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."

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.

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.

$750 000?!

Describe your fucking house!

so i wasn't the only one who flipped out on that, im guessing.. hah

isnt 750,000 like normalish?
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.

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.

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

...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.

double posting.

bahaha, another thing they could sell oo eBay.

What does that come to in American, cause that's a VERY nice house here.

So, I just won a HUGE big screen tv in the raffle at my apartment comlex, it's like fifty inches. I also knew I was going to win. My apartment next year is going to be the most popular.

I also sprained my knee today

$750,000 = US$600,000

Still a nice house. I think that's more than ours is worth, but I can't be sure.

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.

Where I live, half of the homes are million dollar homes. Fortunately, we moved in before prices sky rocketed like that.

there are million dollar houses going up all over the place about 3 minutes away from mine.

and they built a 27 hole golf course down the road from me, which means mine will go up in value. crazy

not even close to that much though..

why is it that the one night i'm not burried in text books, nobody's awake?

blah?

I think he's a Kelly Osbourne fan.
