So, Nate and I are still house hunting. We are very picky, so it may take awhile. Life would be so much easier if I could just win the lottery. Or find some obscure thing to sell on ebay (some guy is selling a paperclip, and like 20 people have bid on it- just a normal paperclip). People will buy anything. Ohwell. Since I have nothing to sell, I guess Nate and I will just keep looking. It is hard to find something we like, in our price range, and near my work. Makes me wish I could drive. Then we could at least expand our search. Oh well. If anyone out there knows of any houses or condos for sale within a 2 mile radius of Universal Studios, let me know! If you help me find a house, I will make you dinner! (Oh wait! I can't cook!) NATE will make you dinner! hahaha

So, Nate and I just met with our realtor and saw a place we like. Now it is just a wait and see thing. We have to talk to the bank and put in an offer and all that other crap. But, who knows? Maybe this time next month I will be in my new place. Wish me luck!

So, Nate and I going to buy a house, Or well, thats the plan anyway. We were all approved for a mortgage, and we found a house we want, so now if it all comes together, I will be the proud owner of property. And it is close enough to work that I can still work. And it is big enough that we have room for all of our out of town friends to come visit and stay with us. Wish us luck!!

Alright, so I realize I am way behing with this blog. Sorry All. I have just been so busy. But now (FINALLY) Grinchmas is over. Yeah, no more XMas music!!!! So, now things go back to normal. This week I have strike and restock. After that, who knows? Nate and I are looking for a new apartment, our place doen't allow pets and we want to get a dog. So, if anyone can reccommend an apartment in the Universal area that allows pets, let me know. The past few weeks have been pretty uneventful. Work, Work, Work, Sleep, then more work. I had to work xmas eve and xmas day, but I did get to see my family on the 26th. New Year's Eve I had to work during the day, but not at night. Couldn't go out and do anything too crazy though, I had to work at 8am the next day. So we just went to the movies (Phantom of the Opera, pretty good but the play is better) and watched the fireworks at work. The next night however we went to a party. It was funny cuz Nate and I were the only sober ones there, so we just sat back and laughed at the drunk people (How's that leg Damien? )
Anyway, that is about it. Nate went to Mardi Gras Auditions at Universal today, so hopefully I will get to see him at work sometimes. But, now, I got to. Lots to do. Need to take advantage of every day off I can get.

Okay, so I am typing this at Gia's house, so I will make it short. I have been super busy lately, but I have the next four days off. Yes, you read that right, I have four days in a row off! Amazing. But, I have to work both Christmas eve and Christmas Day. Yuck! Oh Well. The things I do for money. Anyway, Nate and I need to find a new place to live so we can get a dog, so if any of you folks know of either a condo or an apartment in the universal area that allows pets, let me know.
I finally sent out my holiday cards, so you all should be getting them soon. I am gonna go drink beer and play video games now. Bye!

I need medical insurance. I am not sick or anything. And I am only one one prescription, which I don't take very often. But when I do take it, Whoa is that some crazy stuff. I am on Ambien to help me sleep. One of the possible side effects is hallucinations. Yep, I thought there were garden gnomes living in my closet. I wasn't paranoid or scared or anything, but Nate sure found it funny when I was having a conversation with the closet and when he asked who I was talking to I replied "Tony. The garden gnome in our closet" like it was the most normal thing in the world. Now, I am sure I should inform my doctor that Ambien makes me hallucinate, but since I don't have insurance or anything, I can't afford to go to the doctor. Oh well. I don't take it very often, only when my schedule changes and I have trouble sleeping. But wow, if I had less ethics, I could probably make some good money selling this stuff. Anyway, today was opening day for both Grinchmas and Macy's Parade at work. It was kind of rainy, but everything went well. But, I got a busy weekend so Goodnight. Sweet Dreams! (or prescription-induced hallucinations, whatever)

I hate sending out mass emails, but there are alot of poeple I don't have addresses for to send out xmas cards. Oh well. I probalby won't be writng much over the next few weeks. Grinchmas will probably keep me pretty busy. As it is, this week sucks. Nate works days, and I have rehearsal at night. He gets home in time to drive me to work, then by the time I get home he is asleep. So, even though we live together, we never get to see each other. Oh well. It won't last forever. Once I get back to working days, things should get better. I hope everyone out there is doing well. I have been so out of touch with everyone. I never see anyone here in Orlando except Nate and the folks at work, and I rarely talk to anyone on tour except for the occasional drunk phone calls from folks on the road (Thanks Micah and the rest of D-20). Nate asked me what I want for xmas, but I don't know what to tell him. I hate the fact that my birthday is so close to xmas. I already got stuff, I would rather spread out the gifts. Oh well. I need new speakers for my computer, so I guess I will tell him that. I thought of asking for a necklace or bracelet to go with the ring he just gave me, but really, where the hell would I wear it? I am just not girly enough for much jewlery. Anyway, i will write when I can.
