Farewell

Today is the last full day of my time in my room. I'm moving to Austin tomorrow afternoon and stay at a friend's house for about a week before I move into my dorm on the 26th. -groan- That means that even though I am somewhat excited about living by myself, it also means that school starts, which in turn means that I can't laze about reading fanfics all day (night) long. The packing part was incredibly annoying, if I may say so myself.

I just stuffed a suitcase with a bunch of clothes, at least 50% of the articles of clothing being T-shirts. I'm not bringing all of my clothes though since my parents will come with the rest of my stuff (jackets, trenchcoats...) and I had to leave some stuff behind because my sister and I share clothes so we did a trade off. -sigh- So now I have my Star Wars shirt while my sister gets the Flogging Molly shirt, both of which are mine since I bought the Flogging Molly shirt at the Warped Tour and the Star Wars shirt was a birthday present. Oi vey. Yeah... and I have to leave my blankie who's about 5 years older than me and whose stuffing is coming out but I personally don't care - but my mom does. That is also why my mom covered Pellow with a really disgusting fabric. I like my pillow just the way it was - fluffs and all!

Then there's the fact that I'm still awake right now and it's 1:11 am and I'm still not sleepy because I somehow evolved into a nocturnal creature over the past months - all due to fanfiction. That is also another thing I have to give up (or at least cut down on) which really sucks because I keep on thinking about it when I'm not reading it. It's taking over my mind!!! -ahem- Yeah, anyway, it's the truth though. The other day, I went to my grandparents' house to sleepover because the AC at my house died (which is incredibly unfortunate since we're in Texas and because my temper's more volatile in the heat). There, I tried to sleep normally but it didn't work. I slept, yeah, but only for 2 to 3 hours, woke up at around 3:00 am and couldn't go to sleep until around 6:00 am.

-sigh- And I'm sick. Can't believe it either, but I am. I always have an annual have-to-get-sick time but this time, it decided to come in the summer instead of the winter. I have a slightly congested nose, a semi-sore throat, and a hoarse voice. It makes me even sleepier in the daytime. I took my four tablespoons (or was the teasepoons - I know, wrong spelling) Dimetapp earlier on today though so it should be find after I finish my food (spring rolls) and take another dose. I should ask my mom to bring me some Dimetapp and Tylenol to bring to my dorm, just in case.

This is soooo exciting! Well, and I'm nervous, and depressed, and ecstatic, and... I dunno, a host of other emotions and such. Oh! I bought a new purse for $15 to replace my $8 purse that was dying. It's pretty interesting and my sister has one matching mines though they're not identical. Hers was called a hobo bag or something. -snort- She likes it so it's all good. I like it because I don't have to carry it - just hang it on a shoulder and we're all fine and ready to go! Plus, my mom said that the only way she'll let me get a credit card was if I had a purse. -rolls eyes-

Anyway, I'll miss my room and my bed and my blankie and my pillows (though I am bringing Pellow) and all of my books. Oh... and the freedom of going potty without wondering if anyone can hear you... -wink- lol... It's the truth though. I'm one of those people that can't go to the bathroom as well with people present. It's like a personal time with you, your needs, and Mr. TinklePot. Not a time where you perform for an audience, no matter how unwilling they are.

haha... OK, I'll stop now. I'll still be on the computer but not as much since I have Xavier and I can't stay on for as long as I'd like to since laptops are more... difficult. -humph- And my threadless shirt isn't here yet though it's on the way. I suppose I'll just have to wait for my parents to deliver it. Oh bugger. I was so excited about it too!

Well, farewell Houston and hello Austin!
