I occasionally find things that suggest I’m irresponsible with my money.

I like you.

I like that you appreciate presentation. 

I think that we would get along.   I think that you would enjoy my calligraphy, my dancing...  my love for art.  I think, that by trying to get the right lighting, that you are also artists. 

Turning 34 was a bit difficult for me.   

I realized that my years of “the future is so unknown.  What’s going to happen?  Everything is so unpredictable” are lessening.  

Well, that’s unfortunate

I want my boyfriend to be a different person from who he is

Today has been an interesting day.

I had an accepted offer on a court ordered sale.   The contract was drawn up 1.5 months ago.  Today was the court date.  

I caused quite a frenzy because my accepted offer was about $80k off the original asking price and what the unit is probably worth.  I say “probably” because no one has actually seen it.  The tenant who is currently renting refuses to let the seller’s agent show it.  Even the guy who won the bid (a friend from highschool actually) has never seen it.  

So, for all we know, all the appliances could have already been removed.  It’s a court ordered sale... so it’s subject to no conditions and you kind of just get it “as is.”

Also, after analyzing the floorplan, we came to the conclusion that it’s really more of a bachelor suite than a 1 bedroom plus den. 

So, when the seller’s agent asked me if I wanted to put in a revised offer today, I politely declined.  Three times.  And then the judge asked me if I understood that I was unlikely to get the place.  I said I did.  I was mostly just curious to see how it all played out... that’s why I was there.

The first sealed bid the judge read out was already way over mine.  $570k.  The second sealed bid was for $569k.  The Korean woman who had put in the first bid smirked.  Milt and I looked at each other.  Like, why would you go $1k lower and not $1k higher...  you’d have to be a complete dumbass...  anyway.  I laughed out loud. 

Randy got it for $603k.   $30k over the next highest bid.  And, in my opinion, $25k too much.

There are other comparable units in that building selling for about $620k.   I’m sure that if he had offered $610k for any of those places, they would have entertained his offer and at least allowed him to VIEW the space.  He pretty much paid retail for a place he hasn’t even seen.

Birthdays are always a week-long event for me because it’s impossible to see everyone in one day.  My social circles are too spread out and like.. my dance friends just want to talk about dance.  My music friends just want to talk about music.  My ambulance friends are almost all ACP/CCP/Specialists now.  The ones who are in school just want to talk about school and there’s always plenty of work stuff to talk about because the service includes 3000 people and everyone seems to know each other.     It would be different if all my friends are well-rounded individuals buuut they’re not.

I actually had a big May babies birthday celebration with dance peeps last week.  Sheena’s birthday is earlier this month.  Jeet’s bday is a few days after mine.   Lots of May babies.  

New hair!

I’ve been low-key dating someone and I’m not ready to talk about it.   

I dropped all my side baes for him and the exes keep checking up on my relationship status.  

Yes, I’m still dating him.  No, I’m not 100% sure about him.  No, my parents don’t know.  We’re still figuring us out, it’s way too soon to involve other people.  WAY TOO SOON.

I’m dating him because he’s great.  And we’ve agreed to just take it day by day.  I’m keeping quiet about it because I want to take my losses privately if we don’t work out.  

I’m still taking photos and capturing our happy moments, but just not posting them anywhere.  

I wish our phones were still taped.
