Today. Move?

Yah, ok. I've majorly skimped on blogging this month. In my defense, the person I blog to doesn't have the Internet.

I wonder if I need a private private blog. One that seriously NO ONE knows about. Because this one has turned into me writing to a person.

Maybe I should just stop doing that.

I really feel like I've lost my voice, because everything I write does not feel or sound like me at all.

I'm really really really up in the air about moving. Really nervous. Really torn. I guess I shall take Sir Joyce's advice, and use my downtime on my triple shift tomorrow (today? I am supposed to wake up in three hours) to make a pros and cons list.

I'm worried about losing my sister. Today, as I looked around the house, I thought about how much stuff there is. Where is it going to go? If I move out, and everyone moves somewhere...where is all this stuff gonna go? A lot of it we can live without. A lot of it is just...filler. (Which leads into a whole thought process about how maybe, just maybe, having all this stuff is just that--I'm trying to fill my life, fill this great hole I've always felt I had. Why do I have this whole? Why do I try to fill it with material things? Which makes me think that if anyone read this from a religious viewpoint they'd think I need a god/figurehead, but that's not it. Do I really want to get into all this now? No) But what about something like a dining room table? Or the cherry wood desk I've had forever, that was hand made by a guy Amelia used to take care of? Do I really want to get rid of it? Sometimes I wish we'd never left our first house in Keystone. It had shit tons of storage space.

Ok. So. I guess I really need to talk to my ... gulp ... parents ... about this. Even her. Can't just talk through my dad. I think....

Oh man.

I think I need to get rid of a lot of my stuff. I have a lot. Of. Stuff.

But I mean, really. Do I want the kitchen table? I look at it as a reminder of what my dad tried to do but failed at.

Everything in this house reminds me of failure.

Please let me out of here.

I think I will be so much better once I'm out of here.

You could always consider password protecting your blog, so you can control who has access to it. My blog is public and many times I feel like I have to censor myself because of that.
