A thread about moving!

Metzger Meister

This thread is about moving. I'm moving up to Spokanistan, Washington in about six months to live with my dad and be a dirty goddamn PNW hippie savage. Livin. The. Dream.


But I bounced around some as a child, of course. Ely to Reno, Reno to Pt. Angeles, Pt. Angeles to Spokane, Spokan here. Not as bad as some people've had it certainly, but still!

Moving is no fun. Who's got big moves planned? If you could, where would you move to?

Growing up my family moved only once, and it was up the street to a slightly larger house.

Taking off for college and getting my own place has been a hell of an experience.

VALVEjunkie

IF I could move I would go to noCal

that or seattle

either works

I moved a lot as a kid because hotel industry blah blah nobody cares.

I wanna move to ibiza and party and do sexy drugs.

GeoMitch

I want to move 2 hours west

Moving blows.

It is just the worst thing. Especially if you have to drive 8 hours to a different city with all your crap, knowing that the painful physical labour you just finished has to be done all over again.

I will hopefully be moving to Seattle or Vancouver for college, but that is some months off till I even find out about that.

I just finished moving to another apartment in the same city. My brothers and I huffed hundreds of pounds of junk up three flights of rotten stairs in this old character apartment that hasn't finished renovating, and probably won't until we can finish organizing the new place.

I was also moving with a high fever. Fun times.

i am trying to move into an apartment somewhere nearby

it's taking way too long because other shit keeps coming up but i need to get off my ass and do it

Metzger Meister

Moving pretty much always fucking blooowss.

mensch-o-matic

I'm kind of floating around where ever school takes me for the next decade

If I don't end up staying in NYC afterward I'll probably go to Seattle

For a while I wanted to life in the Valley or some other swanky part of California but now I...don't..want that thing

End

I used to not have a lot of stuff, so moving wasn't so bad, but I'm starting to acquire a lot of crap, so I'm hoping I don't have to move for a while.

Muse Among Men

Lived in the San Fernando Valley all my life, but I did move from one neighborhood and then to another and then to another. Not fun because I'd had my own room, and then I had to share a single room between me and my mom and dad and sister. Then after too long (at least 2 years) we moved back into where we originally lived the very first time.

This thread interests me because my family anticipates I will continue to live in the valley. But maybe I won't. Maybe I will like some other place better. I don't know.

Metzger Meister

I just really think it's time for a huge change. I sat down with this girl i've been kind of pursuing lately and basically laid it all on the table today, because I made this decision and I'd like to really spend some time with her before I leave. And she was stoked! All happy and said she felt the same way. This is rad. I just don't know what to do now.


anyway yeah packing up little things is the worst, like the very last part of packing where you're combing the house for shit.

Asiina

One day I want to be important enough that when I get a job I can negotiate moving expenses into my being hired.

And I will hire movers.

And it will be their goddamn problem.

I have only moved house one and a half times in my life.

I grew up in the same house until I was 18

then we packed a bunch of shit into storage and we lived in a rental place for a few months while our house was being built

then we moved into the house and I'm still there.

I wanna move interstate, but like, leave most of my shit here and buy all new shit. Take my consoles, my computers, my clothes and shoes, a little framed art, my TV and stereo and shit, and all my hockey gear and that's it

Crashmo

moving sucks so bad

unless you don't have stuff

then it is just fun and exciting

Spokane has a Taco John's

I've had 10 for real moves and a couple of smaller local moves.

I have packing down to an art and if I had to I could move out of my apartment with my furniture and everything in a standard sized Ranger.

Virgil_Leads_You

depends on your dream
The American dream?
I wouldn't be surprised.
There are people living successfully in every other town.

Oh also one time I went to my friend's house at 2 in the morning on like a tuesday and helped her pack and get the fuck out in like an hour because her junky boyfriend had beat her up that night

then she lived with my family for 6 months

Let me tell you, even though I still did a partial self-move, not having to drive my shit cross country made this latest trek awesome

Though I still have a storage space full of crap that needs to get moved in, I'm happy to be settled for a bit

Jordyn

When we drive through Spokane in like 9 days

I am going to eat so many fucking tacos

Zombiemambo

in about 8 months I'm hopefully moving from Colorado to Toronto

I'm excited

YoSoyTheWalrus

I move every 6-12 months

Lived in four states, two countries and at least a dozen different domiciles

Such is the life of a transient, good for nothing 20-something

(shitty)

Blake T

thank god. i dunno if you guys know this but taco john's is from cheyenne, originally, and it's like some kind of goddamn staple food round these parts.

Metzger Meister

and spokane actually doesn't really seem that bad!

at least it's markedly more cosmopolitan and cultural than cheyenne.

George Fornby Grill

Spokane smells kinda funny

I remember living there as a kid, but all I ever smelled was forest and damp.

We lived pretty close to the woods though.

My family moved from San Antonio, TX to Williamsburg, VA in August. It kind of sucks having to drive the whole way. It sucks worse when you have to then leave your family and return to an empty house.

But I am going to visit Williamsburg on the 18th and for almost a month, all will be well!

MereHappenstance

I think I've moved about 15 times. Though some of those involved living in Juneau for 6 months, then back down to Washington. Dad being a rep and all in Alaska.

It's pretty nice being able to go back and forth between both states. I have friends and family in both states which makes living in either more appealing.

One day when I rule the world I will have houses in both states.

Metzger Meister

are there any penny arcade people in spokane? the only people i know up there for sure is my family.
