Ten reasons to twist and shout (aka I moved out!)
May 8, 2008
10. My roommate streaking past my bedroom door when he realized I was up and he was naked and on his way to shower. I had to stifle my laughter, but that’s one hell of a way to start a day. Especially one’s last day in an apartment!
9. Pushing my boxspring down two flights of stairs and wishing I could surf it down the stairs a la Princess Diaries. I blame a narrow hallway and ever-multiplying dust bunnies from the carpet that had regenerative growth syndrome for hindering my stair-surfing opportunities.
8. Getting a phone call about a job interview opportunity back in New York for a job I was super interested. Can’t make the interview, but it still makes me feel good about my future prospects.
7. Selling every last piece of furniture I had and making a profit on all the furniture I got for free when I moved in. All that cash in my pocket will go a long way in the next few weeks.
6. Asshat roommate giving me back my $650 security deposit. Whoo!
5. Leaving a completely empty room, with the blue phone on the wall. I still secretly hoped it would ring for me, just before I left, but it never did.
4. Dinner at McGee’s, with her and J, which will be my temporary residence for the three times I pop back into San Francisco before flying home.
3. Accidentally breaking the battery pack of my vibrator when I tried to remove the batteries. I banged the whole thing on the windowsill, the battery pack fell off, the bunny ears started twitching, and I couldn’t figure out how to keep it all in my hands because damnit, that lube is slippery. If America’s Funniest Home Videos were rated X, I’d walk out with that ten grand prize easily
2. Taking yet another lovely bath to wash away all the dirt, grime, and sweat of packing, moving, and cleaning. Though it was slightly disturbing as there were half-naked and unattractive construction workers arguing loudly right outside my window. Why is it that I’m always naked when the construction workers are right outside my window? Is there a special “DS NAKED!” spotlight, like the Batman signal? Seriously.
1.5. Fitting everything I own that was left into two suitcases, a small duffel bag, and a backpack with room to spare. I am clearly an expert packer. But what’s up with this new rule that each passenger can only check one piece of luggage for free and must pay for any additional luggage? Baaaahhhhh.
1. In less than twelve hours, I will be on my way to Seattle, Vancouver, Thailand and Japan.
Ready? Set? Go!
