Received the official offer from the buildingsociety for buying my apartment. As expected the real estate agent made a higher estimate than the one I used to apply for a mortgage, so I will have to go to the bank again to see if I'm worthy. I've also realized it's not just that loan that's going to change my financial situation; I also have to consider taxes (tax-returns?) and additional costs for ownership of a house. *sighs* I'm already tired of playing the adult.
Why are there no new Big Bang stories in the weekend? I could use the distraction. Although it's rather intimidating to see the art that has been made so far. Jeebus. Even if you're not in the SPN/J2 fandom, you should check out this artwork:
woodstarling made beautiful character cards for "A Spotlight On These Desolate Dreams" by
mournthewicked.
And
dauntdraws's glorious graphic drawings make me wish there was a whole comic of "SuperCross" by
lazy_daze.
The various Photoshop artists have suprised me in both good and bad ways. It's not in my nature to feel insecure about my work, but it has been a bit overwhelming to see all the different kinds of styles;) The only thing I am a tiny bit worried about is the pixelsize of my art. Since I usually work for high resolution printwork, size has always been an issue when making online designs, so to force myself to keep things LJ-friendly I am working with a 600 pixel width maximum for my banners. Seeing some people post HUGE artwork makes me wonder if I shouldn't have started out big as well. I really don't feel like building from scratch again. Oh well, the 'big' in 'bang' is really only meant for the wordcount of the stories, right? RIGHT? *bites lip*

Date: 2010-06-13 07:44 pm (UTC)I still have personal issues with getting into debt for a future that is far away, even at my age. From my perspective ownership will move from the buildingsociety to the bank, and when it comes down to it the bank can't help me if I need things fixed and the buildingsociety is only a call away if the pipes spring a leak. (I was taking a shower this morning, staring at the former hole in the wall and remembered how much fun that was).
I have a long weekend off next week, will spend my time figuring out finances and feelings. Woohoo.
