The Baby
Today I went house hunting with Rebekah. We found some pretty intriguing places to call up and read more on...like Van Burren apts. off of Smithville and a few cute, but run down places in Southpark that have ALOT of character to them. Probably the best was this quaint one-half of a duplex in the Oregon District...it even has a private back patio area and is probably Rebekah and I's favorite feature! I could probably walk to Stivers too once it gets relocated to its new building on 5th. It IS however JUST out of the budget we wanted to be spending...so I don't know, I think we'll look more on Wednesday and tomorrow I am going to call about those places in Southpark.

I am, however apprehensive about moving out. For really ONLY one reason and I'll tell you why...My parents really really really don't want me to move out. In fact, they don't want me to move out so much that they've offered to help me with grad school IF AND ONLY IF I stay and live at home. I thought that was pretty low of them...its pretty much blackmail in my opinion. That's A LOT of money to just be throwing away, but if I'm not going to get out there and get on my own feet now when will I be?? I'll be attached to my parents all through grad school if I let them pay for anything and I figure if I really need help...won't they help me anyway? I don't know...I am really angry at them for putting me in this position. I want to move out, I make a decent amount of money now and I've been doing well responsibility wise lately. Yes, I understand I'd be saving a lot of money living at home, but I'm 22...I feel like it might be time for me to live on my own...I'm the baby, I was spoiled, I need to stop being so. I don't know.

I died my hair last night (I'm not being a very good flower child putting chemicals in my hair...). Dark Mahogany Brown. I like it a lot. I also got a ton of clothes from Value City for super cheap and they are CUTE!

My mom has been finding a lot of vintage cameras for me at garage sales so far my new collection includes...
Polaroid Automatic 103 Land Camera w/ Flash Bulb (pretty sure the film is long since out of production for this camera...)
Kodak 35mm Pony 135 w/ flash
Kodak 620mm Vigilant Junior SIX-20

so it looks like the only really usable camera is the 35mm but we'll see how things go...

hair cut tomorrow, vet visit wednesday! bye!

maybe you should think about grad school in terms of getting funding (because most artists get some or at least go to the school that gives them the most), then you won't feel like you are giving up such an advantageous situation with your parents. plus, you wouldn't be going to grad school in dayton anyway, so i don't see why your parents (most likely your mom) are making you feel this way. you've been with them your whole life, i think she's just nervous about/deferring the time you leave (which is now/the very near future). plus you don't have any loans, so one would be fine. you're working and have a ton of things to show off about on your grad app, they'll love to give you money.

Yes, it is my mom although my dad thinks I should stay home too to save money. He thinks its a waste with me working in Dayton to live anywhere else at this point in my life. I am still worried about finances and of course...living in a Dayton city district and being home alone at night sometimes :x eep! but we're definitely looking...I'd like a place for my friends to stay that isn't my parents house and I can't stand living at home because they've accumulated so much clutter over the years that I can't dig my way out of it!
