Moving...
So Nick faeshale and I are moving before the end of this month into the house of Fritter fritterfae and JD dmlaenker to cut on costs and the fact we spend a fair amount of our time there anyway. Now I have lived in our current space for 5 years now. I haven't lived anywhere this long since I lived in Arlington and I moved there at age 13. I'm now 27... Almost 20% of my time on Earth have been in this 12x10 room which I have had sex in, argued in, cried in, loved in, hated in, did spells in and all that. The point: I'm slightly attached. We were packing today and it was EASY far easier than either of us expected it to be. I had to go through books and decide which we're taking with us to this smaller space and which are going into storage til the 4 of us find a bigger place. I'm sorta of a hoarder it's part of my addictive personality. But the fact I can go these can go into storage is great. some of them I'm honestly ready to get rid of... But I think that'll be a later decision. The hard decision now is my comic books.. I own well over 700 comics... Most of which I doubt i will ever read again.. So what's the point in keeping them? But they're hard to get rid of either.. it's a very expensive habit... The other things i have that i don't know how to get rid of is stuff from my childhood. I have trophies from my soccer days, badges from my Boy Scout days and Baseball cards from youth in general... What does one do with these things? Does one get rid of things that are part of his youth in the quest of maturity or does one keep them as reminders of innocent days gone past in the harsh reality that is adulthood? Sorta of my dilemma right now.. I wondered why it was so easy for me to do this and Nick reminded me of when we destroyed the monstrousity of a bookcase i used to have and it was majority of what tied me down here. These bookcases are new and it's one of our first furniture purchases TOGETHER. It's not something that's mine it's OURS. The only thing of my old furniture I'm bringing is my bed cause it's a bed. I think we finally find the bigger place we'll get a new bed for US. It's nice to know life is growing in the sense of coupledom and togetherness.
