"42, Robert."
I stared at her in awe, wondering what the hell was going on.
Then I remember that a few minutes ago she had mentioned that we only had 45 minutes left before we were done for the day.
Weird.

It was fairly slow today at work. Jane and I were standing at our wickets waiting for customers to come in. For reasons unbeknownst to me, I was thinking about how the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie will be out soon. Suddenly Jane turned to me and said,
"42, Robert."

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

you know what i just found out?
my parents have gotten hundreds of letters from realtors and random people wanting to buy this house.
but my parents refused all of them (even a $750 grand offer), because they want me to graduate first. my dad claims that he has kinda always felt bad that we used to move houses so much when i was 10 and younger, so he decided to buy a house, stay in it until i graduate, and then leave it to me while they retire and move away so i can keep the (then mortgage-free) place for myself.
how sweet.

my house back home where my mom and brother lives probably is about $100,000 and thats if we found a sucker to actually pay that. I think we bought it for $90,000 12 years ago.I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

750 000!?!?! Sweet Christ!! That is not normal! That's like rich mansionish.

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

also Sonya, is it cos of the property? We sold our house in richmond for 800,000 and it wasnt even that nice, it was cos of the land. I think they made condos outta it now.
...probably, actually. that's what my parents thought.
the area is actually really pretty sweet. i'm 15 minutes away from downtown Vancouver, i've got a view of the City, sea, and mountains, it's on the top of a hill, right next to a market-type street (Lonsdale Ave.) but it's a surprisingly quiet neighbourhood, considering that 2 bus stops are on the other side of the block, we're right between 3 elementary schools, and the high school isn't more than 8 blocks away.
plus, it's north vancouver.
ohm, and this place is NOT a mansion, rusty.
it's a 3-storey complex with 9 units. we just happen to have bought the coolest one.

lol a mansion celebrity style is like $250,000 here in Brandon. it's really cheap to live here unless you're renting. We have a huge shortage of low cost apartments here, most people just get a house instead.
We have a fairly nice middle class/upper middle class house in a nice suburban style neighbor hood and it's like $120,000.
The Biggest house in the city is $1,000,000, and it's HUGE.
