not quite accurate, but close enough...
Living with a handyman has the drawback of not having to do any handyman work yourself... on the other hand, dating someone who has roommates that are not handymanishly inclined, gives room for one to be a little handy...
Yesterday, I shopped in the hardware section, gave some advice on small projects, installed two blinds, and finally changed a light switch and power outlet (both with the power still on, causing the other folks minor agitation over my health) and felt like a faggy version of Red Green, minus the suspenders and duct tape...
While I can't say they found me handsome, I am content with the fact I was considered passably cute and moderately butch...
In other news, my poor rotting-into-rust car is two steps closer to being replaced... a few friendly folks from home have a '92 Eagle Talon for sale (in near mint condition I might add...) that I may just be able to afford... owner is a mechanic and has kept the car in immaculate condition... my brother loved it and his only comment was, "You'll have to take off that sticker if you buy it." Just ahead of the gear shift is a big sparkly pinkish sticker that says, "BAD GIRL"... I didn't have the heart to tell him that was one of my favorite features ;)
Now if I can save the rest of the money I need, it may just work out... otherwise, it'll be the first half-decent automobile I happen to find before winter rears its ugly head...
