as some of you may know, i'm moving to vancouver at the end of august. it is super exciting and at the same time kind of terrifying. it'll be my first time moving away from home. i'll miss having a gigantic HDTV.
i'm sure a mature and sophisticated forum like SE has some good moving stories. or any stories. really. stories stories.

I moved to Seoul a year ago last February! That was pretty big.
Also when I was in college, my lease had gone up and I didn't have a car and everyone was out of town. So I made a batch of blackberry mint juleps and drank all day and moved my stuff to my new apartment in a Radio Flyer, piece by piece.
E: Living in New York was the most fun ever

I got a six-year-old queen mattress with a frame, a boxspring, a full set of sheets, blankets and pillows for $100 off craigslist

Yeah, moving is pretty excellent for making you look at all the ridiculous accumulations of stuff we all end up carrying around.
Turns out I can leave virtually anything at all behind except books, which is pathetic since books are also the heaviest thing to move next to furniture.

In the last three years, longest I stayed in one place was about 6-7 months. That was in my very first apartment! Since then, I've been shuffling around all over the place. It's tiring.
I went back to school; the main reason being I wanted to have a solid place to stay for awhile. Unfortunately some of my classes won't transfer, and I have to wait one more semester before I can go to the University I was planning on.
I used to have a whole lot of crap. The main thing I've culled is video games. I also ended up getting rid of my desktop computer and a lot of books. (I know books are great, but they're really heavy, too.)

I'm not in The Circle but I'll give you my number if you want
That's the worst plan.
Tell me about it.
i have a hunch i'll be down in the unnamed city in which you live quite a bit
it was nice not being in an obscenely overcrowded high school
I think this picture is going to be big so I'm spoilering it
bestow unto me some of your innumerable wealth
lived on my own for the first time when I was 16
can't even imagine (A) having lived in the same town my whole life or (B) living with my parents still
packing sucks and carrying heavy shit up two flights of stairs is the blurst.
next time, I'm hiring movers
maybe in like 10 years or something.
maybe he twitched and he's actually living in that shed on the left

nono, that while building on the left is where his family lives.
edit: damnit orik.
that looks...a lot like my granddad's cottage in Lake Tahoe
are you sure that you're not actually in Lake Tahoe
are you sure that you're not
my granddad
edit: ok I swear to god his even has that same handrail-less staircase
this is spooky
that's bad ass.
Good luck Orik!
nothing you gotta bring with you except clothes, books and kitchen stuff
anything else you can live without for as long as it takes to get the money to buy it
that place is bigger than where 10 individuals i know live, if you added all their places of living together.
that's basically what i'm planning to do.
people give beds away on craigslist a lot
I'd bet Orik can find a fine bed for less than $50 in a day or two after moving to vancouverton
this has happened 3 times
I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just buy stock in Greyhound

Seriously. Unless you're the type who is attached to stuff in general. If not, trust that there will be stuff in Vancouver too. And enjoy it up there.
I plan this to be only for 2 months tops

Wow Unintentional, where is this? What lake?
I might sig this for posterity.
I dunno
that guy invented rape rooms

So, don't do that?
Just stack them nicely and throw a mattress on top
