It seems that the binder ahead of me is in contract now, so we’ll see what happens. There’s always the chance that the board will turn down the person. After all, The kid’s parents are buying the place for their son to live in, where with me, I’m actually buying my own place.
So keep your fingers crossed for me. And if I don’t get it, then it wasn’t meant to be. After all, the more time I wait, the more i’ll be able to save up and afford.
It’s started. I put down my first Binder on my own home. I found a co-op in Westbury that I like and have started the negotiations. Granted, there is one binder ahead of mine (that I know of) but if that falls through, I’m next in line and it would be really cool to have my own place. I was actually a bit shaky about it at first, but the more I think about it, the more psyched I get about it. The greatest part is that I’m buying it out. Not just dumping money into an apartment leaving me with less than I started with when I decide to leave or move up.
If you remember the days back when Apple IIgs was hot shit, then you’ll be able to appreciate the Virtual Apple. This site has an active Apple II emulator with all the roms that I can remember from Middle-school. Check it out at www.VirtualApple.com.
Also, This weekend was a blast. The renaissance faire was a lot of fun. I wanted to go dressed in medieval clothing, however after looking for a good 2 to 3 hours for my shirt, I found out that my mother tossed it. I don’t mind her tossing my clothes, especially if it had gotten stained and skanky and couldn’t be cleaned properly, but it would have been nice to tell me so I could plan ahead or get another one!! Anyways, I did get another one which I think is actually a bit nicer. I’m also going to order a brown vest to wear over the shirt (which is green)
Pictures I took at the faire can be seen here.
I think just fell asleep on the phone with me. lol
Very dissapointed that the Cyclone wasn’t open today, but I did get to hang out at the New York Aquarium at Coney Island today. I headed out there this morning with Matt and his Fiance Jane, both up from Florida for the week.
Got lots of pics of the Seals, Walruses, Jellyfish, Penguins, Turtles, etc… Was fun, though there wasn’t any hands-on activities. While the animals were cute, it would have been nice to have the petting tank open and maybe made it to the shows 🙂 Our bad…
Otherwise it was interesting and fun….
Met up with Jen and Charlie for dinner at Croxley’s Ales. My fav bar on the Island with 79 beers on tap, I make it a point to try a new one every time I’m there. I had a “Rogue Dead Guy” tonight. Not bad… Funny coming from me, one who never drank beer before.
We headed to Donuts and went on an impromptu Geocache to give Matt another cache under his belt, and give Jane an into to the sport… We headed to Charlie’s cache located near Donuts, but C had the wrong coordinates in his GPS. The funny part is they brought us to a point that looked JUST LIKE the actual cache location. For a few minutes there we thought that the location was actually demolished. A quick call to got us the correct coordinates and Matt and Jane were able to find the cache rather quickly.
