Move east.. *coughcough*
Anyway, aren't there any ad-pages you could look at, where people rent out a room or so for some time?

"A good friend of ours said that if the same laws were applied to U.S. Presidents as were applied to the Nazis after World War II that every single one of them, every last rich white one of them, from Truman on would've been hung to death and shot. And this current administration there's no exception. They should be hung and tried and shot...as any war criminal should be.
But the challenges that we face they go way beyond administrations, way beyond elections, way beyond every four years of pulling levers, way beyond that, because this whole rotten system has become so vicioulsy cruel that in order to sustain itself it needs to destroy entire countries and profit from their reconstruction in order to survive. thats not a system that changes every four years, it is a system that we have to break down generation after generation after generation..." - Zach De La Rocha.

Meth, mon diable ravissant, I cannot just move east, no matter how I'd like to.
I've been looking at ad pages, but everywhere I've looked at has come up with one of three barriers-
- the ad was posted by a male of dubious providence who is seeking only single female flatmates between the ages of 19 and 25
- the ad states that they are not accepting anyone under the age of 23
- they do not reply when I contact them.
It's a bloody nightmare How is a 20 year old female with a full time guaranteed job and no pets, no children, no dependants, no credit card debt and no smoking habits such a difficult person to find a flat for? I fit EVERY criteria that the damn advertisers want, but am somehow too young!

Now this floods my already envious mind and soul with jealousy enraged.
Even teenagers in Las Vegas are seeing Voltaire?
My life sucks.
At least I got to see Siouxsie before dying.

Awwhhh... sorry HP. It was an all ages show, and FREE! (well, he asked for donations) He said it was the first free show he's ever done. If you're still on my myspace friends list, i uploaded the pics and vids from the show if you'd like to check them out.

Just finished listening to Obama's acceptance speech at the DNC in Denver.
I am voting him in. The past several days worth of speeches have all been great, his wife is a damn good orator too.

The US election makes me all antsy, I don't have tv so all I get is what I see on the web. It just boggles me that McCain has such a good chance to win in November. And is probably gonna win in November. *sigh*

Just as the next president isn't any worse than Bush, or as bad as Bush, I don't care who gets nominated.

That seems really strange, could you maybe go to a Realtor to have them try and help you find a place (they sometimes have access to listings that you would not)?

I think I expect too much of children...
I just assumed that by age four a child should have grasped language to the extent where they can say "mine" or "want" or the name of an object instead of doing that screeching sound.
Whenever I see child make that sound for no apparent reason I feel like...
like the parents need to teach their kids social etiquette, at least to the extent, of "don't scream in public places" and tell them off for being so rude...
I definately expect too much of children....

I can't stand children. I try not to even be in the same room as them if I can possibly help it. Babies and toddlers are the absolute worst.

I'm quickly learning to hate them too.
Some, a select few, are very sweet; but most are bratty and noisy.
I had to sit next to a six year (ish) old in the cinema last time I went. Eugh >_> Never again. The noise she made was horrific, the popcorn spilt, she kept getting up and wandering around; the worst crime, however, was at every scene with subtitles (which was a fair few of them) she said 'Mummy what's he saying,' in this nasty and abrasive voice, with no concept of appropriate volume. She said that on every fucking line  . Shame they're pretty necessary.

Necessary? Or byproduct of our pleasure that we don't realize is a sin condemning the world to more children?

Am okay with children as long as they don't scream, cry, stink or they say "why" after every sentence you say
My cousin is the most adorable kid that i ever met, he once did something that i don't know why, but i faked that i was crying, so he looked at me and said "Tania, I'm sorry.... I'M SORRY" then he threw his tiny arms around me for a hug and said "Tania i love you" lol... He was three
And once my gramma was feeding him chicken with her hands, so he looked at her and said "did you wash your hands?" Hehe

LiU: It seems odd that anyone would take a child that young to a subtitled movie. O.o What movie was it? [And I feel the same as you whenever I hear a child screaming in the grocery store..]

It was the new Mummy thing (I know, not very 'cool' or 'educational', but quite good fun!), lots of it was in Chinese, and it had subtitles.
The film wasn't suitable for little kids, I would have had nightmares for weeks if I'd seen it at that age - Anastasia scared the shit outa me. I think she was just there because the parents wanted to see it.

LiU: Ahhh, gotcha! I've been wanting to see that one actually.  I've liked the Mummy movies thus far, but was disappointed when I heard that the librarian chick wasn't going to be in this one.
But yeah, I definitely agree with you about the child thing! I swear, don't parents read ratings or anything these days? -_-;;;

I have an applepear. And at work I was so tremendously bored, I timed how long it took me to suck my lollipop. About half an hour!
It's my brother's farsical wedding tomorrow. I need to dye my hair tonight as well. I am getting to the wedding ON THE BUS. In a dress and heels no less, and then oh joy of joys, after the farce has taken place, we shall all go back for the recption to...........A KIDS INDOOR PLAY AREA/JUNGLEGYM. Because my uncle's girlfriend owns the place they get the party room for free. All they have to pay for will be the typical buffet. I'm taking a bottle of Jack. I need that Jack to get through the day >.<
