clean the fridge to free your *soul*

*waves goodbye to Pawtucket House of Couch*

Well, *will* wave goodbye once all my stuff's in the car, but that requires unhooking my computer.

I have cleaned this apartment within an inch of its life, and it looks all shiny and new now. With the exception of maybe an hour late last night when I was all but I started this a week ago why the crap is it still not done!? Oh, because I have *mono* and because it takes me ass-long to do things, (shout-out to besydtammy for giving me motivational cookies, of a sort) I really enjoyed myself doing it, too. I don't think of myself as an exceptionally compulsive person, but there's something really satisfying about the process of deep-cleaning (less so with the ordinary spot-cleaning, but that too). In a weird way, it reminds me of distance swimming or highway driving -- it's a very solitary, methodical activity, and it's most enjoyable if you don't think beyond the next lap or venetian blind or recognizable landmark.

Worried this makes me a *total* nutball, I mentioned this to my parents. My mother was all: "OOOOH! I'm like that TOO!" and my dad was all "Oy. Another one." So, my insanity is a learned behaviour. Sweet :)

But yay. Pretty apartment. *pets Pawtucket House of Couch* And, security-deposit-ness, too, I hope :)

(also, keenween? Did you get my email about Cox? Er, I suppose if you don't have 'net access at all, since I still have your cable modem, you wouldn't have. I'll call you tomorrow unless you say otherwise...)

Congrats on new house-ness. :)

Thanks! Except it's old houseness -- I'm moving back in with my parents for a bit. But still it will be swanky, because I designed my New Improved No Longer Childhood Bedroom today, and it will be all purty and tradingspaces-y :)

Ah, so! :) At least it's not buried under fifteen tonnes of clothing and random items, like mine is. Must get job, so can get space to breath again. :) But nah, actually, it's nice to be home, at least for a while. In a few months I'll have to decide between wonderful beloved parents and small-siblings on the one hand and Independent Spiffy Personal Space on the other. For now, I'm enjoying raiding a fridge that's not mine. :D

At this point it's covered in Whole Foods bags, because I packed pretty much everything I own in them and am yet to properly unpack. But it *will* be purty and swanky.

And hmm... it is a toss-up. I have wonderfulbelovedfamily also, and we have a blast living together... but... spiffy personal space is hottx. It all depends, though. Are you going to move in with friends or on your own? How far away from home are you going?

Ahh, but that is the question. :) I *might* move back to the university I've been attending, which is two full days' drive from here. I've been living in the uni's dorms, which are spiffy, but might not be able to this year, and so would need to find a room with someone or an apartment. Or, on the other hand, I might stay here in this little town and just get an apartment, with or without a roommate. Or, heck, I could just join up with some team that's Saving Teh World, you know, and get room & board that way. Stargate Command, Starfleet, you know the type... :) But seriously, I am thinking really hard about where I should go and what I should do next, because I seem to be a bit bogged down and lost...help help! :) It always seems so much easier in fiction....
