Moving is such a dang chore. Though that moment when you first move into a new place and everything is magical with optimism and possibilities...well, it's priceless.

you'll be the first to drown when the world starts to end
No self-respecting apocalypse would want to travel to the midwest.
I don't ever want to move again
I mean I know we'll have to
but goddammit
Hmm good point. It might fly over the midwest on its way to the good parts of the country though! Leave some nice apocalypse chem trails
today my landlord's suicidal son probably tried to kill himself again
and so landlord screamed up the stairs wanting to know if I know CPR
(I do not)
meanwhile all eight of the dogs are going crazy
I went down there to give some advice (the 911 dispatcher told not-breathing-guy's brother that if his heart quit beating, to press down on his chest rhythmically to restart it, I told him that there's a certain rhythm to this, and that it's exactly the same as the Beegees' Stayin' Alive)
and also to round up the dogs and keep them in the kitchen
paramedics arrived and saved the day, fortunately
dude's in the hospital now, probably going to wind up being held for a few days
any major dude will tell you
heh, that follows me where ever i go
Damn, that's...interesting
Conveniently the job has on-site housing which I'll be sharing with the rest of the staff, so that negated a lot of the logistical issues, but still, figuring out what to pack for a four month stay when it has to travel via ferry and then travel half a mile to the house on an island with no motor vehicles is kinda tricky.
Also I've never had a roommate before, so that'll be interesting.
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
Also who the fuck has eight dogs in an apartment??
I rent a room on the top floor of a house
the landlord boards dogs as a side business
so there are rarely less than four here at any given time

When Amy and I were in college, still just dating, we were both still living at our respective homes during the summer, because we were in the dorms.
She was living with just her step-dad and he was pretty much an alcoholic asshole. He was emotionally and verbally abusive to her, and it wasn't getting any better for sure. There was finally one evening she called me in tears and without going into too much detail, there were basically all the signs that the abuse was going to soon turn physical. So the next day while he was at work, I borrowed my dad's truck, enlisted the help of my best friend down the street, and we packed up all her stuff and moved it to my parents' house. So when he came home, her entire room was cleared out and anything in storage that was hers was gone.
It caused some conflict for sure between him, us, and my parents, but they backed me up and she stayed with us from then on until we got our own apartment. I gotta tell ya, it was very tense the whole time we were moving her stuff into the truck because he did occasionally come home for lunch, but luckily not that day.
I did worry for a while if we handled the situation correctly and if there was another way we could have done it, but it wasn't too soon after that if I was to ask myself the question, would I do it again the same way, the answer was always: abso-fucking-lutely.
And to be 100% honest, for this assclown's sake, he's lucky it didn't turn into any sort of physical abuse. Dude has serious little-man syndrome and since this wasn't too long after high school, I still very close to the strongest and most in-shape I had ever been. Those of you who have met me in person and know me pretty well know that I am not by nature an easily angered person nor one who is eager for confrontation, physical or otherwise. I am very easy-going and it is very difficult to push my buttons. I have never been in a fight, and I've never even really hit a person. So I want you to take my full meaning when I say if he had laid a finger on her, I WOULD HAVE BROKEN THIS MOTHER FUCKER IN HALF

you could have just picked him up and bent him until he snapped
you're a burly guy, guy
any major dude will tell you
he is absolutely correct that he wouldn't harm a fly
and if he was ever actually angered the person on the receiving end of that anger should be TERRIFIED. He's HELLA STRONG
Geek you did a good thing for your girlfriend. You're an upstanding fella, sir
I tend to go to seed if left to my own devices
any major dude will tell you
yeah I had a girl with a little shitfuck of a deadbeat dad and I just always wanted to pummel the guy
Some days I miss just having peace and quiet. Some days I miss not having a yard to worry about or plumbing to fix or all of that shit that you never have to worry about in a place you don't own. Petty shit like that.
Like I said, it isn't often, but sometimes.
I don't want to do yardwork or clean gutters or any of that shit
I want to just call up somebody else to fix problems, I've got shit to do
any major dude will tell you
I am going to be sad when we have to leave.
At some point Mori and I have to go back to school... His parents want us to move in with them and although rent would be cheaper we'd prefer to avoid having to do that but ugh can't ever see us saving any money in our current situation
unfortunately housing costs are bullllllshit here
so it's not likely I'll ever own anything more than a condo, and even then, I dunno!
You can't just up and decide to remodel your bathroom in an apartment. And you most definitely can't kick off renovations by putting a bomb in the toilet.
You can't wake up one morning and say, 'I need a hot tub'.
You can't do burnouts in the yard on dirtbikes.
You can't paint 'FUCK AIRPLANES' on your roof.
