Apartment?
Darin Gasperson
generation x people.
What do you look for when you get ready to rent an apartment? What is
it to you? Do you look upon it as a permanent home or just a stepping
stone to the next, better place? What amenities do you look for? What
kind of people do you look for? I realize that your answers will vary
quite a bit.
Post your answers here or send me email. Thanks.

Say, is that a one-way mirror?
I prefer stalactites in my apartment. I'm not tall, so it doesn't bother me,
but I get a kick out of seeing my tall guests duck all the time.
And the bat guano really adds to the ambience of the place.

I'd like them to be permanent, but I always end up having to move when
the owners come back from vacation and find me there.

Abandoned buildings, dark alleyways, "armed response" signs on what
businesses remain.

I look for lots of strung-out junkies passed out on the street. This is
usually a sign that suggests that I'll be able to find a crackhouse -- or
a heroin dealer at the very least -- somewhere within easy walking
distance.

i found this amusing in the original post, mostly because y'all is used
incorrectly in the sentence. (saying "you generation x people" would be
the correct term, or even "y'all generation-xers" but the response ...
> Well, y'all get ready for my answers.
now, i would normally let this pass, but i'm not sure whether you really
intended to use it as second person collective, or as second person
singular.
i sincerely hope that you are using this as the second person collective
plural; this is how it is correctly used. y'all (though it is a bit
hick) is much easier than saying "all of you people" or even <shudder>
"youse guyze".
but i live in texas, so i'm a bit biased. :)

Y'all is one of my favorite words, one I use on a very regular basis, but
only in the second person collective plural. I get a lot of comments about
it, but since I've lived in both Virginia and Florida (near the Alabama
state line), I come by it honestly.

I was intending to show off just how American I've become since that
Greensboro summer. Don't tell me I need to go back and learn some more,
because hell no, I won't go. And y'all can quote me on that.

Oh, feh. *I* live in Texas, and I know for a fact that "y'all"
can be used for either singular or plural.
Now, "all y'all" -- *that's* definitely plural!

I look at my finances first, find out what kinda price range I'm looking
for and then begin looking in apt. guides and the newspaper (I've have done
this many, many, many times!!)

?

Usually a stepping stone, I always try to never go back to the same
situation or condition that I came from. I started off in a foul lil
studio apt, then I moved up in class and space (I got a boyfriend :) ) toa
one bedroom mid-class apt., then I just now moved up to a luxury one BR apt
with my fiance (my boyfriend) :) and next we'll go to a duplex/townhouse
or house to rent, and then another 5 years down the road I foresee a real
house of our own.
> What amenities do you look for?
Washer/Dryer or at least the hook ups. Now that I'm spoiled in my luxury
apt, I have to have a dishwasher and disposal too :) I like our bathroom
setup also with separate shower and bath facilities with two sinks. Also
*I* love having a balcony!!
> What kind of people do you look for?
I used to not even care in the beginning. But now, I know that you need
someone that is gonna be there. I usually don't like brown-nosing people,
cuz i'm not *high-class* but when I need maint. done to my apt. I expect it
to be done, and done right, and I don't want to have to feel like it's a
burden on them - it's their job, not mine.

*AHEM* but *I* live in Kentucky, and since all of America deems us the #1
Hick state, and also since we're the only state that promotes a water tower
with "Florence Y'all" on it (It used to say Florence Mall, but they had to
change it) then I believe it should be up to us to decide how it is used.
Here in Kentucky, it is used in every way possible. Including the way that
the original poster used it.

I think, on account of sheer numbers, CA should be defined as the #1 Hick
state. :P
No one could really get upset at this distinction, as no one is actually
born in CA, are they?

Speaking in the vernacular doesn't necessarily imply that there's an El Camino
on blocks out'n fronna th' trailer. Although it's critical to be clear in the
written language you use; standards are somewhat relaxed for spoken language.
That's not an opinion as much as it is a reality. While I wouldn't write
"y'all" in anything with any degree of formality, I certainly use it in
every-day speech.

Which is best used by a great aunt or grandmother calling you and your 25
cousins in for lunch, as in "All y'all come inside and wash your hands."
Nobody ever believes me when I mention that y'all does have a plural, and that
this is it.
My other favorite Texas-ism is that all sodas are "cokes." When somebody asks
if you want a coke, they don't necessarily mean a Coca-Cola.

Growing up, I used "coke" and "soda" interchangeably. When I went to
school in the midwest, suddenly it was pop, pronounced "pahp". It's also
pop here in the northwest. I still catch myself saying "coke" when I mean
some other soda.

