I'm out...

Aug 28, 2006 12:24

Yup, as of yesterday, I don't live with my parents anymore. It was kind of surprising to me, actually, I thought I had until like...Friday to finish packing etc...and just you know - prepare myself to actually move out of the house I've been living in for almost 22 years. But, no, my parents told me that they were expecting me out yesterday. So I ( Read more... )

Wow. Congrats:) When Sam and I came out here, we have to try to fit as much of our two rooms and the whole apartment into the grandparents' house. Now that I have my own apartment, it's a little better. Slowly your new place will be home...but nothing will ever really be home until you get your own house.

It's weird to grow up isn't it?

Haha, I really didn't know I had that much stuff. Well, I knew I had a lot of stuff, but I figured I'd be throwing away most of it...

Yes, it is REALLY weird growing up...it scares me, actually. To think...all those years are behind me, and the only option I have left is to go forward...to get older. For instance, I can't call my parent's house "home" anymore. Yeah, they say I'll always be welcome there, but exactly how welcome am I when they turn my room into a study? I think that's what scared me the most; because of them destroying my room, I know there's no turning back. I mean, yeah, even if they weren't doing that, it's not like I'd ever consider moving back there, but still...you know what I mean, right?

It's scary to look at yourself and realize that you're an adult now. Doors are closed behind me that were never closed before...

well if you're not attached to good old Polly anymore there are probably toy collectors that'd pay stupid amounts of money for your old stuff...

just something to consider since you're realizing how old you've gotten...*evil snickering*

plus it could be a monetary boon for ya...

Yeah, I was considering something along those lines...I really don't know how much someone would pay for those things though. I'm not sure I could sell them though...you know, memories and that sort of thing.
But at the moment, I'm not hurting for money, so I don't think I need to worry about it for right now. Get this - Derek's family isn't even charging me rent. I knew they liked me, but really...that surprised me! I asked how much they wanted from me for rent, Lori said she didn't want anything from me, and I offered again, but she still said no...not complaining though. Definitely not, means I can save up more money for when Derek and I get our own place eventually...
