ooh, in SUCH a mood right now

I haven’t been posting what I want to post when I want to post it because house hunting is a massive bitch. I have rarely known such frustration since so many factors are well out of my hands. Will people call you back? Answer e-mails? Are they shady? Is this a legit place and not a scam?

I am thrilled at the prospect of more space and a real garage and hopefully a deck (all this made possible thanks to having a potential roommate to split costs with), less than thrilled with the endless uncertainty and stress. I honestly did not think it was going to be this hard! Shows what I know, eh? I’ve only moved 15+ times, but I always knew where I was going because I was the sole decision maker, knew exactly what I could swing, when I needed it by, etc. This time there are family factors, roommate requests, and an extremely flexible timeline that might result in me not moving at all if things don’t come together in the next week or two. I can deal with ever-changing goalposts, sure, but it’s different when it involves, minimum, the next year of your life and a lot of money. A lot of money. Oh, the money. I am a wee bit stressed about money. The next two weeks are extremely critical, and then I can relax to know whether we’re going through with it or things remain as they are.

Ok, deep breath.

My “destroyer of USD cheques” Bank has straightened out my paypal issue and I’m basically good to go for posting games and assorted large things that I no longer need or use to sell. Woo. This will also help with money worries since I might put the camera purchase on hold for a few months longer. Definitely a major goal for the summer, though!

I have been working hard not to be touchy about random subjects lately — don’t even start about the election. You’ll find the rest of your life substantially more difficult without a head — so I apologise in advance if I sound a little terse on twitter or here or wherever. I rented a game last night to help with that. Its actually NOT the game that I had requested to put on hold, but turned out to be one of those wonderful mistakes that worked out pretty alright. Yes, it involves racing and has 0% in common with GT5 since it’s actually pure fun all the way around. Even if the character models are truly nightmare inducing. *shudder* I know it’s an older game, and I am thrilled beyond belief that there are female options, but perhaps they were better off focusing on making their male figures less terrifying instead of everyone being creepy across the board. Doesn’t matter though; it’s the tracks that count and I will be hitting them hardcore this weekend :)
