Moving updates!
Sam and I were approved for the apartment, pending background check. But neither of us have committed a criminal offense so we're all good on that end. Sam's going to drop off the security deposit on Monday. Hooray! After that I'll slowly begin packing up my room, and in the coming weeks we'll but various housewares and furniture.
I'm surprisingly chill about this whole thing. Once the bills start rolling in I'll probably be all "WHY DID I DO THIS" but then I'll get used to it. Excited! My mom is pretty happy for me, too. Haven't told my dad (who's never home) yet. If it were up to him we'd all live in this house together forever. But I need to start out on my own sooner rather than later. Growing up!
Here's another story for you all:
This morning I was emailing the ladies at Mainstay Publishing in regards to having my monthly paycheck from them sent. I told them my address was 132 [my street name here] in Bear. One of the ladies (the writer) then told me that she used to live at 134 [my street name here], right next door! I think she was already out of high school when we moved here 15 years ago, because she looks to be in her early 30s now. Her parents had divorced six or so years ago, and I told her than when her mom moved out of the house she gave us some old, retro board games like Monopoly and Scrabble. They used to be hers.
So I'm illustrating a book for my former next-door neighbor.
Small world.
