i couldn't work inside my house today. i kept looking out of my window and seeing how bright and sunny it was. seeing the birds crowd around the bird feeders hanging from the tree in our front yard. i wanted to be outside. however, today is homework day. i asked myself. what in the world is the point of having a house and a big frontyard and gorgeous backyard if you aren't ever going to use it. so i took my laptop and my homework to my backyard. brought a little blanket in case it gets chilly and found an extension cord in my garage (can't let my baby die now can i?). the lawn chairs are comfy, and i can hear bird chirping and see the sun shining on the grass.

and here i am. enjoying homework more than i have in ages. owning a house is pretty much amazing.

also, my homework assignment is an essay on if we, humans, are self-made. i'm writing mine using fight club (chuckie p would be so proud). my stance: no.

so first off: we got the house! super excited about that. also saw today that black tide is coming back to seattle. now, i have to say... i got hooked on this band by accident. my friend dragged me to an avenged sevenfold concert - a group i'm not a fan of - but i went just to hang out and have a good time. well black tide, this band of relatively young boys who play very amazingly done "metal" opened for them. i loved them and by the end of the night i had one of their songs, which i had never heard before, stuck in my head. needless to say, i'm also in love with the lead singer of the band. but you know, we all have our fan-girl crushes on cute little metal boys named gabriel, right?

never have i been so stressed in my life. i feel like i've proposed to someone and they've taken the time "sleep on it" and "ponder it over." let's stick with the wedding analogy: i'm currently at the part where you just want to be rejected already so that you can beg and plead and fix whatever it is that's wrong with and try again. but i haven't even got an answer. we put in papers to buy a house, and this isn't just any house, this house is absolutely gorgeous with features that you're just not going to find on any given house. it's been on the market for three days now. and we've put in an offer for the full price that they asked. but i still worry. i worry like hell. because i do not want this to slip through my fingers - it's like losing the one.

i'm a nervous wreck at the moment. i hope getting married will be easier than buying a house. this is just absolutely too hard on any one given person's psyche.
