Well, hurm. I am not loving it much right now. We are, with two other people, trying to find a rental home to live in and, since I am jobless, I am the one dealing with the realtors. And they are being jerks. Also, one of the other people is about to have his lease run out and we've offered to let him stay here rent-free. Before he sees the place, however, it has to be cleaned and fixed up quite a lot. I don't really know what to do with most of the stuff in the house but, because I do not have a job, I am basically going to be cleaning it by myself. The weather just cooled down a bit and there's a really pretty blue sky, but I am inside dealing with realtors and a messy house and I'm kind of bummed out. :(

On the other hand!

The weather is pretty which is better than bleh weather, even if I only see it through windows.
A few days ago I saw my dream home (unfortunately, it's already taken) and the area in which said dream home is situated convinced me that suburban Maryland actually is full of beauty if you look.
There are lots of Trader Joe's around here, and I like Trader Joe's a lot (green chile tamales!).
There is yummy Burmese food on the east coast.
I have lots of cats to keep me company and they are all goofballs.
I tried mead last night and it was delicious! Tastes like honey, mm mm good.
Sean. :D

I miss Urbana a lot because it is wonderful and I feel so comfortable there. I don't think I would be happy to live in a crowded, suburban area like this for the rest of my life, but there are some advantages and I'm trying to enjoy them while I'm here. Also, it is a New Life Experience!
