stresssssssssss

[corilannam]

So I'm moving this weekend.  It's somewhat last minute, I haven't moved in almost 8 years, and I've never had my own place before, so this whole week has been a bundle of weird stresses for me.  Thank God for chelseafrew, the bestest best friend in the world, who organized me almost before I could freak out.   I'm so looking forward to Sunday, when it'll all be over but the furniture buying.

I am truly astounded by the sheer volume of ... stuff that I have.  I mean, I knew I had a lot of stuff, but you never really know until you try to put it all into boxes.  A lot of it's fannish, a lot of it's not -- how I would love to be one of those zen people who have no material possessions and can pack up and move their entire lives at a moment's notice.  I am not and will never be one of those people.  The thought of giving up my Star Wars stuff makes me physically twitch (although I have successfully limited myself to one box of fannish toys to take with me -- anyone looking for action figures and suchlike can get really lucky at the Gaithersburg Goodwill next week).

Oh, and someone remind me that before the next time I move, I need to make some large male friends with pick-up trucks.  I am sorely feeling the overwhelming fannishness of my social life as I contemplate various means of couch acquisition.

First off, congrats on moving! I know it's been a long time coming. One of these days we'll actually meet up in either real life or IM and chat about it. ;)

Oy vey, do I know what you mean!!!! I'm looking to try and move before Christmas and I just keep looking at my things...and wanting to curl up under my desk and cry. I so don't need all this crap. Really, most of it I just want to throw away...I too am envious of the zen-not-packrat people. (Though I am convinced they are actually pod people in disguise). I just need to crawl out from under the desk and start getting rid of things.

Btw, re: couch acquisition - if you manage to find a guy with a pickup (and 2-3 of his strongest friends) you can have my couch if you want it. I hate that damned thing, I know that whenever I move I'm just giving it to Goodwill or leaving it for the next residents.

heeee! Wow, with that kind of advertisement for your couch, how could I resist? Oh, right, I've slept on it. *g*

I'm considering IKEA at the moment -- they have a couch I like for not *too* much. It's just damn hard to get them to say how much it would be to deliver it.

Though I keep thinking about moving again and how maybe I don't really need a couch after all.... *g*
