I Am A Homeowner

















Well, congratulations are in order. After almost a year of househunting, I finally cemented my decision to put down roots in Atlanta - literally. As of yesterday morning, I am officially under contract for a 2 bed, 2 1/2 bath townhouse! This is great news for many reasons, detailed in the list below:

1. I no longer have to throw away rent on my shit apartment which looks like it was decorated by Newt Gingrich, or someone equally as conservative and boring.

2. I am no longer a slave to my single old lady neighbor, who has an array of pets and plants and conveniently stops me to chat when I have thirteen bags of groceries in my hand.

3. My current apartment has been cursed with the ghost of boys that sleep over and don't touch me. This is a very bad situation I feel I need to get out of immediately.

You see, when I first moved into my place a year and a half ago, I didn't have high expectations for ass-age. But sometime during Weekend 2 of my residence, I had a surprise sleepover visitor who effectively helped me to christen the apartment. I thought to myself, "Self, this is great! You're going to get more ass in this apartment than a public bathroom toilet."

Not so, my friends, not so. My overnight visitor came and went, and since then, I think I have actually hooked up in my apartment 3 times in the last year and a half (and I've been single for the majority of this time). I have hooked up aplenty in that time, but rarely in my humble abode. For some reason, every time someone ends up at my place, they walk into a veritable force field of Negative Ions of Ass Past, because if I had a dime for every time a guy crashed here and I woke up to nothing but a good spoon in the middle of the night, I'd be buying a f*cking penthouse, not a townhouse.

I've believed that this is a curse, and I believe that for the sake of my hooking-up-in-my-own-home health, I really need a change of scenery. So there you have it - a large hundred-of-thousand dollar investment whose glass standup shower stall is guaranteed to see some action.
The "Field of Dreams" hope is still in full effect - if I build it, they will come.

So with that in mind, think of me on February 9th, 2007. Or better yet, swing by. "Open house" on me.

Nice going, Karen. I'm glad to see the exposed insulation, in keeping with the Atlanta locale ;)
