Last week, out of sheer boredom of lack of inspiration for the new novel I have just begun, I placed a personal add. The response throughout the following days proved to be very remarkable. There was some very odd ones ("Please respond so I know this isn't a sham") to the straight forward ("I will be your muse and for this one special occasion, you can be my hoe") to the downright nasty (I saw pictures that I was never expecting to see). I find the whole situation to be very remarkable as I put very little information about myself on the site. It made me think that there really are a lot more men looking for love anywhere than I had expected.
As I returned from my trip to the home that I am now living in, I was hit by the demanding need for a beautiful surrounding. I had inherited this home in an area which a very good friend of mine affectionately calls 'crack town' and I have fallen in love with it. From the dilapidated porch, to the pain chipping off the leaning turret. Everything about my house screams for me to reach into the depth of my heart and bring it back to life. It was like love at first sight, but without all of the nauseating consequences of unreturned love. My house loves me back, I can just feel it.
I met my neighbor today. Her same is Sadie and she is a very intriguing character. I absolutely adored her style (I have termed it new-age-hippie). She gave me a number of a man she knew who spends his time fixing old houses. I think I will call him tomorrow and hope that h absolutely e will see the picture that I have for my home. He may have to look very hard, but if he the right man, it should be as simple as opening a carton of milk.
I left a plate of grapes next to my computer and I feel the aroma is starting to inspire me, so until next time....
