Holiday Shipping

I didn't actually do any holiday related shopping this year expect for my one friend I got a gift for before i lost my job. Everyone else is getting cookies and cakes made by me. So yesterday, I baked all day long (pun intended stoners!). We are sending packages of baked goods to H's mom;s fam, H's dad's fam, H's grandparents and my off again on again "dad", Walt. Walt is also getting some CD's of my college radio broadcasts since he was unable to attend any thing that took place in my life between the ages of 1 and 33 years. You can blame The Monster for that, though...

He's not looking, but Happy 30th Birthday to H !!!

Anywhoo, all that will get mailed out today, by H, and on his birthday. I had all sorts of cool shit I wanted to do for H's 30th birthday. In movie talk after all, it is his "Carosel Day". But of course because I am fundless, he is getting the Two Towers extended edition, which as yet has not arrived in the mail.

Started looking into apartments today. At this point, if we stay in this area we will almost certainly have to move back to Ypsi, where mailboxes get broken into and laundry gets stolen. I've already lived like that for several years, so the very idea of dealing with that again is enough to make me shaking angry. Plus just looking around this swell apartment makes me not want to leave. Honestly, once the dog is gone this place will be perfect. So if any of you know of a suitable roomate for us, do let me know. Our lease is up in August.



1. Has steady job, pays bills in a timely way
2. Does not drink heavily or use heavy drugs
3. No more pets unless they are in a cage and well cared for (actually, we might consider one more cat)
4. Reasonably tidy
5. Herb freindly/tolerant
6. Has good references.



Mercy
Mercy; Romans 12:15 Rejoice with them that do
rejoice, and weep with them that weep. You are
a sympathetic sweetheart. But you can be so
sympathic that you can be swayed into a wrong
point of view. You're attracted to the more
troubled people around you because you want to
sympathize with the misunderstood.

while you need to re-do some html somewhere on this post, because you have two scroll bars for some reason, which i've never seen on an lj entry.. aside from that, i probably meet those criteria for a roommate. the bad part, of course, would be that i would probably steal you away from that ever-so-smoove H in a rather dastardly way..

Actually I was editing it as you commented. You're so quick on the draw, you!

Dude, if I had a car to drive to you, many of my current woes would be solved.

i don't know about "many", but.. possibly a few, at least :)

I meant if I had a car, I would also have a job, and some money,a nd maybe not have to move.

yeah.. probably :(

I hope that you won't have to move...I hope you're able to find a new roommate in the upcoming eight months...I also wish you a new job in the new year as well (obviously)...

baked goods from you sound like excellent presents...and it's neat that you're sharing part of your life with your father you never knew...

I wish you lived nearby, as I'd love to have your positive influence much closer.

I dont' know what will end up happening with Walt. But if it all goes wrong, I want to be able to say that I did my best to make it work out. It's also kind of cool to have some family connection this time of year.

awww, that's very sweet of you...I wish I could hang out with you...but technically, I live only a state away...but since there's that big old lake between Wisconsin and Michigan, it makes it a little bit more difficult...I've never even made it to Lower Michigan yet, but one of these days I'll have to fix that...

hopefully your relationship with your dad won't sour...but you're right, having some kind of connection with your family right now and at this time of the year has to be a good thing...I think it's wonderful that you're reaching out to him...

I'll be keeping everyone posted on the progression of things. Right now I think he's just leary of me...we're leary of eachother I think. So reaching out with a gift feels like the right step for me.
