maderrAnd my dad did wind up doing most it...only because I got so sick of it I asked for help. Honestly, I couldn't do a damn thing and inside of thirty minutes he had it done. I suck.
Feeling rather nervous, more about leaving home than about going somewhere new if that makes any sense. I currently have two duffle bags full of clothing, and...seven boxes of random crap, roughly five of which are just my books. What's sad is that those aren't even 1/3 of what's in my collection. Perhaps a fourth.
My brother has read the starts of my Cid/Vin fic and gives it his highest marks so far as the chars go (he was grateful I had not yet gotten to the yaoi), which means a lot to me. If my brother is convinced by my chars, I feel confident that I am portraying them as accurately as I possibly can. We'll see if I can maintain it, for some reason I am dead intent on doing this fic well. Probably just distracting myself from the whole 'leaving home' thing. I am eternally grateful to my parents that they're not doing anything special to see me off; normalcy keeps me sane (and from crying, I'm always a serious crybaby at partings. It drives me nuts, I feel like the biggest baby. But I realized a long time ago it's something that I'll never stop doing, grrr). In fact I need to go distract myself again, b/c even thinking about saying goodbye tomorrow is starting to upset me. Damn it.

Date: 2004-05-02 02:46 am (UTC)It's damn normal to be nervous when you're about to flip your world upside down. The experience of getting on a plane and flying to Illinois where I promptly was submerged in the world of the United States Navy Boot Camp shook me to my shoes. I will never forget my first night of in processing, and how terrified we all were. I may have been 21 years old and not a kid anymore.. but I might as well have been six and in the middle of the worst dream of my life. Hopefully your experience isn't quite so bad. ;-> But any big change is still nerve wracking nonetheless.
The good news is, soon you'll fall into the rhythm of a new life and it'll work itself out. Here's hoping the new life is a good one. ::bottoms up!::
