Well I've finally finished moving out of the parental house as of yesterday and God DAMM doesn't it feel good

. I woke up this morning and felt like I should be doing some kind of big splashy musical number along the street because I was in such a good mood. Even 2 hours at work has failed to dent my mood, the trip from Stratford was even less stressful than my previous journey to work.

Everything is still in boxes and my furniture is still piled around where me and my da left it last night but I don't care. I got to spend an evening with my housemates playing a variety of card games, watching Buffy and The Fifth Element and just chilling. Pure bliss.

I keep thinking of stuff I can do in the new house, like put up shelves in the living room, paint my room, stick up a bizarre collage of postcards and images on my door and it's back to having a silly grin on my face.

*happy sigh* Yeah I know it won't last but it's great at the moment

Yeah, no matter the reasons for moving in, moving out, it's a wonderful feeling to move into your own place.

Congratulations Al! I know exactly what you mean, and let me assure you, it does last. Even when I'm paying the bills and cooking and cleaning and all that, it's rare for me not to appreciate just how much better it is than living with the folks.

And my advice to you is to let your adolescent self run free. Strut about nude, smoke cigarettes, get drunk, have sex, all in your very own house. Do all the things you planned on doing when you were 16 and wished you had your own place ...

Well I think I can manage just about anything apart from the casual nudity

. Sharing with two other blokes and none of us are that way inclined (or indeed much to look at

).

Oh I forgot to mention a few of the 'features' of the house, I used to be inhabited by Drama students who left such things as a large perspex crystal thing in the basement (and what I nice basement it is too) and odd mirrored writing on the bathroom floor. We also have a cubboard under the stairs far too small to put anything in but which has bolts...on the inside.

Ed thinks we have small stair gnomes but I'm expecting 9 or so dwarf international criminals to come piling out one night. We have a large latex hammer to stun them with should it be necessary.

Cool!

All we've recieved from the previous residents is swearwords written on the wall in crayon, a broken shower and regular porn catalogues in the mail addressed to 'Roy Crumblehome'..

Just don't go arsing about in the kitchen with it. Or one of you'll smack it against the counter-top, and find that it flies up and whacks you in the face, giving you temporary amnesia and making you call yourself "Lord Budley".

Ah, Charles In Charge. Formed my views, I tell you.

I am very envious, though. Huzzah for you!

Hopefully, I'm moving early-Jan, if I can swing it...
