friday five

because today is an unusally busy day for me -- who usually doesn't have places to go -- here are my answers to the friday five:

1. How many houses/apartments have you lived in throughout your life?

gods, too many, i think. one house in mosiertown, pa until 1981. one house in pillow, pa until 1986. one house in morrisdale, pa until 1991. during my time in college, one dorm room at the university of maryland. two dorm rooms at edinboro university of pa. one dorm room at cedar point in sandusky, oh. two apartments in philipsburg, pa from 1994-1995. one apartment in state college, pa from 1995-96. one apartment in port matilda, pa from 1996-97. one apartment in riverdale, georgia from 1997-98. one apartment in atlanta, ga from 1998-2001. and now, our current house in marietta, georgia from april 2001 until now. yikes. 14 places in 30 years.

2. Which was your favorite and why?

with all of that, who could remember... well, i liked different places for different reasons. where we are now, is probably my favorite. i like where we live, even though i don't love the house itself as much as i did when we first moved in.

the most interesting place we've lived, was in port matilda in pa. our apartment was on the top of skytop mountain, just outside state college, pa. it was above a porn shop and a strip club. it afforded us with fun people watching from our deck, as well as amusing stories to relate, even years after living there.

3. Do you find moving house more exciting or stressful? Why?

it is a combination of both for me. i'm weary of having to move all our stuff (too much stuff) anywhere else. the new place has to be much more worthwhile, to commit to an undertaking such as moving all of our stuff out of one place and into another. unless i find another place really appealing, i'm sure we won't be moving soon. i hope. :)

4. What's more important, location or price?

again, it's a combination. we've both spent a lot of time commuting since living in and around atlanta. here, location is a premium you pay for, in either time or money. it would be nice for us to live closer to wallace's work, but i have thought more about the actual place... especially since i am in it all the time, as i'm still not working outside our home office.

5. What features does your dream house have (pool, spa bath, big yard, etc.)?

i obsess over this occasionally. and, i seem to constantly change my mind about what i would want in a dream house. right now, i'm between two scenarios.

the first one is a big log cabin out in the middle of nowhere, preferably near mountains and water... with big open rooms, big windows, a fireplace, a spa-like bathroom and a fabulously equipped kitchen.

the second one is large warehouse/loft kind of space in a medium sized city, above a coffee house we would run, and above office space for our design firm. this place would also include big windows, spa-like master bathroom and fabulously equipped kitchen.

oh, and both of these places must have high-speed internet available or whatever better thing comes along by the time we are able to have such a place.
