Finally done moving. This will be a WEIRD year.
Granted, I'm glad as all hell to be out of that place. I loved the house, and at times I loved living there, but being the manager and a tenant just gets overwhelming when you're trying to get on with a career. Fix this, replace that, buy this, spend money on that... Uh oh... Someone moved out, better find someone quick to fill that room! 2 people moved out? Get going, find 2 more.
Eff that. I'm done. Granted, I still feel like the manager since I'm over there twice a week, but soon that will be done, and I can rest at ease. Just a few more projects, and I can leave the new tenants alone and pass over the manager gig to some other family member. (tip for the future: Don't manage a house owned by family. 'Nuff said.)
However, it is nice to be settled into a new place. Even though it's not really a new place... It's a very old place... And it brings back memories from when I was younger. Like I said, this will be a weird year. A year of work, of hard practice, a year to really get going on this career thing. Grad school? Straight to auditions? More teaching somewhere else? I'm kinda looking hard at Southern California. Just need to get out of here.
Well, now that I'm all done and settled, I'm just bored as hell. Did some serious cleaning house this past summer. Kicked out the old room mates, moved out, ditched the old truck, threw away almost everything I owned, hell, I even broke up with my girl. (Should have any way...) Even ditched some friends who where really dragging me down. (It's rather depressing to live in a house where your own friends and family stop coming by simply because one of my roommates is a dick.) It's a whole new world.
But now it's hitting me. This is the new me. It's time to get working on what that will be. Will I be different? Hells no. Same old Erik. Just more focused, and maybe more financially aware.
But now it's hitting me. Being out of (essentially) a bachelor pad, with a bunch of college roommates, everything kinda slows down. I don't see people as often. I'm not as up to date on the party or nightlife scene as before. The loneliness is kinda starting to bug.
I just want to meet someone who I can watch a movie and cuddle with. Right now, that's it. Is that so fucking hard?
