faulty figures.

THE OLDER I GET, THE MORE I FIND FAULT IN THE WORLD. PERHAPS “FAULT” MAY SEEM A BIT HARSH, BUT LET’S ALLOW A FEW MOMENTS OF RAW HUMAN EMOTION TO FLOW FROM MY FINGERTIPS (AS IF OTHER POSTINGS OF MINE ARE ANYTHING BUT RAW). THE LATEST LESSON LEARNED IN THE LIFE OF HALI LEVASSEUR WOULD BE: YOU CAN ONLY RELY ON GOD. NOT YOURSELF. NOT YOUR FRIENDS. NOT STRANGERS WHO GIVE YOU THEIR WORD. NOW, A STRANGER WITH A PROMISE COULD EASILY BE UNDERSTOOD AS AN INVITATION FOR A LET DOWN, BUT CALL ME A TRUSTING PERSON. A VULNERABLE PERSON. I THOROUGHLY ENJOY GIVING THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. SHOULD I HAVE STOPPED THIS GRACIOUS OUTLOOK ON THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD, AFTER MY 23 YEARS OF LIFE? PERHAPS SOME WOULD SAY SO, AND THE MORE THIS YEAR TICKS BY, THE MORE I WOULD SAY SO. ALAS, MY NATURE WON’T ALLOW IT. NOW THAT I HAVE YOU IN A COMPLETE STATE OF CONFUSION, LET ME PART THE CLOUDS AND SHINE THE SUN ON MY WORDS. THE PAST FOUR MONTHS HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE HELL HOLE AS FAR AS LIVING QUARTERS ARE CONCERNED. THREE ABODES LATER I AM CURRENTLY SEARCHING FOR A THIRD ROOMMATE FOR SARAH AND ME. I AM CURRENTLY STAYING IN AN EXTRA BEDROOM AT A FRIEND’S PARENTS’ HOUSE (WHICH I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THEIR GENEROSITY! DON’T BE MIS-UNDERSTOOD.) CALL ME HIGH MAINTENANCE, BUT I AM THOROUGHLY TIRED OF LIVING OUT OF ONE SUITCASE, AND SLEEPING IN A BED THAT IS NOT MY OWN. MY HEART SHATTERS EVERY DAY WHEN I HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAT IN A GARAGE FOR THE 4TH STRAIGHT WEEK IN A ROW. I AM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES BEGGING THE LORD TO PROVIDE US A HOME WHERE WE CAN MEANDER ABOUT AS WE PLEASE. I HAD 5 INTERVIEWS SET UP VIA CRAIGSLIST, BUT IN COMPLETE ACCORDANCE TO NASHVILLE’S EVER GROWING REPUTATION AS THE LAND OF FLAKY PEOPLE, FOUR OF THEM FAILED TO EVEN SHOW UP, AND THE FINAL GIRL BACKED OUT, AFTER GIVING ME HER WORD THAT SHE WAS READY TO MOVE IN, TWO DAYS BEFORE GOING TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX TO SIGN PAPERS. UNDOUBTEDLY, I HAVE ALSO PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD SEND ME MY HUSBAND, ALLOW US TO FALL MADLY IN LOVE IN TWO WEEKS, AND HAVE HIM PROVIDE US A HOME AND FINANCES BY THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NOT A SUITABLE MAN KNEELING BEFORE ME WITH A RING, THEREFORE I AM CONTINUING THE SEARCH - UNFORTUNATELY, ONCE AGAIN THROUGH CRAIGSLIST. THIS GO AROUND I WILL BE COMPLETELY FORWARD AND STERN WITH ANY INTERWEB POSTINGS PLEADING FOR A ROOMMATE. DUE TO THIS WHIRLWIND OF TRIALS, I HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND CALCULATE ALL OF MY FINANCES. IF I AM VERY CONSISTENT WITH MY MONEY, I WILL BE ABLE TO SET ASIDE, IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT, $75 A MONTH, AND AFFORD $150 MORE A MONTH FOR AN APARTMENT THAN I THOUGHT I COULD. THIS WOULD SADLY MEAN THAT ANY MORE SKYDIVING JUMPS, TATTOOS, OR SHOPPING SPREAS I HAD HOPED TO PARTAKE IN WILL BE A NO GO. TIME TO PRIORITIZE FOLKS. BUT I PROMISE YOU, IF AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET JIMMY FALLON ARISES, IT WON’T MATTER HOW MUCH BACK RENT I WILL RACK UP, IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SERIOUS SEGUAY: I NEED YOUR PRAYERS. “YOUR” REFERRING TO WHOEVER TAKES THE TIME TO READ MY RAMBLES. ANY WORDS FOR PROVISION, DISCIPLINE, AND PATIENCE THAT ARE SENT UP TO HEAVEN FOR ME WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THE KING OF ALL KINGS IS THE ROCK BENEATH MY SHABBY SHOES. THE FORTRESS AND ONLY HOME I NEED TO REST IN. HE HAS NEVER ONCE LEFT ME ALONE, AND IN THAT I NEED TO TRUST. ANYWHO FOLKS - I NEED TO SPEND LESS TIME WRITING ABOUT MY ISSUES AND SPEND MORE TIME GAZING OUT THE WINDOW OF FIDO AT THE GOOD LOOKING MEN WALKING PAST. HUSBAND? IS THAT YOU? (JUUUUST KIDDING, WE ALL KNOW MY HUSBAND IS JIMMY.)
