um, what?

@bells: that mentality is actually what kept me from dorming at college. that, and the sky-high rent. it was $18 grand for a dorm at my school (i think that was for a single, but still, pretty sure doubles were about $12-14 ;^; ). and sharing a bathroom, *shudders*

also when playing with foreigners it's never a good idea to use bondage gear
(thankfully, when i met my swiss cousins all we did was play cards -w-; )

@aurora: holy shit adulthood. i forgot about that.
congrats, bro. -w-

@pent: i lol'd. and that's from B Gata H Kei. -w-;


FINALLY finished putting my music into my itunes......tomorrow i'll start working it into a playlist. also, picked up a small summer job from my friend's mother; i have to go over to their house once a day on weekdays and let the dog out to pee. seems she's gotten too old to hold it, and for $10 a day, i can do that. :3

I think you're the only OSCer who's living on their own, Aurora.

ETA: Excepting Nej. ^^;

At the moment my income is supporting my fiance and I in a little apartment downtown. Its not easy, wouldn't be possible at all if my boss wasn't generous enough to pay me almost twice the minimum wage.

Money is always tight though. I can only spend a little bit each month because it gets eaten up so quickly.

i dont even know anymore

i really fear i will turn to substance abuse if the gf decides to leave me due to qualities she has found in other women that i do not have

Summer vacation is over and school is starting.

Remember: This is late for central Indiana standards.

@Cockle: I wish I could offer advice that would help :[

@Duko: Still kinda wowed by how early you start school there ^^;;

So, since I don't have work until 5PM tonight, I decided to sleep in late this morning. Felt so nice to not have to rush around like I did yesterday...even if I need to run to the store to get laundry detergent so I can have something clean to wear to work -___-;

@Kari: 18 grand for a dorm? Holy shit.

@Cockle: has she threatened to leave you or anything like that?

I don't know the exact circumstances but I can say from personal experience that a person not having the exact qualities one finds (or once found) attractive doesn't necessarily doom, or even harm a relationship.

[Nichi]

My parents paid 18 grand for a house*, which they now own; the idea of a dorm costing that much is insane .___.;
*In 1987, when the house was built and they signed the papers

So, had some chickens for lunch :3

[stewartsage]

I'd like to point out that if it weren't for the fact that there is no housing where I work, I too would be in my own place still.

[Chocofreak13]

fair enough. i forget how many people here live on their own.

@pent, bells: and that was per semester, i think. so that'd be $36k/year for 4 years. : D
@cockle: i'm......confused. what the fuck is happening here? she's seeing her exes in you?
also, don't even threaten that, i've seen plenty of lives ruined by drugs, man. don't let yourself get there. ><;


finally getting to put all my music back into a playlist. hope to have it done by tonight or midday tomorrow. also have taken a small summer job with my friend Mel's family looking after their dog. Brownie is 13 now (she seriously doesn't seem like it with her puppy-like demeanor) and is having trouble holding her bladder all day, so they've hired me at a rate of $10/day on weekdays to go over and let her out. will take me about 20 minutes max and cost less than a gallon of gas per trip, so this is pretty damn nice.

[Cockleshell]

Don't get me started with drug abuse. I had a serious cocaine and speed addiction when I was 14-16 and I barely made it out alive. She's finding my lack of emotion (which I can't help) to be offputting and I'm really at a loss.

18... thousand? For a house? That's insanely cheap. Even the cheapest houses here are well past 100k. And you need to drive 2-3 hours away from the city into the desert to even approach those prices. Might as well go to Arizona or Nevada.

I think prices at USC were about... 14-16k for a double dorm or apartment. So yeah, 18k/yr for a dorm sounds about right if it's a single.

I used to live alone in my apartment in San Diego, but am living with parents again. I have enough cash to last for a while for my own place, but it's just too expensive here.
btw, our family house, sitting on 1600 sq ft lot, 3bed, 2 bath, built in the 60s, costs over half a million. (Yay California cost of living) This old house would likely be under 100k in Texas or something.

[Odin Yggdrasil]

It takes ~30k to purchase a run down wreck here, though someone who is savvy with home repairs could easily clean it up and resell it for 75k or more.

I don't remember how much my dorm room cost, but I do remember it being tiny and expensive.

[Nichi]

@Sleepy: Indeed; given that my parents are the first owner of this house. It's nothing too fancy or elaborate, and there are some crap qualities about it (Why they put wood paneling in the bathrooms, especially close to the tub, I'll never understand), but it's decent enough -w-

[winduko]

The house I live in has carpeting in the bathrooms.

[Chocofreak13]

@kodomo: WHY.
@sleepy, odin, pent: this house, 3 bedroom, 1 bath, cost around 125, 130k when my parents bought it in 87'. it is cramped, drafty and the floors are made of particle board. it was built as part of a summer camp/retreat in the 20's. my room was part of an addition put on in the 60's. with all the yard work and interiour painting they've done, they could probably get about 175k out of it if they tried, especially given the location and the town we're in. but it doesn't help that we're in a crackerbox down the street from the mcmansions on Bramley Hill (a street that has its own goddamn carved wooden sign bigger than some school signs).

@cockle: holy shit man, i never expected that shit outta you. like, you're the last person i'd expect to be involved in that shit. don't mean to pry, but why? and did your parents know? .__.;
