I'm feeling more and more anxious to get out of New Jersey every day. I want to move somewhere far, for at least a little while. I want to have my own kitchen and my own bathroom. My own dishes and pans and cups. My own toilet, my own everything.
I'll bring Princess, and she will be a nuisance, but it will be OK. I'll find a place that has better sound proofing, so that if I shut her outside of a room I won't be able to hear her. And I won't have to worry about people "beating the shit out of her" while I'm not around. That's nice. Next time I'll beat the shit out of you.
Whoa, that got violent.
But seriously. I love my friends, my family, and I love New Jersey. I'm glad I grew up here. I just want out. It's too expensive to live here. Thousands of dollars so you can live in a shit hole apartment, with kids getting shot a few blocks away, drug dealers down the street, and fucking car break-ins every month or so. Oh, and you can't even fucking park next to your own home. Nice, eh?
My parents are in huge amounts of debt... I guess that's what it takes to live in a decent neighborhood in NJ... and my neighborhood at home has its fair share of fucked up individuals/murders/etc.
All this money getting sucked up by slumlords, and for what? Traffic, fumes, pollution, cystic fibrosis, toxic fish...
But seriously. I want to move. I'd love to go to London, or just outside of London, for a year. Maybe more. I want to go to China, and to Spain, and to Italy. I want to really get a feel for the rest of the world before I settle anywhere.
