J said - Obession

Obessions can be healthy sometimes..they give us a sense of direction and purpose.
My personal obession is a house. Not a big house..not a small house just a house.

and oh yes.. I know what I want...

I quiet neighborhood.. doesn't have to be a super nice neighborhood..but no shooting please

an OLD house.. at least 30 years old
Brick
2 or more stories
a basement
lots of windows
a nice sized backyard & frontyard
large OLD trees


You notice I leave out the details of whst I want on the inside?? why? because I expect to have to strip everything out of the house just to get rid of the previous owners smell. but as for the inside...


at least 4 bedroms (hey I want my friends to come visit)
at least 3 bathrooms (yes I AM a shower hog)
hardwood floors
Light colored walls...


*sighs* I can see it all in my mind...at work. when I'm bored.. I cruise the web for houses...Atlanta is such a new blasted city most of the houses are new.. but some are old lovely ones....I know as soon as I get my car I will go house hunting...just cruising through the city...eyeing homes...I mean I have 4 years before I have to buy (yes...I will be buying a house by the time I am 26..no doubt I want to start earlier but I don't see that happeneing...)


I have even told my mother that the only graduation gift I want is cash so I can start saving for the house...and of course if she wants to give me her car while she is at it..that would help too...


see? obessions can be good....
