I think I might move home

I had been seriously considering it for the last six months. I think I would have done it if my parents lived in a city, or even the center of a town, but I'd go nuts out among the strip malls with no friends about.

I'd say it's a bad idea. Because then the "mom's basement" jokes we're all so found of would start hitting a little close to home.

I work from home. It makes little sense for me to pay 1k a month to sit on a couch, when I can do that from home. I could save up before grad school (and actually focus on the grad school app thing).

I'm having a hell of a time finding a place to live down here as it is.

I think I'm moving home. Just need to talk to my employer and my roommate that I'm bailing on.

Water table is way too high in the Pine Barrens to have a basement

Barry Jive doesn't seem to let it get him down.

Michelle and I met in 2003, started dating in 2004, engaged 2005, married 2006.... no kids yet.

bahahahaha


I've been in serious talks with my buddy about finding a place we can both move to (he lives in the suburbs with his parents and wants to move to the city). But he just bought a car, which he kind of had to if he wanted to move because he works out in the 'burbs, so that's pushing things back a few months.

Then, the other night, I had a conversation with the parents about it all, and they basically told me how stupid it would be for me to rent a place. I haven't broken the news to my buddy yet, but I might just try to save up for a house and buy one when I get my raise in January.

The mitigating factor in all this is that if I had the opportunity to move out tomorrow, I would do it.

So the parents are ok/in favor of me moving home, and the boss doesn't care. Now I just need to stab my roommate in the back. I don't think I've ever gone so quick from idea to decision about something so big in my whole life, about 3.5 hours.

Why would your boss care where you live

what did i miss? back to phl? so you're finally supporting sestak eh?

Eh I run errands for him in DC sometimes. Deliver crap to the Hill. Make printouts at Kinkos and bring them to meetings.

I'll definitely be doing GOTV for Christie. Oohhh, I can probably even switch my voter registration. Oh man, another reason to move home. As if saving $1500 a month on rent and food wasn't enough.

Voxette - 20??

Ha! I'm in the top five, age-wise on this board... And several years older than Vox, as he loves to remind me...

Or did you mis-type #3 coming in '10?

Amusing, but what was the point of making that into a video? I could have read it in about two minutes.

I'm going to drink for a few more hours. And be happily hungover tomorrow. Deciding not to pay rent for the next year really is quite a load off my shoulders. Maybe I'll finally read that Schumpeter book I bought.

i'm presenting my summer work at a poster session tomorrow. swing by if you're in town.
