Oh I don't question why people want to stay in places with astronomic real estate prices. I just completely get it when they also want to leave for whatever reason.
I've adored my neighborhood. I just really would like to be in a place I actually own and that just can't happen here. Nor would I want it to. My house is darling but spending about $700K on something that needs to be leveled and rebuilt? Even if I could technically afford it, I wouldn't want to put that kind of money into it.
I'm earwormed with "Starfish and Coffee," with slightly altered lyrics
I knew you'd be the other person thus affected.
Baby baby baby! Welcome Olivia!
We'll have to get her a Teatro Olivia when she's older.
Missouri has some great town names. Peculiar, Tightwad, Knob Lick, Licking, Butts, Japan, Cuba, Turtle, Village of Four, and many more.

Everyone
should be thus affected, dammit.
Relatedly, I think I need to take "Sexy MF" off my shuffle, as I have repeatedly and humiliatingly proven myself totally incapable of listening to it while walking down the street without shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass.

In my lj, flea just posted:
And now I can only sing, "all of us were ordinary, compared to Olivia Rose."
Typo Boy/Gar is in Portland.
No, was in Portland. Now in Olympia Washington, and have been for some time.
And don't post or lurk as much any more due to Repetive Stress Injury. Cortizone therapy alone did not do it last time, but physical therapy and traction finally kicking in, so may be able to start posting more, instead of occasional drive bys on the John H. Natter diet.
See? See? See, David? See?
*I* knew where Gar was. And you call yourself a file keeper!
(Okay, so it helps that he moved to a city I lived in for five years or so, but still! My Files and Records fu beat yours!)
I'm glad to hear that the PT and traction are helping out, Gar.
I am heading to Portland in the morning for five days of "finding a nice neighborhood to move to soon." Any tips?
