I start monday.
I had to go out yesterday and buy some "business casual" clothes, but I don't think I did a good job.
and I'm heading to dallas today to buy the last bits of furniture I'm still missing.
I'm gonna miss breakfasts with lus :(

las horas pasan mejor entre tus brazos
I'm waiting around on lowe's to deliver my fridge (milkdud did NOT help me with it like he was supposed to!), and then gonna go over to the apt and move the rest of my stuff.
I'm hoping to go to dallas at the end of the week, but that depends on the move situation.
ahh the move situation.
it feels like it's been months, but it's only been a couple of weeks.
maybe if I spent more time unpacking and less time dicking around.
hm!
speaking of unpacking.... or is this part of dicking around?
neither one of my wireless 360 controllers will hold a charge.
I think maybe the little charging cord is broken?
I need to look into alternatives.

and you'll see that it's time to move on
breaking up sucks.
either I feel bad because I'm sad it's over, or I feel bad because I'm happy it's over.
ugh.

I feel pretty bad about what's going on btwn me & budd, but I mean... he did have an entire year to go meet my mom... and he didn't.
all my friends and even my family are being super supportive, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
I like to think that I'd have left no matter what, since us staying together last year was contingent upon his going to the valley to meet the rest of my family... but I dunno.
budd is a great guy. seriously. I know I bitch about him a lot, but he really is.
but the meeting-my-folks thing is where I decided to take a stand, and he didn't care.
/sigh
I dunno what I did (or didn't do) for it to come down to this. but here we are.
so I've decided to be done with feeling sorry for myself. trying to put the whole "his loss anyway" mindset on.
I just got back from spending the day at the apt.. budd & I went by home depot to get a shower head for him, and then to walmart for me since I'm looking for a space heater (still looking - they didn't have it out).
and I packed up a few more of my things from "home."
when I was leaving I told him I'd be by next week, once I've purchased a fridge and built a counter, to pick up my kitchen things.
that's really all I've got left over there.
as I was closing the door behind me... I dunno... I just felt really sad.
I guess that's what this whole post is about.
I'm sad that he's just letting me walk out of his life. like I tricked him into letting us stay together last year. like he's been waiting for me to leave for the last 5 years.
I'm not so bad, right?

I'm an incredible pussy (I scare easily - books, movies, really anything that would scare a 5 year old) and I failed to bring a nightlight with me.
I also forgot my laptop keyboard cover, ugh.
but back to being a pussy - I've got a loft bed now.
and I'm always half afraid of monsters under my bed.
budd's bed is maybe 6" off the ground, so I had to worry about 6" tall monsters... but now I've gotta worry about 6' tall monsters!
AHHHH!
I think I'll leave my bathroom light on, with the door cracked.
or maybe my desktop comp on, tuned into this. I prefer vibes, rain, thunder, and wind chimes. it kinda reminds me of some garden stage or something in ffvii. well, the vibes do. I just plain love the sound of a thunderstorm. and the wind chimes are kinda silly, but I like the way they sound in this combo.
I'll be fucked, though, when the internet connection [inevitably] goes down.
but for now, I'd better get back to cleaning my bathroom.
I'll let you know how my sleeping goes ;)

master chief never had a chance!

well I want to wrap it up and swim in it until I drown
I'm really wanting to go take a nap, but I know I should be gathering my things.
so instead of doing either, I'm blogging.
go me!
I will, no matter what, be sleeping over there starting tonight.
I've had a very social week.
monday I moved a few things.
tuesday I hung out with lus in the morning, and then I hung out with kotton and watched some anime that afternoon.
wednesday I hung out with peaches and arranged action figures.
thursday I hung out with javi-er and had some tacos.
friday I hung out with lus and had a concrete (yum!).
so today, I really should work on moving stuff. I keep rationalizing it by reminding myself exactly how much stuff I don't have over here. and really, I could probably pack up all my shit in a couple of hours.
also, I finally ordered a router and it won't be here until monday, so I'll hafta spend all day monday over here anyway.
we've agreed on the not-continuing-to-date-once-I-move-out thing, but it's much more mutual than anything (I'm taking this round much better than last year).
budd says he's gonna take some time off to get back to himself, and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.
there's a very good chance I'll just start dating again, but I dunno if that's really what I should do. it's supposed to be a month off for every year spent together... so 5 months... but I've seriously never really been single that long.
I'm a lot older now, though. and I imagine finding someone new to go out with would be a bit harder seeing as how I'm rocking a ton more weight than usual. but I have an awesome personality, I promise!
maybe it'll hit me in a day or two, once I've moved out, but right now I'm pretty frustrated at his indifference and I think if I did just start dating randomly it wouldn't necessarily be because I want to, but because I suck at coping with things.
I guess we'll see.
at the very least I won't have a proper internet connection for a while, so I can spend some time with myself reading and maybe taking up knitting again.
or maybe I'll run away to dallas or the valley for a while, and just lounge about with friends and/or family.
speaking of family, my dad & my sister have been especially gracious in their time spent with me (and our meals).
I think they're worried I'm gonna take this breakup like I took the one with my david, but lol since they don't really know what happened back then.
I think I'll be fine. if we'd split up last year it would have been much harder for me, but things have certainly continued to fizzle over the last year... so I'm sure I'll be ok.
not that I don't wanna drown myself in a bottle, but it's not entirely because of budd.
and now I'm off to pack my toiletries and move my clothes. since, you know, I'll be sleeping over there from now on.
