I never realized just how difficult it was to move.  I’ve never done it before with the exception of a few quick jaunts back and forth to and from athens in the residence halls.

This was completely different and much harder.

6:00 AM - Wake and begin packing

8:00 AM - Pick up U-Haul

8:15 AM - Couch and chair in U-Haul

8:20 AM - At home and beginning to load U-Haul

10:30 AM - U-Haul loaded

10:45 AM - U-Haul went to get gas

11:00 AM - Started up the road to my new apartment

11:45 AM - Started unpacking U-Haul

12:45 PM - U-Haul unloaded except for majorly heavy items

1:30 PM - U-Haul unloaded

1:30 PM - Cable guy comes in and sets up insight

2:30 PM - Take U-Haul back to drop off location

2:45 PM - Arrive at drop off location

3:30 PM - Finally get through the line and leave to get lunch

4:00 PM - Lunch

4:30 PM - Living room appointed

5:00 PM - Kitchen table and one chair assembled

5:15 PM - Parents left

6:00 PM - Went to the grocery store

7:00 PM - Home and groceries unloaded now relaxing

11:00 PM - Exhausted

U-Haul is the biggest ass rapeage i’ve had in a long time.  It cost $125 to get a truck for one way.

I’d write more but I can’t.

I am coming up on my birthday. Technically today is my birthday but as I was born later in the evening it’s not truly eclipsed yet.

I made one goal that I would be moved out of the house by the time I am 26. Well…. I almost met that goal. In six days I will be out and on my own.

Not a lot is happening with the birthday. I wanted to try and go out for drinks last night but no one seemed to gong ho. The typical birthday dinner with the family in about an hour.

I joked around with Ross this past week proclaiming that I had heard one of the most stressful times in your life is moving. I asked if there was something wrong as I’m not stressed out in moving nor am I stressed out with the idea of being twenty-six.

I’m hoping that this next year is when I begin to live life instead of watching it pass me by.

do I not get this?

Why are people are so enthralled with knowing what celebrity is gay? I mean I understand that it may validate some and further our acceptance if people were to just come out of the closet. But where do we limit what is private with celebrities and what deserves to be fair game?

I admit, I’ve been reading the celeb blogs and they have for years made mention upon mention of Lance being gay. They’ve gone to posting photos of him in gay bars and with his rumored boyfriend. I want to know exactly, how is that any of our business? I’m not friends with Lance and I am sure the bloggers are not either so what degree of authority do they have to discus his personal business?

If he’s gay good for him let him address it how he wants. Sometimes we can’t accept the fact that ultimately there is a level of privacy that we’re unwilling to accept with people.

moving day

I am a little under two weeks away from my first move into an apartment. I’ve been shopping and buying things as I go along. I never imagined just how expensive it is to furnish a home. The only thing I am missing right now is a lot of kitchen gadgets.

I called to have the electricity and the cable either turned on or switched over to my name.

I’m eleven days away and I am not really as scared or nervous as people believe I should. I am planning on having a welcome to the neighborhood party probably the first Saturday in August. My thought is that we do some pre-drinking and then head down to the gallery hop.

In a completely unrelated topic I am five days away from my twenty-sixth birthday.
