it got sidelined.
i met bri. shortly thereafter i had a scheduled trip to philly to sort things out with my cousin, who i was going to live with AND to go to my uncle's surpise 60th birthday party. bri knew that i was planning on moving to philly. he did everything in his power the day my plane took off for my visit to make me miss my flight
but luckily when i got to the airport, the flight was delayed an hour.
anyways, i go to philly to realize that my cousin is not someone i really want to live with. let's just say his lifestyle wasn't coinciding with the goals that i wanted to accomplish in the next year. ya know, he's a bachelor and he's way into the bachelor/bar scene among other things.
i came home. bri told me that his friend had a house that they were remodeling that wasn't in the best of neighborhoods, but could provide a very cheap place to live. i asked him if he was asking me to move in with him. he grinned. i said yes. the rest is history.
i've all but quit drinking. i'm back in school full time. i'm finally doing what i have wanted to do for quite some time and i feel great.
as for the cookie cutter home, i'm really just trying to make you feel better. :P we're actually looking at purchasing a home in the city. something relatively inexpensive, but with loads of potential. bri is a carpenter. he wants to buid me a darkroom. who am i to stop him?
