Doing Adult Shit
Ugh, I'm an adult.
Okay, so me and Joe went out and looked at the condo.
It's pretty nice actually. Bigger then we thought.
Our realtor is cute.
I told her that we only really need a place with one bedroom, since it's only us, but since I wanted the extra space to put my workshop in, that we would wanna check out a two bedroom place also.
Turns out, the one bedroom condo, has a den?
Which is awesome. Keeps the price low and I get my extra space.
SO MANY CLOSETS
omg
I think she was weirded out, because she would walk into a room, show us around, and we would just kinda nod and stuff.
We didn't ask very many questions, we just liked everything she showed us.
I told her it was our first time buying, so we had no fucking idea what to even ask her about.
We love the place.
Joe is like, super ecstatic about it.
It's near everything.
The grocery store is like.. a ten minute walk away.
My job is basically right across the street.
I don't gotta worry about getting a car any time soon.
Joe still has a 45 minute drive to work, but that's nothing major.
We're both real excited.
Trying not to get our hopes up though.
Shit always happens.
Things have been going really great so far, so we're both kinda waiting to get kicked in the ass.
This would probably be it.
As far as money goes, we're okay.
Not quite where we had originally planned to be, with buffer money and all, but Joe is working all the overtime to make up for it.
Lucky bastard. he can just show up at work whenever he wants and get paid.
I get shit hours and shit pay.
I think I average about 150 bucks a week...
...yeah.
So we decided that Joe's money will be for house bills.
My money will be for little shit, like groceries or whatever nonsense we need around the house.
We found out that we'll be saving a pretty good portion of money because we don't really need a lot of stuff.
We don't watch TV... so we won't need cable or anything.
We both have cell phones, so we don't need a land line.
And we hardly eat anyway, so food isn't a big issue.
I think the only thing we'll have bills for will be the internet... we have netflix which will pretty much provide as our television.
This adult stuff isn't really as hard as people make it seem.
I'm nervous though.
I gotta call the mortgage guy back tomorrow and see if we can get approved or whatever.
Our realtor said that since we don't have any kind of debt, that we shouldn't have a problem.
Neither of us have a credit card though, so I didn't think we had any credit.
But Joe has been paying off car stuff and his student loans, so that apparently counts.
And I'm basically a hermit, so I buy everything online. From what I've heard, when your card is processed online, it's pretty much treated like a credit... but a credit that gets paid off immediately.
That's good. It's not a whole lot of credit, but it's a little bit of something, which is better then nothing.
Like I said... not getting my hopes up.
Joe's mom bought us some kitchen stuff.
Couple plates and bowls and things.
All black and grey. lol
I've already started to plan on decorating... I'm such a girl. omg
Also, if everything goes right, I was thinking of having a Thanksgiving dinner at our new place.
I'll try and cook or something. I dunno.
Fuck Christmas though... just... no. I hate Christmas.
Oh! Maybe even have the annual Halloween party? We haven't had one of those in.. I think.. 2 years?
It's been a year at least.
I dunno.
I'm just real excited.
It's just a cute place.
And it's the perfect size for what we need.
We don't take up much room and it's not like we're going to have kids or anything running around.
I just hope we get approved.
I don't think we'll have a problem though... cause.. I've seen some scumbags get places of their own and... I mean, c'mon... if they can get approved for their own place... then we definitely can.
The only buzzkill is that we won't be doing cons for probably a year.
So we'll have PA Ren Faire and then NYCC will be our last hurrah.
We just wanna build up the buffer money before we get too involved with anything unnecessary.
I'm gonna get so depressed... I can see it now. Cons are really the only thing I have to look forward to.
Maybe I can start having people over and stuff, have little mini-cons or something.
We'll be going to Otakon though, for sure. So that's something.
I'll update more once I find out for sure what's going on.
Fingers crossed~
