I <3 teh internets
Today I've been going from one blog that I read when I remember to another and clicking on every single link to equally awesome and random blogs and have spent the last 5 hours doing nothing but going through every page on every website that I open.
I think I'm totally in love with the internet.
I'm a little creepy and I love looking at other people's houses, particularly at night when the windows are open as you drive past and it's like seeing animals in their native environment in the wilds of Africa. Then somehow, and seriously I really can't even recall how I found this blog but it is pure awesome, I found this website, LovelyListing
I'm in love. Seriously. For a total house perv like me, this is the ultimate. Be warned though, it's not for the faint of heart. These aren't your standard houses like your neighbours have. No this site contains real estate listings of the serious WTF kind! For instance, today I have seen a perfectly normal looking house from the outside with an inside that looks like zombies with hammers have had at it, a creepy serial killers crack den complete with inbuilt torture dungeon , a house you certainly don't want to take any psychotropic drugs in and several places that I can't even believe real estate agents have the gall to advertise like this little gem here! Do yourselves a favour if you do go visiting this site and click through to the original agents listings, seriously that last one they want $379,000 for! WTF? I wouldn't give you a bag of chips for that heap of shit, I'd be afraid some big gang dude will snuff me.
Those last two pieces of ridiculousness were both Australian listings too. Actually most of the seriously weird shit had come from Australia or New Zealand. Hardly surprising given I read a statistic somewhere that we're in first and second place for heaviest consumption of cannabis worldwide.
I may never sleep again. Seriously, those are some pretty way out "residences". I remember when me and my wife were looking for a place to rent a few years back... one of the places we checked out was an old Queenslander that was going dirt cheap, rentwise. Well, we found out why pretty quickly. The floors did not meet the walls. We couldn't believe it! You wouldn't even pay monopoly money to rent a place like that. You'd have a constant stream of who knows what getting in, and tromping and crawling all over your face while you sleep! Bleh. No thanks.
Oh my, I think I know the place you mean, I rented it! :)
The floorboards didn't meet up, the back railing fell off one day, there was no paint on the house at all, the windows didn't close properly, the driveway and carport were completely unuseable and the whole house shook if you walked with a bit too much enthusiasm.
That's what you get when you choose to live with your friends, none of whom had a job :/
