January 16th, 2002:

Because I am psychotic, when I get an idea in my head… I go a little nuts. I have started to research as many people as I can find that live at “Park on Rosemeade”.

So far I have found a few. For instance, there is a girl named Tammy. She graduated high school the same year I did, and attended college in Ohio. She writes poetry, is a Christian, and currently runs her own company, currently unnamed, that specializes in custom database and spreadsheet design. Additionally, if you come up with a name for her company, she’ll give you $20.

Another individual either owns, or is involved in a partnership with people who own, a advertising design firm. They do everything from websites, to T-shirt design and claim clients such as American Airlines, Verizon, Justin Boots, Young Life, Oracle and many, many more. And just to be special, their website doesn’t have a “Webmaster”… it has a “Web Director”.

Loretta was the Vice President of a family association for which her last name did not match in 1999.

Another individual by the name of Steve works as an independent music copyist… whatever that is.

A lady named Linda was the editor of the Texas Lotus users newsletter in 1999.

Another individual by the name of Erin attended ACU and is a GATA (Girls Aiming Towards Achievement) member (as of 1996) and currently works for the Carrollton/Farmers Branch School District.

Another individual seemingly runs a Limousine service from his apartment there.

It’s time to go home now. I’ll find more later.

I have selected several apartments that are suitable for me. Some cheaper, some smaller, some closer to Plano, some closer to Irving. I have listed the pros and cons of each of them and now with that information, it’s time to make some phone calls and go visit some. However, before I do, I thought I might get some input from you, my dear readers.

This one is odd. Something about it seems very cool. But I don’t know what.
I get a feeling that if we were to find a Rancho Cucamonga, it would be here.
I really am going to have to check this one out.

I have found five others that are, in one way or another, acceptable… however, I’m not sure what kind of area they are in, so I have left them off of this list until I have a chance to drive over there and see if I would be willing to live there. I am a snob. So what.

So.. if you have time, and would like to offer feedback, just browse around. The site I am linking to for the floorplans isn’t that great, but it sure beats using the rent.net/homestore.com/springstreet.com conglomerate.
