posting to warm my fingers
I just got back home, and even the, what, 45 seconds it takes to get from my car to my apartment door my hands have already lost freak'n feeling. For as much as I want snow, and trust me when I say I'm all gushy faggy over a good snow, the associated frostbite-inducing cold weather gets to me every time. Gotta have the good with the bad, I suppose.
Well, I got my MySpace set up, got some non-livejournal friends to keep track of which is really nice. It's good to keep tabs on some people, since you never really know when you need to talk to that one person your worked with 2 years ago about something irrelevant. You can't put a price tag on that.
Hey LJ, I've been meaning to tell you this, but I think I've got a goal, and not one that I'll be putting to the side and forget about. I'm 23, soon to pass that comfortable barrier over to (OH GOD DON'T SAY IT) 24. It's about time I do something to ground myself. I'm thinking, by 2009, I'm gonna have a house. Nothing too fancy, mind you, but an honest to goodness house of my own. If I decide, which I may have to if this works out the way it should, to stay at GEICO and retain another year's worth of salary increases and Profit Sharing, by 2009 I will have accrued a handsome figure, and would have already paid off my furniture which will, of course, be following me. If I live a life of conservation this year and control my spending to essentials, of course treating myself when emotionally necessary, I think this would be totally do-able.
Now, the questions ARE..
Where do I look? Am I going to do it alone? Can I afford it once I get it? Would I be able to maintain it? what about the dungeon room? Would I have pets?
I'm excited. Having a place of my own to do what I see fit is something I really feel good about, and it's helping my focus past some other ugly parts of my life right now. Motivation. Hua!!!
