Vortexia's Secret

(I posted this a few days ago, but for some reason it didn't go
through. here it is late. and the internet still hasn't been fixed.
hopefully tomorrow sometime. sorry to have been away for so long.)

i'm almost home. i think i'm going to try to get away this afternoon
or tonight. at the latest it'll be tomorrow morning. and i hope to
goodness the cable's back on at the apartment. i have many posts
written on paper that i need to transfer. no, i didn't forget about
those. i'll try to put dates with them so you aren't totally lost.

so last night mayhem and i discussed financial issues a little. and
whether he will be getting a car or an apartment. i stressed to him
that he needed to find a daily beater that only has to last 6 months
in addition to getting the apartment because otherwise we won't see
much of each other. he's going to try. we also discussed how
financial things will work when we're married. supposedly his dad
will teach both of us how to do taxes this year. but i'm not holding
my breath... his dad is the type who files 2 extensions just because
he doesn't feel like starting them yet. and i'll pay the bills... the
day they come in as long as we have the money in the bank account.
most of the money will go in a shared pot for checking and savings,
but we can have our own little rainy day accounts for personal
expenses. if he wants a new gaming system, it will come out of his
account. if i want to treat myself to a massage, it will be from my
account. theoretically this is how it will go down at least. we will
save most and only spend a little because, like i mentioned earlier,
we are both more the saving type. we're going to look for more
questions about finances and other issues that we want to discuss
sometime soon. i mean, if we fall apart asking a few simple
questions, then he may as well spend that $200 and forget the ring.
so i figure it's a good thing to cover some of that ground early.

well i think that's about it. hopefully the next post will be from
the repaired internet connection at my apartment. cross your fingers
for me!
