Wow. So I haven’t touched my Tumblr for quite a while. For almost a year, actually. It’s kind of crazy to look back on what few things I wrote and it’s especially crazy to think that I thought writing for a Tumblr page would inspire me to continue working on my novel (THAT didn’t happen lol).
“Blindness” is a thought-provoking novel, written elegantly by Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago.
So this past weekend I moved into an apartment with my friend Lisa, and to say that it’s awesome, would be an understatement.
The trip from Indiana to North Carolina was definitely a drag, especially when the cat threw up in the car and tried to bite my face. It was difficult to drive for 12 hours, but thankfully I had my dad and brother there with me, because they are awesome. I still have no idea how I’m going to repay them for helping me, because I couldn’t have done it without them.
But we finally got to the apartment, and started to unload stuff, even though it was past dinner time and we hadn’t eaten since lunch. Although my apartment is on the third floor, it seemed like it didn’t take all that long to finish unloading in the morning. We were done way before lunch, so we decided to check out the beach.
It was an absolute beautiful day, made even better because of the fact that I had been living in Indiana, where it had been freezing, with snow on the ground when we left, so being able to walk on the beach in short sleeves, was awesome.
Once my dad and brother left, it was just me and Molly in the apartment. I continued to unpack things until my roommate got home.
Ever since, we’ve just been hanging out, and getting things done. We paid rent, went wedding dress shopping for her, watched movies, and more. It seems like simple stuff, but when you’re doing it on your own, in your own place, it’s fantastic.
I keep meaning to put pictures up on Facebook of our place, but honestly if I showed anyone pictures of this place right now, I would be embarrassed because it’s so messy! But I will eventually get it done.
I start at the Bath and Body works this Sunday, at the floorset. This store is a lot bigger than the other one I worked at, but I think it will be alright.
I can definitely be happy here for another month and a half, when Johnny gets home. By moving out, I feel like I’m being so much more productive than just living at home and working every once in a while.
But yeah, the apartment is great and I feel safe here, and the city is exciting, and I’m just really happy to be here!
I’ve moved so many times in my life, it’s ridiculous. Indiana to Oklahoma, to California, OK, CA,IN, then CA, where we moved to a different house three times, and now we are in IN again, and I’m about to move to North Carolina.
Yes, I’ve moved a lot, but this time it’s different, since I will no longer be living with my parents.
This is exactly the relationship between me and Molly.

Ok so I normally don’t complain about my problems or do anything to get pity from others, but you know what? I’ve had an awful day and I need a good rant session…..
this makes me want to learn how to sing (well) lol
