psst

(check ICA for now. . .remember, I said I'd keep writing in there! I still don't have the new blog set up.)

This Is It

Despite how much I've hyped up this last entry, don't expect much. :p

I'll admit that it feels strange to be leaving this apartment. I remember when Rich showed the place to me for the first time, and when he and Rob moved in. There are a lot of memories associated with this place and a lot of things I am going to have to leave behind. I've been kind of sad again recently just because of that. I'm not handing over my key tomorrow because I will be coming back for stuff over the next few days, but when I finally do. . .it's going to be odd.

At the same time, it's strange to be ending this blog too.I was not expecting to write here as much as I have. I started it on a whim, after reading an article on blogging while I was in Texas with Rich's family. I wasn't expecting to write about such personal things, in fact I didn't want it to be so I could put the link up on Facebook and other places without worrying about who might stumble upon it. Yeah, that didn't work, haha.

I've never deliberately ended an online journal before. Even my old Dear Diary journal, that I wrote in consistently for several years, didn't end on purpose, I just loss interest. But as I've mentioned in previous entries, it's only fitting that I end this blog at the same time that the chapter of my life that it represents is also ending.

ICA will continue as usual, but even that is bound to be different, thanks to my new living situation.

Soooo. . .that's it. This is the end of Angry Hamster Face. I don't have my new blog set up yet, and probably won't until I actually have Internet in the new house. If I want you to read it, I'll let you know one way or another.

Oh. . .Great.

Is it bad that that was my first thought upon looking into my bedroom in the new house?

My room is tiny. As in, about half the size of the bedroom I currently have.

The only reason I'm bothered by it is that there's barely going to be enough room for my bed and a desk to put my computer on. Forget taking my bureau from home, cuz it'll never fit. Or it would, but then I wouldn't have room for my computer. Nick said I could always put that in one of the rooms downstairs, but I've learned that I really have a hard time writing when my computer is in the main living room, as it is in my current apartment. I get too easily distracted, and it's part of the reason why I haven't been able to write any FMC stories, even when I've had some ideas.

And I'm also a little pissed because Nick and Chris have VERY decently sized rooms, again, about the size of my bedroom here. The only other bedroom, that is going to be Amanda's, is about a foot bigger/wider/whatever than mine. I thought about switching (since Chris and I don't NEED to be right near each other), but decided it wasn't worth it for what isn't too much extra space. The unfortunate fact is that *someone* is going to get stuck with the small room, no matter what. As long as I can figure out a way to set up at least my computer in there, I guess it will be okay. I might need to keep my TV in the main living room, or maybe I can hijack the extra room that's just off the kitchen and claim a corner of it as a continuation of "my" space. :p I won't really know until I get at least my bed in my room, but I'll figure it out. Chances are I'm going to need to go on a mini shopping spree Saturday night to get the things I'll need to fully furnish the place. Did I mention that I am going to be BROKE in about a month? And honestly, besides coffee and snacks at work, I've been trying hard not to fall victim to any impulse buys. I was hoping to go to Boston again soon, but I just can't spare the money. At least I won't have to fill my gas tank twice a week anymore-- work is literally 3 minutes away and anything else I could need is not too far away.

This is STILL not the last entry. Since my computer is getting taken down Saturday morning, tomorrow WILL be it. It will also be the last time you can talk to me online for awhile, so you better if you're feeling so inclined. :p We have a lot of fixing up to do around the new house, so getting hooked up to the Internet isn't something we've even discussed. But you know as soon as I have it I'll be back in action. . . even if this particular journal is finished.
