want want want

[verbicide]

I am obsessed.

I mean, more than usually.

I'm obsessed with wanting all these things now. Some things I never thought I'd want. Some things I never thought I'd have.

One of the things I am determined to have is a Not So Big House. Thanks to brabble, I am thoroughly obsessed. I've always liked cozy small spaces. And tell me this isn't fucking cool.

I'm unwilling to write about some of the other things that I've started obsessing about. Oh wait. No, I'm not. I'm a total blabbermouth. Oh, but I'm also a chickenshit. So um. Hrm.

Never mind.

Big ass houses

[jeff-nw.livejournal.com]

I love smallish houses too. In Indiana (that scarry red state where I'm from), making it in life meant moving into one of those cavernous, souless new contruction abominations--with street addresses like "Rushing Creek Lane" in a subdivision called "Northern Goose Estates" (of course, the creek and geese have been removed to make room for you and all of your fellow subdivisioners to live in your McMansions). Yuck. Double yuck.

Sometimes I have nightmares. They always start the same way: I'm watching Nascar with the guys in one of those houses while the little missus' is with her friends talking about baby showers in the other room.

I won't go back there. I won't. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME.

McMansions. Hee. You crack me up!

And I have those nightmares, too. Only in my version, there's a group of betel-nut stained guys stinking up the living room, bellowing for more chai, while I giggle shrilly in the kitchen with the ladies over the latest hit from Bollywood while simultaneously making catty comments about the sari of the one woman who couldn't attend.

THEY CAN'T MAKE EITHER ONE OF US GO BACK THERE!!

BTW. I think I should have written "bigass" or "big-ass" house, lest someone think I meant big ass-house. I don't know exactly what a "big ass-house" would be like, but wouldn't feel entirely comfortable dissing it nonetheless.

You're so cute when you edit. *coo*

I gotta buy that book. I'm going to go through separation anxiety when I have to leave my parents' copy behind.

Ed and Marilee live in one of those "cavernous, souless new contruction abominations" [perfect description, Jeff], and whenever I'm there I feel like I can't touch anything lest I ruin its Parade of Homes perfectness. It's not a house, it's a status symbol museum. Icky.
