I've Moved!

This title may be a bit misleading.  I have not moved my blog for all my avid readers (all seven of you).  I have moved myself, physically, into a new location.  That's right folks!  I am now out of my parent's house with my entire family and into my own apartment.  Stupid?  Maybe.  Terrifying?  Possibly.  Juxtaposing?  Absolutely!

During the whole move-in process which took many a fortnight (primarily due to the fact that I work during the day), I realized how much crap I actually have.  I mean, there is a lot of stuff here, and even more still at my parent's house that they aren't forcing me to take.  Let me tell you, I am a pack rat.  And I enjoy every second of it.  Who knows when I will need some of this stuff again?!?

Like what about my Game Boy Color?  Have I outgrown every game made for it?  Probably not.  Do I still need it?  Nope.  Am I keeping it?  Yes.  Am I shocked that it still works?  Definitely.

And then there's all the crap that I have for school.  I think 50% of my crap is school and work related.  25% is devoted to past memories and mementos that I just couldn't part with.  15% is my important stuff, like my computer and lighting fixtures and other necessities that are needed (as necessities often are) in this new technological age.  I think only 10% of my crap is stuff that I use for leisure.  If that.  Maybe only 3% is used for leisure.  The other 7% is lost.
