i live in austin.
this is true.
but i dont know if i have fully been able to relax and take it in.
i dont have a job (crossing fingers toes and genitalia that this will change tomorrow-i bought a suit for fuck sake).
which makes it hard for me to let myself spend too much money on going out.
i can drink myself silly in the comforts of my new home.
on my new couch.
or eat cheap at my new dining table.
watch a netflix movie on my tv that sits atop my new (1940's radio converted) tv stand.
and then pass out in my new bed.
do laundry with my very own washer and dryer.
and then put them away in my new dresser.
i of course havent technically spent any money--this is all on credit.
on my visa, my mastercard, and my mattcard (where interest can be paid in blowjobs).
and while we have all of these 'new' things, we havent gone to nice pretty shiny stores.
we have peoples old shit.
whether they tossed it in the garbage (big trash day!), given to thrift stores, or posted on craigslist (god love the list of craig!) we have accquired some gently loved items but also some furniture that was in very abusive/neglectful relationships.
home depot and wood markers have been my bestest friends since i have moved to tay-haas.

wow. i need to get a life before i start talking about our new hose holder...no that isnt as hot as it sounds.
