kittydesadeЕсли сравнить этом дом с домом, где я живу, то сразу видно большую разницу. У Рамосов пять комнат на двух этажах: три спальни, большая гостиная и столовая, а также огромная кухня и подвал. Это не подвал в нашем обычном понимании -- тёмный и мокрый. Их подвал -- это практически вторая гостиная. Правда в этой комнате нет окон, но всё равно это довольно уютное место. В комнате стоят кресла и диван и даже раскладушка для гостей. На полу лежит пушистый ковёр. В одном углу стоит стол для пинг-понга, но я пока не играла.
If [one?] were to compare this house with the house where I live, immediately one can see a great difference. [Conditional marker] [verb: infinitive] [indicative article] [direct object] [instrumental particle] [noun object: instrumental case] [prep phrase locative?: (subject, verb)] [adverbial phrase] [verb... can't remember what this is called] [adjective: accusative] [predicate noun: accusative]
The Ramos's have five rooms in two floors: three bedrooms, a big dining and sitting room, also a huge kitchen and cellar. [Subject: noun phrase in genitive indicating possession] [implied possessive/copula verb] [cardinal number adjective] [predicate object? noun] [prep phrase: (preposition, cardinal number adjective, noun)] [cardinal number adjective] [predicate noun] [adjective] [predicate noun] [coordinating conjunction] [predicate noun] [... bleh, I have no idea what the grammar term for 'also' is... coordinating conjunction?] [predicate adjective] [predicate noun] [coordinating conjunction] [predicate noun]
It is not a cellar as we usually understand it -- dark and wet [Indefinite article subject] [implied copula verb] [negative particle] [predicate noun] [prepositional phrase: (preposition: in, possessive pronoun, adjective, noun object of preposition)] [predicate adjective] [and] [predicate adjective]
Their cellar is practically a second living room. [Possessive pronoun] [noun subject] [implied copula verb] [adverb? it describes the state of being? so it's an adverb] [ordinal number adjective] [predicate noun]
Ugh. Parsing still difficult and time consuming. Useful! But difficult and time consuming. On the plus side, that was a little easier than before, maybe I'll do another paragraph or two later. If I remember. I always say that and it never happens, at least until the next appointed hour.
You know what else is difficult? Sorting through clothes and getting rid of a grocery bag full of clothes that I used to love and want to get back into but either can't or probably won't because I don't have an occasion to wear it anymore. And I know they were just cluttering up my dresser and my closet, I haven't worn any of that in years, literally since before I moved down here, but it still feels like a failure or giving up in some ways. Even if I wasn't giving up anything I was actually using. On the other hand, now I have room for the clothes I do wear to sit neatly without falling over everything the moment I grab for something to wear, my summer clothes are packed back up (when we move I should invest in vacuum bags) and I have room for a couple pairs of jeans and some real grown-up sweaters.
'cause apparently that's the reward for cleaning up my clothes like a grown-up. Being dressed like a barbie doll. Having a talk about my personal style and deciding that I need:
Cowl-neck t-shirts and sleeveless shirts
Boat neck long-sleeved shirts, maybe.
To look into wearing my belt
Rock star bracelets/bracers
T-shirts with the collar cut off a la 80s
Real grown up sweaters, simple small rib knit, very Prentiss from Criminal Minds
Jeans, jeans, and more jeans
Arm warmer bases that I can sew rags onto to make it look like I have rag wraps
And the more I think about it, the more I think that sounds about right. Wandering around in goth gear was all right when I was in college, LARPing, going to clubs and such, but I'm not doing so much of that anymore. So what I need are staples in colors that blend well with jewelry and can have other kinds of bangles and straps and things attached to it, but that I can wear without all the ornamentation if I want to be simple and plain, and that will still look good on me. ... Yeah. That works.
One thing I am definitely looking for, that I might have to commission someone to specially make, is a set of handstar finger picks. Or something, somehow combining finger picks with hand jewelry over the back of my hand. Apparently with all the punk, goth, death metal, hard rock rockers out there there are no places I can find on the internet that have these things. Oi.
Sigh, too, I should have known I wasn't going to get to sit down at a bank this week. Between the boy's crazy schedule and my retail hell over the Christmas season it's just not happening. On the plus side, the boy gets made permanent soon, so that'll be added incentive, and maybe next week there will be a little less panic and a little more time. I finally got all my printouts of all my information, so there's that. Hell, if we're very lucky we can start looking for houses and at banks at the same time. Maybe. Ugh. Time, too much crap to do in terms of running around the town and not enough time.

Man, I get so impatient with belts. Even after Guerrero's belt-knives.
One thing at a time. After boy stabilizes.

Date: 2011-12-15 03:12 pm (UTC)I go through phases of wearing belts and then not wearing belts. I'm not entirely sure why, it just happens. I didn't remember to put it on this morning, though. No belt buying until I know I'll actually wear it and feel good with it.
Yesh. Oi. Everything is so goddamn complicated.

Date: 2011-12-15 03:47 pm (UTC)*nods* ... actually, I think I'd gotten myself nearly trained with belts (thanks, losing weight and loose pants) before I fell last winter. And then lmfao I dropped anything like that on account of, I needed help to get dressed? So I was making it maximum easy for everybody. So the belts... never got picked up again. Hopefully I'll go back to loose clothes?
Because then you feel all the more accomplished when you do it! After the exhaustion wears out, I mean.

I don't know what's with... no, I do think I know what's with the fashion industry as far as belts are concerned, they just take good things and go way too far with them. But, yeah, belts can be cool. Unless you're like my aunt and don't like anything that hugs your body too closely.
Ooofgh. I'm ready for the exhaustion to wear off now. Any day now.

Date: 2011-12-15 05:16 pm (UTC)My problem with belt isn't that - it's that I, um. Tend to not go to the loo until it's bordering on urgent. And having one more thing to undo - such as the belt - can be problematic. Other than that, I do like to feel the tightness. Helps remind me not to stuff myself >.> (Not that I do, but, you know.)
Are you getting a proper weekend this week?

Date: 2011-12-15 05:19 pm (UTC)Ahh-heh. No, I don't do that either, so, easier for me. And yes. Belts are very good for that. No, not normally, but if you're going out for a dinner or something, it's nice to have that reminder that splurging doesn't mean really binging.
Guh. I think so, yeah. For once. That'll be nice. Still not sure if I'm going to end up working Christmas Eve day, though, so, argh.
