I Want To Live Smaller

I want to live in a tiny house. Seriously. Have you seen these?  They are fucking awesome.  And I feel like if I had a tiny house with just enough room to be, then maybe it would help with the shopping issue...maybe. I think so. Probably.  I almost think perhaps a hypnotist is in order. 

I couldn't do a super tiny house, like some are less than 100 square feet!!  I would feel too claustrophobic and unsafe. Plus, I do need some room to work on my art or sewing.  I just can't do it sitting in my chair or on the couch all the time. I also need one with the bedroom separate..I just like having that distance between where I sleep and where I do other things.
I love visiting Tiny House Swoon and Tiny House Listings.  It's pure window shopping or wishlisting for what I hope to someday live in.

The pic above is one from a great tiny house that is about 224 sq ft. I like that the table is built onto the wall and is long. This would be a perfect setting for my sewing machines. Plenty of room for cutting and sturdy enough for the motor of the machines.  It also looks out a window so that natural is available as well as a view.  If I get tired sewing or crafting eyes, I just stop and watch what's going on outside!

This one is too cool as well, but is 450 sq ft. While I'd rather have more work area than knick knack display, this is the kind of place that would give me a sense of space with the separations of the major living areas, but yet fill my need to scale my life down.  I do love all the colors they use and think they lend to the vibrancy of the space.

Even with all the weirdness my mind gives me each day, I'm drawn more and more to these tiny houses.  Sometimes I think it would be a great business venture to partner with a company to work on a tiny house housing development.  We have all these cul-de-sacs and neighborhoods with gigantic houses being built.  They take a lot of land, a lot of money and a lot of resources.  I would love to have a neighborhood that not only had a slew of tiny house but perhaps a neighborhood garden as well.  That would be me my ideal neighborhood.

All This And More

I'm a glutton for punishment. We're broke up. We really are. We are friends. Best friends. But it makes things weird right now.  I have my addictions. Food is one. The other is feeling wanted. 

I'm contemplating moving after graduation. I graduate on May 16th. Less than a month. But I have criteria. Must be near a M.A.D.E. league. Must be somewhere that I can actually picture myself living, so not like Texas or Utah. I dunno. I feel like things are going to be horrible instead of awesome.

Is it supposed to be like this? I don't know. I've never been at this point in life, ever, cause how could I have been? I'll be 38 this year. I can't really grasp it. When you are in your teens and 20s you can't imagine that by the time you're almost 40 you still won't know what you want from life. I mean, I know what I want to do with bits and pieces of it. I know that I love reffing roller derby. I love making art in one form or another. I know that deep in my heart the Pagan path was the right one for me.

I'm pretty sure I never want to be married again. I'm pretty sure I want to always work with something in non-profit. I'm pretty sure giving up smoking was a good idea.

I think.

I dunno. I'm unsure a lot. Like, teenager unsure. Like, about 85% of the time. Just keeping it real ya'll. I watch Louis C.K. and want to yell "HOW AM I THE FEMALE VERSION OF YOU?"

You Know That Whole "FIVE" Thing?

So there is this thing where couples have their 'five'. You know, five celebrities that they'd get to fuck with total immunity if the opportunity should ever arise.  Well, I was never down for that cause, rigggggghhhhtt.  But I do have a rotating list of guy crushes that it is just known if something is on with them, I gotta watch. In no particular order:

Found on Google...
Zach Galifianakis - Yes, ever since I saw him with a piano doing stand-up. I love him.

Found on Google...Huffpo maybe..
Louis CK - Freckly and all ginger..mmmmmmmmm.

Found on Google...Rolling Stone perhaps...
Richard Ayoade - EYE-Oh-Wah-dee is how you say it and it just rolls off the tongue....oh yeah...

Found on Google....
Henry 'Hank' Rollins - smart, pretty, tattooed...need I say more?

Found on Google...
Nick Offerman - I had no idea. Just none. I don't care that he is a big meat eating man.
