I dislike moving. More accurately, I despise it with every cell in my body. Not all the lifting of boxes and packing and trying to make sure everything fits in the trunk and then lugging it up three more flights of stairs while juggling the keys to open the door (though that sucks too). I hate seeing my formerly pretty apartment being torn down.

And while the new place is all nice and new (with washer/dryer), it's not my first apartment. Sigh. I get attached to things very easily. And it just looks so sad -- there's pretty much no furniture left, but all my stuff is still there, scattered all over the floor. Of course, only now do I realize that I took maybe a grand total of four pictures there. I have no visuals to remember the first place I lived by myself at all, and that makes me sad.

*sniff*

The nicer part is being able to unpack here and put everything together. Now I can try to figure out another way to organize my books and deal with the ever-present questions of: separate genres? separate trade pb/hc/mass market? English language manga with Chinese/Japanese manga? Will all my academic books fit in one shelf? That makes me slightly happier.

But I still am sad about my old apartment, despite the noise and the cabinets that never quite closed right. And this apartment's not quite my apartment because the boy's living here too. So we have small arguments over where to put stuff, and now I am wanting a place that is just mine so I can put stuff wherever.

Wah, getting teary and nostalgic now =(.

Dude. I moved three weeks ago and I'm STILL only about 60% unpacked. It depresses me deeply, but not as much as the task ahead of me -- condensing my boxes of knickknacks to a mangageable size, since I have about a tenth the shelf space I had at my mom's, and packing the rest of it away. Moving into a *smaller* space just sucks.

No closet space sucks *hugs*. Right now I just want to curl up in a ball and completely ignore the entire thing, sigh.

whenever i move, i always get my guy friends and bf to help me move. unfortunately for them, helping me move is actually having them do the manual labor while i verbally direct everything. clever of me, no? =P

Haha yeah... I feel bad because the boy and his dad moved most of the furniture. But oh well, less for me to move ;).
