Today I bought my first major appliance: a toaster oven. Its beautiful, it works, and it was only $20 at Target. Which also makes me think, I'm pretty much an adult. I've unofficially moved out of Hamden, and hopefully will never live there for an extended period of time again. Right now I'm living in what is essentially an apartment: I have a bed, a "seating area", a bathroom, and and food area. I'm working, and getting paid. I travel by myself, and budget my money to make sure I can do these things. I'm 19 years old, and I live in the Bronx, which I could not love more.
Which is incredibly sad, because I really want to be in the 17-19 age range for the rest of my life. I don't want to turn 20 next year, I don't want to get a job with more responsibility/stressful hours, but maybe with lots more pay. I could pretty easily go back to last summer and travel all over the place and live with the Johnsons in East Haven. But then again, I really can't. I would be so frustrated and bored if I had to live in my house in Hamden again. I need this independance, and I definetly could not go back to living at home now. I know everyone loves coming home for the summer, and I love Hamden to death for all the fun times I've had there, but I can't go back. Oh well.
Please come visit me. I'll make you a grilled cheese in my toaster oven.
