Just in case anybody's interested: I now officially own a house.

Which means I'm going to have to arrange a closing party at some point. And a housewarming party some time after the weekend of December 7th.

Yay! Now I can jump you. Well, I'd really be jumping you because you've got a kilt, but ya know, I want to look shallow and all that.

Congratulations, you home owner, you! How's it feel to be so far in debt? *grin*

Yay for kilts! :-)

This is actually the picture I took my silly userpic from.

I know!

I know, silly, you've shown it to me before.
Woo hoo, that's almost racy sounding.

You're doing NaNoWriMo, right? How's your book coming? Are you posting it online so people like me can waste time at work reading it?

Like I'm finally understanding that long-term, low-interest ominous feeling that all my friends got right after college.

Then again, I'm more than two full (private, no scholarship) college educations in debt now. That's a kind of sobering thought.

S'okay. I'll just skip the first couple of kids I could otherwise afford :-)

With luck, the third potential kid will turn into a sportscar just in time for me to grow a Tom Selleck moustache.

Utilikilts seem to go hand-in-hand with "racy sounding". Of course, I was going to say something about wearing another man's kilt and flashing the birthday girl, but that actually was racy. And literally true at the time.

I'd give more details, but said birthday girl is on LJ and might want to give her own version of the story :-)

My novel's coming really poorly. Slowly, mainly. I've pretty much given up on it :-(

Badass. Congratulations. Rest assured that I will demand a tour the next time I make it up to the Bay Area.

You bet'cha. It'll probably be a very quick tour -- depending, of course, on how long you feel like inspecting the hot tub :-)

Congratulations!

Why do I feel such a sense of accomplishment? Oh yeah, because my nagging wrought results. Wow, I don't think I have influenced someone into years worth of debt before, talk about some wroughting.

Seriously, that rocks, I hope that this works out for you.

It had better. If it doesn't, I'll track you down and realize I have no actual complaint. So to be passive-agressive I will become goth and direct my limp-wristed flamboyant patheticness in your direction. I will simulataneously bitch viciously about not being allowed to smoke my clove cigarettes in restaurants. Shortly thereafter I'll forget that I'm mad at you in particular and just act that way toward everybody.

Be warned.

Wait, when you say "I own a house" do you mean "I own a house in Mountain View, California"?

wow.

Image as you as a goth

*ROTFLMAO* Okay, that is going to stick with me for a while. Though I stand by my original assertion that you would look good in eyeliner.

Fremont, actually. So it's still ungodly expensive, but not, like, $700k.

Housewarming party

Congratulations ! a house is no small thing around here.

However, you may want to consider pushing the housewarming party to sometime in January, or one part of your social circle (people doing Dickens) won't be able to show up
