Almost Home, Sorta

I am thinking about buying a house. I looked online. There are manufactured homes I can afford without a roommate (just hope for no hurricane and have insurance and enough saved to be in another place for a few months lol). I also looked at some older homes I can afford on my own. In my price range, they are kind of beat up and really a crap shoot cuz they could have all sort of issues. I'm going to talk to some people in the building department about how to get inspections done as economically as possible and maybe they'll give me some tips and maybe I'll get super lucky and one will help me out.

I just wanted you to know. :)

A little scary, especially going by myself, but I'm tired of searching for a roommate and tired of paying Shane's entire mortgage and if I'm going to live in the slums I might as well pay my own mortgage.

I'm not sure I want to go as far north as Orange City but there are some manufactured homes up there that are bigger ad nicer than the ones I've seen around here. There are a few old beat up places in Altamonte and Longwood too. Now I just have to motivate myself to get out and look at the places and neighborhoods from the outside and then... make appointments with realtors.

Wish I had a friend I trusted ho cared enough to help me look.

Maybe in the evenings after work (I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow evening, but after that). Maybe after softball on Saturday. My Sundays are booked for a while. Look for me out at the fields, I'l be somewhere rating players all day.

So I'm excited, scared, and wondering if I'll just not actually follow through. lol.

I've also been feeling lonely today and just laid around and didn't do laundry or get to the gym or do anything, but I rested a lot and played games on the phone and that was fun. I spent a few hours on Facebook exchanging comments and that was ... as usual, unsatisfying. Meeting new friends probably won't happen there. Meeting new friends is really challenging at my age, but even more challenging being me. I am tired of being what others want me to be.

All is well though. Feel good. Still under 185 pounds after eating out relatively unrestricted all week. Heading for 175, maybe 170, maybe lower.

Doing anything fun or exciting? :)

How are you? :)

hl,
me :)

Still The Same

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely, but it's almost always by choice. Or forgetfulness. I wonder if you understand that. I don't know if anyone ever has. That, in and of itself, is lonely. I learned self-control as a survival skill before I knew how to define or describe what I was doing. Instinct saved me from so much, and eventually, I learned that everything I thought or felt was a choice. My choice. It isolated me so much from others, It still does. I did everything I could to try to forget this. I did everything I could to try to forget who I am, what I can do, and how it feels to be me. It didn't work. I did it for love. You are sometimes uncomfortable around me and I'm not sure if you know why. It is because I can feel everything and you can feel that and it scares you. It is your hypersensitivity. You don't know how to be comfortable with all you feel, especially because there are so many sad and painful feelings in this world and I feel ev...

all I want

I check my email, nothing meaningful is there I check my phone, no one really seems to care I check myself, sometimes I'm not even here and still I do everything I can just to share because all I want to do in life is share. I ask for too much, it drives people away sharing everything is not popular today I just want someone who is not afraid to play without hiding or asking me to pay I just want someone real who really wants to stay I try to understand why people are afraid to share so afraid to trust, to love, to let themselves be here I understand how people can use and abuse me when I care but I don't understand over empowering fear to me that is just wasting the little time we have here all I want to do in life is share This isn't just to you, E, this is me trying to express myself and understand who I am, what I want, and what is missing from my otherwise happy life. The superficial challenges and comforts and cleanliness and healthiness matter, but ...

To You, To Me, For You

Never give up on love, never give in to fear, always remember your passion for that is what makes you care and that is what you should share for that is why you are here So I'll just keep trying to encourage you to share this way and any other way I can think of, cuz I adopted you and this is what family does, reminds you to be yourself, define yourself, grow yourself, express yourself... Maybe I ask too much of you, but I believe you've got it in your to continue growing your confidence and ability to know and express yourself. I believe you could write a book one day and it would be full of the kind of insight and love that this world needs. Even more important, I believe you need to get it out, to ride through the catharsis that self-expression can be - into a new awareness of just how precious and few people like you are. I'll just keep trying to convince you and hope you believe me... There's always hope (I hope)... there's always hope because I h...
