I should know better. DO NOT READ NEWS BEFORE BED. [livejournal.com profile] sillymagpie posted up a link last night that got me so mad I couldn't sleep (Not reposting it yet. I'm not ready to deal with it though it got facebooked and tweeted in my ire last night)

i hate politics.

In a more positive vein, I love George Takei. Not news. I've loved him since I was 5. I dislike twitter on the whole but i have to have one for my author's platform and i'm following George, Nathan Fillion and Amber Benson, they're hysterical, especially the two guys.

Mom called tonight rather excited, she's been looking at real estate i could potentially afford. mom found me this house It's lovely.I could probably afford it. Wellston is dying hence the cheapness.

then there is THIS Well at least i could AFFORD it.

I agree. Stupid train whistle woke me up at 0h-dark-thirty this a.m. and I thought the train was coming through my house. It kept whistling, too, and it was like a beacon call, because suddenly, there were whistles everywhere.

The first house is pretty, but do we trust you with stairs? You, who own cats who will dart under your feet at the top of the stairs--or grab your ankle halfway down--at the first opportunity? If that place has a basement staircase you're doubly dead.

The cabin is great if you want to die all alone in the woods. Lovely view of...the trees, and I guess that's water barely visible between the tree trunks. I'm not sure what the picture of the "For Sale" sign is showing us, besides more trees. And how long has that place been empty, anyway? You could build a second cabin out of the leaves piled on the deck.

But you're right. It is affordable :P.

stairs and me = death. I think that might be mother's motivation really. She used to love watching Iktomi kill me on stairs when i lived in a town house.

dying alone in the woods has it's appeal some days. I think it's been empy ever since those revenuer boys come shut down the still

The house your mom found looks nice! The other one, well, the other one had a really funny description? "Cozy cottage..."

Uh, yeah, I think I know what news thing you're talking about, and yeah. Just - no.

George Takei has a twitter?! How did I not know about this?

Jesus, no kidding. That picture! If you were a serial killer, I mean, that place would be perfect.

I went and found it. I particularly like the tweet he sends to the TSA people, the one that says, "Touch my junk and I'm going in with tongue."

You just made me laugh at 7am. Their attempts to sell that cozy cottage are pretty fun, although living there might be slightly less fun.

I can't believe the price of that first place! Whoa. It's a very cute place, too! Lots of space, and the timber and porch look very charming to my European eyes.

Well the first house is beautiful! Those houses around my area would seriouly cost an arm and a leg (no Ed that was not directed at you>) hmmm maybe like 300 or 400,000 or more. Houses are so damn expensive where I live (MD). But the other...house, is that even a house? It looked like a shed and well, I laughed at that. Good luck house hunting...or mom's houses hunting!

I think they called it a cabin. hahaha... and it's supposed to have two bedrooms. But I guess neither bedroom has any winders.

Re: Ummm

Date: 2011-02-19 02:45 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
yeah the fact it has no winders is a bit peculair. It was probably a hunting/fishing lodge

Sorry to have upset you. It was an upsetting subject. :/

The first house looks fantastic, but the second one looks like it will show up on the news when they find the serial killer and the bodies buried in the yard.

The sunrise is gorgeous!

it's not your fault I'm retarded. I know better.

hahaha doesn't it though? The serial killer allure makes me want it more.

it was a brooding sunrise

That house your mom found is lovely, and for the price... but the estimated payment seems awfully low. Even with that huge 20% down payment. I don't think they're calculating tax and insurance in that payment. Nice big corner lot. I love the color. Oddly, blue is not one of my favorites, but it looks really nice on that particular house with the white trim.

That little cabin.. haha well, it sounds like it's bigger than it looks. You wouldn't have to worry about drafty window as much since there hardly even ARE any. ^_^ But it could be a diamond in the rough. Some new siding and maybe have another window put in the front could make a huge difference.

Realistically though, I thought this one was cute.

there are ones even cheaper in Wellston that are bigger. I wasn't kidding when I said the town is dying. This whole area is getting poorer by the minute. If i knew I had tenure I would buy something but if I don't get tenure I no longer have a job so...

The little cabin might have promise.

i think that one you found is by the highway. It is also cute
