so, that moving thing? what a pain in the fucking ass. not only is buying new furniture and all the other necessities a major expense, but it turns out the apartment is pretty big. funny how i get to the point where i think that my apartment is too big.
the kitchen, head, and dinette actually work out really well and are squared away. but then...
i get a full size mattress. oh hey, there's still plenty of room in the bedroom. nightstand? bookshelf? desk? it's not like i can leave all that empty space.
i get a nice, retro sofa bed. oh hey, the living room is still fucking spacey. do i get a coffee table? a television? bookshelf?
argh.
and then there's decorations?
double argh!
but the place is livable as of now, nice and warm. i can't wait to take advantage of that fireplace.
and i feel good that i've paid for everything on my own, with no credit cards or loans to worry about.
i have one more day of "moving in" tomorrow, and then i go back to california. right now going back to california is going to be an issue, especially with the apartment needing a little more work and now with my orders listing my report date as a couple of days sooner than i was told.
so yeah, just how i like my leave. nice and stressful.
pictures of the apartment and graduation soon...

I love how you call it the "head" though, in true military fashion. It's cute =)
So, when I was dating this guy in the Marines, I went to the Beaufort, SC MCAS for a month to visit him. I was staying with him in the barracks (totally illegal, but everyone above him that knew were actually pretty cool about it), and one night we were hanging out in one of his friends' rooms, and I asked the guy, "hey, is it cool if I use the head real quick?"
He was totally flabergasted that some non-military girl used the right term, and mentioned it every time he saw me after that. True story.

But although it's murder on the ole wallet, I love having new spaces to cram next to useless crap I don't need.
WOW. That sounded bad.
