Colorquiz

Tee hee, I took this from silver_tiamat :

( My Colorquiz )

On the whole, I actually think it's quite accurate - almost to the point of 90-95%. I know this could be falling victim to horoscope syndrome - that is, talking generalities that are likely to apply to everyone, because they'll mold it to fit their personal schemas. However, I found it quite interesting how it talks about how I want to be considered special, and that I need others to fortify my worth and esteem. Because... I AM like that. I'm needy and insecure. I DO watch others closely and how they react to me, which isn't true of a lot of people I know. A lot of people are not cognizant.

I have been feeling stuck and isolated lately. Even tonight: Lindsey texted (mass text) saying there's going to be bowling and drinking and laser tag on Thursday. Just like the last 39586 fun nights, it's on a weekday, and at NIGHT, so I can't go. I asked her how come nothing's ever on a weekend or Friday anymore, and she said, "Well Holly works on the weekends and so do I." So to me, that means as a lesser tier person I have to suck it up or not go. And I CAN'T go. Because I work.

I am sensitive, I am irritable. I would use these two to describe me, in full earnest. I don't like high-maintenance relationships. I AM having job issues, and compromising my life. I do have an uncontrollable need to please people and I want recognition (though this is definitely not a major issue for me at the moment). I do get stubborn when I'm hurt.

The only thing that really does not fit AT ALL is the part about not being able to find a person with the same values as me. Wayyyy off.

All in all, very interesting!

Steve and I have begun seriously looking for places. We have a list of places jotted down and this weekend visited an apartment and its neighborhood. The apartment was okay. It had a good kitchen, met my closet space needs, and had a large bedroom. It even had a sort of nook where we could keep the litter box. The living room was tiny. The lady was a bitch for no reason, and asked very snarkily if I've rented before (I have, like three times. And I have good credit.). She said that two people can't live in a studio - that it must be a 1-bedroom. Wtf, no. Steve and I want a studio because we've basically been living in a tiny studio for a year now. Why waste space with extra walls?

My criteria:
-Lots of closet space (sharing a closet right now is KILLING us)
-Room for shelving
-A kitchen that is not suffocatingly small
-Place for litter boxes that is inoffensive
-Prefer garage

Steve's criteria:
-Not too busy, but not too in the middle of nowhere (not urban, but not 10+ minutes to a highway)
-Preferably in or around Oakdale (he's so gai for that city)
-Shorter lease for option of relocating
-Enough overall space to not feel suffocated (very much would like a big studio)
-Doesn't want to live in a "ghetto" or "white trash" area

We both want a ground floor place and prefer heat/water/trash included in rent.

So.. we don't conflict on the issue, but location is FARRR more important to him than me, and my need for closets and a garage are lesser to him. XD His parents will inevitably cry about wherever we move, because they're... ah... somewhat prejudiced, and consider anywhere outside their cul-de-sac a dangerous area. Especially if there is a black person sighting -_- Having worked in North Minneapolis (quite a dangerous area) and where I work in St. Paul now is also considered seedy, I'm not really afraid unless I got mixed up in drugs, which I won't. So there!

We're looking to move any time between now and April. We originally planned for April since the snow will be melting by then (whereas we got another few inches YESTERDAY) and it would be less hassle. But I think we're both quite itching to be on our own! We're gonna look at another apartment/neighborhood today. The area is by Lake Phalen, and Steve has some fears of the Lake Phalen area, especially in terms of ghetto-ness, so we're gonna scope it out.

I just threw this together on a print-screen because I <3 it: ^_^

Writer's Block: The name game

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I think I saw someone on Neopets with the username vixen_of_fire or something, and I, being a shameless 14-year-old, altered it to my own Neopets username. For awhile then I used vixenofflames for everything - AIM, Email, and oh! LiveJournal. I also went by "Vixie" on XBox live and other online sites. Because, you know, I was hawt.

I'll probably pay to change it in the future, as I am no longer a silly teenager ^_^
