Know where to run to

So recently I have been wondering about my living arrangements. They are nice...they are excellent actually because I am paying just $100 a month for food and being spoiled and taken care of. However, I am far from work...so far that the transit trip adds 3 hours to each day (well doesn't actually add 3 hours to it...I don't quite have the power to make my day 27 hours long...but that's the point...it therefore takes time away from other activities).

Recently my brother - who coincidentally lives in Vancouver way closer to where I work has started working with my cousin who lives in Cloverdale with us. So a bunch of people, which actually means just my mom and sister suggested I could switch places with him and live there and get some of those 3 hours back.

UNFORTUNATELY I would no longer be spoiled and I'd have to pay rent and my transit is free anyway and I want to save money for the fall when I will be moving in with some friends and I don't like the small amount of space in the house there and it may also be about to be sold by the landlord and I don't know if my brother really wants to keep working for my cousin yet.

BUT I do like the area and there is a nice park right by there and it would be good to live there in the summer and go swimming in the lake nearby and it so close to work and it is possible to make the early meetings and thus finish work early and it would be much more independent of me and I could afford it while I am working during the summer and it would get me off my lazy ass to do more for myself and see more of the city rather than the boonies and meet some new people not that I don't like the friends I already have.

I'm just crossing my fingers that the landlord actually is selling or my brother comes back from the job he's working on with my cousin in the Queen Charlotte Islands to decide he doesn't like it because then the decision will be out of my hands anyway. Then I will have an excuse. Is that stupid? WELL is it?

BUT it would be nice for my brother to actually have a job because he's had trouble finding one and it would be bad for my brother and my sister if they get kicked out of that house and I like run-on sentences wheeeeee.

I need a picture now...hmm...ok...here's my brother and sister in their most flattering poses:
