anyway, after debating whether i should keep it up or just forgo that type of communication, i decided to delete it. i’m keeping my twitter account because it sort of amuses me and at least i get some sense of interaction (the whole “social” part of social networking) from it.

in other, more significant news, cadie and i have been looking at houses for the last few weeks. it’s something i’d sort of wanted to avoid, mostly because it makes me feel like i’m getting old and also that i’m getting rid of what little “kid stuff” is left in my life and replacing it with more real-life adult responsibility. after looking at a few, we grew really attached to one particular house and ended up making an offer on it. at this point, though, we’re in sort of a waiting game because it’s a short sale and that leaves the burden of approval on the bank who holds the current mortgage. usually, that kind of thing will take 30-60 days, so that gives us some time to look at other things, save some more money, etc. i hate to admit it, but it’s kind of exciting to possibly be getting a place of our own, away from idiot neighbors in such close proximity. i might actually be able to play amplified guitar (sans headphones) for the first time since april of 2007.
