Moving out...

Hopefully I get to experience that same feeling this June.

How does she feel about you moving? Can she afford to stay where she is, without you?

she views it as me screwing her over and taking it personally. being very selfish and not very supportive. has told me directly she doesn't know how i plan on making it on my own.

she's bitter and jealous and scared to be alone because she also hasn't been alone since i was born. can she afford it? i don't know. she'll have to make due.

It's on her if she can't take charge of her own life buddy.

Find anything decent apartment wise yet?

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #123 on:** February 23, 2014, 06:19:46 PM »

does she have friends/social life?

That sucks. It's not like this is some sudden decision on your part, or you promised you'd stay for x amount of years.

Sounds kind of like my mom. She doesn't really have anyone and became major depressed when I started getting ready to move out. I'm much happier now though.

Congrats dude! Yup watch your spending and keep a spreadsheet of all your bills. You'll be fine though.

As far as your mom, it sucks and is hard, but you have to do what is best for you. She's your mother, so she should want the best for you too. She paid bills on her own for, what, 18 years? She'll figure it out. You gotta distance yourselves from those toxic, one-sided relationships. I think you'll be much happier on your own.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #130 on:** February 24, 2014, 12:52:16 AM »

I think after a few months your mother will adjust. The best thing you can do is assure her that you'll be coming back regularly and then she'll probably eventually also enjoy having that space from you.

Good luck with your new apartment, Fistful! Go out and enjoy them garbage plates in the Ra-cha-cha..

Glad to hear Fistful's moving on up. Anybody made a Jefferson's joke yet? Aww fuck it, you can never overdo it.

Quote from: lennedsay on January 02, 2014, 09:29:01 PM

Fistful - there's an app/website called memrise. That's what my husband and I have been using to learn basic Swedish, and for me to brush up on German. Kinda fun. You "plant seeds" and "water them." Seeds being words/phrases. And people can upload pics that help remind them. For instance the phrase for "we want to smoke" is something like "vi vill roka" so somebody put a photo of Queen referencing "we will rock you."

I just wanted to offer my sincere thanks for the referral to Memrise, the site is pretty damn fantastic and it's helping me accomplish one of the resolutions I posted here earlier (learn French.)

je voudrais du cafe, s'il vous plait

There's another game called Ba Ba Dum which seems to be a fun, if only slightly effective, tool to learn common phrases and words of other languages.

buy a couch

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #145 on:** March 09, 2014, 05:28:51 PM »

Fistful, that desk seems perfect for me when I move in a couple of months- I need a smallish corner desk that can support two monitors. Where'd you get it?

demi · « **Reply #146 on:** March 09, 2014, 05:35:42 PM »

I'm confused on that layout. Is that your living room, or?

But couches are comfy even if other people don't come. may wanna lay down once in a while.

Living room. Back right corner. I'll put up more pictures later when I clear out all the boxes and put everything where they need to be.

Joking aside, it doesn't seem like a very inviting living room for other people.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #156 on:** March 09, 2014, 08:58:37 PM »

You'll worry about others being over when others start being over.

hampster · « **Reply #158 on:** March 10, 2014, 10:04:26 AM »

Why would you want to have other people over? The whole point of living alone is to avoid people. Congrats on the apartment breh. I'm jealous since I've never lived alone :'( I cherish the few hours or even days I'm home alone. So quiet and peaceful

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #159 on:** March 11, 2014, 02:34:33 PM »

moved some stuff around and suddenly I have much more roof for a couch, chair, and coffee table

which I just bought and will be having delivered TOMORROW

Not yet! Need a super long HDMI cable that I'll then snake across the floor and into my receiver.

I need some cheap speaker stands. Four specifically, so I can hook up the rear speakers.

you should look into some wire tubes to rail them along the walls. I can't remember the brand but I bought some at home depot. they're inexpensive and you barely notice them, so if you're crazy about wire management, they're really helpful.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #168 on:** March 12, 2014, 04:54:22 PM »

I'm gonna be doing some serious cable management work eventually cuz behind the tv is a nest and under my desk as well.

Really glad I bought duct tape. There's a small opening between the seems at my front window and it's snowing and blowing like mad and some was getting in. Fixed that shit right up.

the last few days going into the weekend and the weekend itself were kind of hell for me. i don't think i've felt so down in my life, really. saturday i was basically a wreck.

then i went to work today and i feel fantastic. never thought work would give me such joy. even applied for a meetup group for something. needed to do it quickly before i come down off this high,

Himu · « **Reply #172 on:** March 17, 2014, 07:15:33 PM »

glad you took me on the meetup idea. what kind of meet up? If you have social anxiety, I'm sure there's some social anxiety meet ups. Moving to a new place without knowing anyone can be hard and cruel. Stick with it, be strong. You can do it!!!

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #173 on:** March 17, 2014, 07:17:35 PM »

it's for people new to the area lol

i want to find a book club. cuz i think that sounds fun. but the only one i can find seems to be all old people and that's weird.
