David live at, and one or two others in case that plan falls through. I just hope we can barter to get a ground floor apartment, because my dog Joxer is old, and is getting to the point where three flights of stairs would hurt him. The rent there is fairly cheap. It's about $100 more than what we're paying right now, but if we were to move into an apartment, we wouldn't have to worry about paying things like water, sewer and garbage. Our electricity bill would be nearly quartered. Chris makes roughly $600 a paycheck, which comes out to about $1,200 a month. We can live off of that. Not well, mind you, but living is the important part.

We're looking at places in the valley, which is closer to where Chris is working, so driving to work wouldn't he a half hour excursion every morning. Not to mention that there are probably more job opportunities for me out in the valley, just in the vicinity where we plan on living.

I was thinking about it, and maybe I'll have an easier time handling a job when I have a place to come how to that's not populated with other people? I'll have a place to crawl into and hide. Speaking of which, Tim recommended Spokane Mental Health to me, to go get my head checked out. The first visit is free, so that's promising. If I could get counseling, and get something that documents my being terrified of strangers, I think getting a job would be a lot easier. I'd have something documentable, employers wouldn't have to just take my word that there's something wrong with me. I think it'd give me a boost of confidence, and not only that, but I'd be getting over what's wrong with me.

Kirai Sneaky Desu!

Currently Listening To: Your Dream - DJ Liquid Blue

Sneaky shit there, Batman. These people fully expect to be shot down. But if they are shot down, that means that the ruling that says it's unconsitutional for gays to be married on the basis of reproduction is bullshit. Read for yourselves. You'll get a good laugh out of it.

Take that, conservative windbags.

Alarmist Paranoid BULLSHIT.

Currently Listening To: Transylvanian Horses - Alan Sylvestri, Van Helsing Soundtrack

I normally don't agree with Mike on many things, but this is one of the things that I do.

This entire ATHF fiasco is complete and utter bullshit. The Boston City Police should just admit they made a fucking mistake. 9 other cities didn't make this mistake. Why? Because they KNEW IT WAS HARMLESS. THEY DID RESEARCH. THEY DIDN'T JUST PUSH THE PANIC BUTTON AND SCRAMBLE THE BOMB SQUAD. Fucking A.


I'm also sick of this "Post 9/11 World" bullshit people throw around to justify their rampant paranoia. Bad shit happened. It was horrible. But we adjust and go about our lives, we don't jump at our own fucking shadows and live our lives in a constant state of fear.

I mean, Jesus H., this is what those terrorist assholes want. They want to instill fear. And we're showing them that they accomplished just that. If we're supposed to be rising above this bullshit, shouldn't we be actually attempting that, instead of playing to the ideas of some paranoid twits who'd rather live their lives barred up in their own houses?

I'm actually ashamed to be associated in any way with this sort of fucking Red Scare bullshit paranoia.

Being alert is one thing. Being alarmist is another.
