02/13/00

Right now I'm stuck in what you might call... moving hell? Thanks to help from a couple of friends, I only had to make 4 trips instead of some infinite number of trips back and forth between "old" apartment and "new" apartment. Everything is here, in my new home, my new apartment, my new spot to hang my hat.

My brain, however, is nowhere to be found.

It's good that my roommate isn't here this weekend, because chances are we'd be stepping all over each other, and he'd be dodging my boxes and piles of stuff.

Who ever knew that I could accumulate so much stuff? I blame it on coming from an entire family of packrats-- both sides of my family filled with people who save things just because they might need them someday. Imagine!

And I have tons of books, too. Actually the majority of them are still at my parents' house in Texas. But I have many with me as well.

And does anybody have the quantity of clothes that I have? I really don't think so.

And then there are, oh yeah-- the pillows, blankets (you can never have too many, right?), candles, and just absolute junk.

Oh, and the boxes of shoes. Boxes and boxes and boxes...

What in the hell was I thinking, moving again?

But then again, I love it here. I'm glad to be in a new neighborhood where I don't have to drive fifteen minutes to get to the nearest McDonald's. To get to the nearest ANYTHING.

Just down the street from me is Taco Bell, McDonald's, Boston Market, Papa Gino's, a couple of Chinese restaurants (always important!!), two grocery stores, CVS, ATM, blah blah... basically all the conveniences that I really want right around me, just like I wanted.

I'm closer to Boston. I'm farther from work. But I'm looking for a new job (shh! don't tell them yet)...

I could go on forever, I'm definitely in babble mode right now. But I just wanted to take a break from the move-in frenzy and chill out online for a while. Oh yeah, and it's 2am, and I have to work 12 hours today. Whatever. A couple of days of being tired won't kill me. I went to college, after all! That was like 5 years of 'being tired.' I think I can handle a couple of days...

And besides, I'm on vacation next week. Woo hoo!

Ok, good night. Although I probably won't find my pillows until sometime Tuesday, so who knows when I'll be sleeping!
