This Old House

[sassygurl]

Last year I moved from a one bedroom apartment to renting a room in a house. Sounds stupid, yes. But you haven't seen the house. It's a 100 year old Japanese style mansion build by famous architects. It's actually registered as a historic landmark and has a few books written about it. The house is old and in need of repair. But it's got this...

not much of a leo fan (still a boy in my eyes), but this is so exciting for you. yay! by the way, you're hilarious with your posts. very entertaining. i'm so jealous of your house.

Aww, thanks.

Wish I OWNED the house but I barely make enough to rent a room.

I'll try to put some pictures up later, to show how it looks. It's a really cool, interesting place. I'm glad I live here.

that'll be great. i love historic mansions and such.

Can I come visit you if that actually happens? You can keep Leo, I just want to see all those people working. (Christopher Nolan! Michael Caine!)

I'll even give you tips on how to talk about the Prius. (I understands Leo owns one, and I have yet to meet a Prius owner who couldn't talk about their car for hours.)

Sure, party at Sassy's!

If they DO actually shoot here, dude... all my friends are gonna "just so happen to be in the neighborhood," paying me a visit that week. *wink* I'm all about spreading the love.

How cool! I'd love to see pics of the house. Is this what you were begging your landlord about in the previous post?

[sassygurl]

Haha! Yeah. When he came home I totally attacked him. I attached to his ankle like a home arrest bracelet.

Sassy: "Pleeeeaaase, pleeeeaase! Think of the children!"

Landlord: [shakes his leg] "What children?"

Sassy: "My future children with Leo."

Landlord: "Oh, my goodness!" [calls for his girlfriend]

Girlfriend: [walks to the door] "Huh?"

Sassy: [attacks girlfriend's ankles] "Pleeeease! Just ONE meeting. At least let them come check out the house to see if it's what they need. I'll name our first born after you!"

He only agreed because he figured the extra cash from the shoot would be enough to replace my rent when he kicked me out. LOL!

The downside to living in an interesting, old house?

[sassygurl]

It's on the main street, near downtown. So every time there's a big event, like the Toyota Grand Prix back in April or the gay pride parade this weekend, (Which I don't mind too much, yay!) they shut down our street and we're either stuck away from or inside the house all weekend. And don't get me started on all the loud music the events blasts all hours of the day and night. Arrghh!

But the main downside is privacy and safety. Some folks like the house so much, they decide to just walk on up in it without asking. Seriously.

Like right now, there's a bunch of kids smoking a joint on my porch. Like just chillin'... On my porch. Smoking a joint. I'm like WTF?

How amazingly rude! I would definitely find it unnerving to find strangers at the house.
