What Ever Happened to Jesse Camp? (flowerchild19) wrote, @ 2006-05-30 01:36:00

Well, folks, I got the boot!

Not really. But pretty close.

My mom says this is IT, I'm packing everything but my furniture and moving out, OUT. As in, I'm not allowed to come back. I mean, if I were to end up living in a gutter I'm sure they'd let me come back...for a few days. I wasn't kicked out in anger, really, because I had decided I would stay with Bestfriend for the summer...leaving most of my stuff here to pack later, when I go to Florida. MOM had other plans, and I am now in the process of sorting out every last thing I own into three piles: keep/storage, donate, trash. I'm surrounded by piles, bags, boxes, clothes.

This bedroom floor...is covered. The one little area that is visible is being sat on by me. I have so. much. stuff. And this is AFTER I gave a carload of stuff to Goodwill last year. And I'm still loaded down with STUFF. I think I might have a yard sale this time perhaps, to put towards a small storage unit for all the things I'm keeping to furnish my future Florida apartment with.

I can't remember the last time I felt this stressed. I've heard that moving is the most stressful, non-tragic experience a person can go through, and I never believed it because twice I've moved in/out of dorms and it wasn't stressful at all. But this...this is horrible. I lay awake all last night thinking thinking thinking about: where am I gonna put this..where am I gonna pack that...where will I put it once I move...when WILL I move out of here for sure? There's no set date. I'm waiting waiting waiting for dad to fix my car.

I've pretty much had to put aside all sentiment and honestly sort out everything into the piles, and sometimes its hard to part with a skirt that you LIKE, but know you'll never wear again.

Its gonna be a hell of week. I gotta get the car running, find a job, and move to Semmes. Argg. Here's to no sleep, Dr Pepper, and of course, Hot n Spicey Cheezits. And the soundtrack to this has become a mixed tape I made last week...yes I said TAPE. Old school.

Oh, and I got a fancy new cellie. Schweet.

This message brought to you by my mouse being superdirty and me having to go "Tab-Tab-Tab-Tab-Tab" to get anywhere on any website, something I don't mind doing as much because I get to say "Tab" over and over again without anyone thinking I just crave the soda (which I often do, but that's managed to be beside the point). 1. Helllll yes to mixtapes. Swear to God, I must make one a month. I am actively seeking to replace my current autistic (I feel that it has a hidden genius that remains dormant under a veneer of its own incompetence) stereo with one that has a 5-CD changer and one tape deck, but no electronic company seems in the mood to accommodate the needs of a solitary consumer. Regardless, mix tapes are infinitely more special than a mix CD and everyone should really aspire to express themselves through at least three in their lifetime. 2. Super good luck on the move. Speaking as one former dorm resident to another, I know exactly how stressful packing and hoofing can be and it always pays to pace things out. It's rough to have to evaluate your every purchase as a keep/don't keep, especially if the majority is an acquisition within six months ago (that's certainly how I describe over half the things I own). You'll get it together, though. I believe in you. I'm powerless to say just why, but I believe in you. 3. Anyone who doesn't like Dr. Pepper is lying to God. (Reply to this) (Thread)

omigoodness, have you seen/tried the new Tab ENERGY DRINK? I saw it in the market and was like, holycow...Beth will flip out when she sees this! I understand your woes about your stereo. Mine is a 3-CD changer with tape deck...but the cd player is very tempremental and will only play "real"CD's and occasionally a burnt one; hell. Even some of the tracks on a real CD, it refuses to play. Lets just switch back to vinyl. Thank you for saying you believe in me. I have never been told that before, and it made me grin. And I might just have to steal #3 to use in day-to-day conversations. Hope you don't mind. wink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I am saddened to report that I have tried the New Tab Energy Drink. Saddened because the damn stuff tastes like what my saliva would if I sipped some Red Bull (something I wouldn't do again, even for the sake of proving this point, because Red Bull is the ultragross), then sucked on a cherry Jolly Rancher and swished the two together until they became a sick, not-as-fizzy mixture. The stuff tastes vaguely warm in my mouth, even after it's been chilled. One of my friends asked me about it and this is how the conversation went down: ME: It tastes like someone dropped a cherry Jolly Rancher in some Red Bull, then washed it around in their mouth. FRIEND: I might actually want to try that. ME: Well, let's get some Red Bulls and a pack of Jolly Ranchers and I'll spit them into a cup for you. They politely declined my offer. They wouldn't have been missing much, anyway. Everyone in their life needs to be believed in at some point. I'm not sure if someone has ever told me that without being sarcastic, personally, but it's definitely nice to know when it's sincere. Totally steal it. It needs to be put out there and it'll only get so far in Pennsylvania. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