I love the way Texans pronounce things.
"Manor" is pronounced "May-ner" (as opposed to "mah-nor").
As a fresh transplant to Texas from the Mid-Atlantic area, I was chatting
with another non-native-Texan who also noticed this screwy pronunciation,
with an emphatic: "Who ever heard of Stately Wayne Mayner?"
Heh.

My Michigan-raised mom used to call colas "coke", but all sodas were called
"pop". It wasn't until we moved to California that I realized most people didn't
use the word pop to describe carbonated drinks.

And Waco is "way-ko". And Llano is "lan-oh". And Austin is
"the land of the commie-pinko-faggot liberals". ;-)

Heh. I remember asking someone for directions to the "Man-cha-ka"
Public Library. Their first response: "You're new around here,
aren't you?" (Apparently the popular pronunciation is "Man-shack"
which was odd to me since the spelling was "Manchaca".)

I'm working on it. I was riding through a small town with a few Texas
friends a few weeks back and we stopped to get something to drink ... one
of the people I was with asked where we could find a cafe or store and the
guy who answered was, to me, totally unintelligible ... my Texas friends
understood him, though.

Unless you have (like I do) tons of capital losses from previous years.

Hey, if the rest of you want to appoint me the official net.cop of asgx,
with a salary to match, I'll give out net.spankings to anyone who needs
'em. But it's not like I haven't given Austin his share of
tongue-lashings, and in this case he was provoked by Kerry, who followed
up a rather innocuous statement of Austin's with probably the rudest thing
I've ever seen him write. Since it's his first offense, I'm overlooking
it. ;)

Huh? Having grown up and attended college in and around Dallas, I can
safely ask "wha-chu-talkin'-bout, Willis?" Dallas was always too busy
worrying about its social and business standing to worry about the rest
of the state.
FWIW, the pronunciation of "San Antonio" is "Saan-Tone-Ya." That's how
my relatives from South Texas say it. That's how people in Austin, Houston
and the Panhandle say it. You may find people dropping the "ya" part,
which must be where the confusion is.
Honestly, I've never heard anybody who wasn't in a made-for-TeeVee
movie say "San Antone"; I mean, when discussing the Alamo, have you
ever heard anybody actually say "Santa Anna"?
(Yes, people still talk about the Alamo. The battle, not the building.)
The Mes-kins were always led by San-anna. Except in Texas History class,
where you were supposed to pronounce things more correctly.
> -f, remembers a common sentiment that Dallas didn't really belong to the
> Lone Star State...
Dallas is a freaky place, but not the freakiest place I've ever lived. It's
very clean place, almost hermetically sealed. My favorite Dallas story is
that when they built the new art museum downtown, the designer started
chiseling the name of the place into the stone and discovered that the space
alotted wasn't going to be enough for all the letters.
So they changed the name.
Texans are funny people. *They* are allowed to say things about
That Woman Uncle Joe Bob Married, Who Thinks She's Better than Everybody
Else; but outsiders, including members of military families who had
the privelege of living in the State for a few years, had better call
her Miz Violet Anne, lest all hell break loose.
It's not a double standard, exactly; it has more to do with investment
in a place. Bringing this back around to topic, I wonder if we'll find
that to be true as Americans become more nomadic.
For instance, I grew up in Dallas and have lived in Washington DC for
several years. It's hard to feel any kind of ties to the DC Metro area,
because the nature of the area is that people live here for four years,
and that all your neighbors move out at election time.
But neither Manhattan nor Seattle felt much like home either. I guess I
don't buy the whole "home is where you hang your hat" ethos.
I guess what I'm saying is that a lot more people transplant
themselves to follow the job market now. And it's difficult to put
down new roots into nothing, when in the back of your mind you're
thinking that you'd do it all again for the right job or opportunity.

Even though I grew up and presently live in Texas,
the most amusing town name that I've seen was in Tenessee. Two friends
of mine and I were driving to a wedding in Michigan (yes, from Houston). I
had finally given over the wheel to my then-boyfriend at about midnight
for his shift, and was attempting to sleep (not an easy thing for me in a
car). I had finally dropped off into something resembling slumber in spite
of occasional sleep deprivation giggle fits, when they let out the most
excruciating howls of laughter I've ever heard from two people. I shit
you not - the town we passed was called Bucksnort. We giggled about that
for the rest of the trip, told the people at the wedding about it ( they
had similar reactions), and got memorabilia on the way back to prove that
the place did, in fact, exist.
