Apartment Living

Well, it's official now. Me and Sam are moved into our new place, and are now living on our own! It's pretty freaky, but the longer I'm here, the more it seems like it's not so bad. I'd like to thank everybody who helped me along my journey, whether it was help with material things, or just with your kind words! It's all greatly appreciated, and you've all assisted me in more ways than you know. Thank you, I couldn't have done this without you!

Our fridge is finally filled! It looked pretty pathetic when we first got here, but now we have food so all is well with the world! ^_^ Oh, and I'm totally stealing internet from my neighbors, and the connection is GREAT, so maybe me and Sam won't have to buy internet! We still don't have much furniture, but that's alright. I always liked the floor better than chairs anyway! Tori (my parakeet for those of you who don't know) has been introduced to his new home. He was pretty upset on the drive up, but once I got him into his cage and he saw his mirror (his best friend) he was pretty content! I think he'll do alright, although our relationship has pretty much gone back to square one. I think the 3 months I was gone made him forget who I was, so now he's scared of me. But, with a little interaction everyday he should calm down again.

I walked to Wal-Mart all by myself (at night too) and didn't get abducted! That's always a good sign; although I did talk to Miya the entire way, thanks for keeping me safe sis!

Now for the next step, finding a job. I'll try to keep you all updated on any opportunities I come across. I hope I can find a job somewhere other than in retail (those hours in the university bookstore were killer, and I'd rather not go through it again if I can help it) but I suppose I can't be too picky at a time like this. A boring, crappy job is better than no job at all! Anyway, that's about all for now.

"Owl City" is so relaxing! I've been listening to him whenever I feel stressed, and he really helps! He reminds me a lot of "Death Cab for Cutie", so I know Shawna (and probably Miya too) would like him. Check him out if you get a chance.

So close, and yet, so far!

My current obsession (if you've spoken to me, or been around me recently, then you know what I'm talking about, so there's no need to tell you what it is) is only 16 1/2 hours away from me! But, even with it being so close, there's no way I'd ever be able to reach it! Why must obsessions be so torturous!!??
