I'M MOVING INTO MY OWN APARTMENT!! YAAAAY!!!

As you can see, I'm a little stoked lol. So here's the lo-down for people who have no idea what my situation is. (Cue long story in 3..2..1!)

Ok so my parents have been wanting to move out of Arkansas for a while (can't blame them) there was talk of going back to Florida, which I didn't mind at all, but then my dad says that we wants to go back to his old stomping ground: Michigan. Again, I wasn't apposed to this either. So I came to terms with that fact that we were FINALLY GETTING OUT OF THIS CRAP TOWN! moving. Not to mention that I was totally supportive lol. Anyway, so my parents took a week off and ventured up to the great white north to check things out while I stayed here to hold down the fort. So they come back, tell me about the town and that Dad had found a job opportunity.

*fast forwards*

So I found out yesterday that things are in full swing since my dad was waiting for a phone call from his potential boss today saying he was hired. So I was feeling a little overwhelmed because now this meant that I would need a place to live and that I would have to repack my room and do it all before school started. So I was a little (VERY) stressed yesterday. However, my mom contacted my school's housing people and found that there were two senior rooms still open, which was miraculous actually. Of course the rooms are expensive (which is why I moved home in the first place), but she also found out that they have apartments for rent. So I went to go check those out and they're not the senior dorms but for one person, they're nice and cozy.

So today, my dad got the phone call and BAM he's hired! So it's officially official! Fortunately, I don't have to actually move into the apartment until after the first week of school so I still have time to get ready. I'm very very excited about being on my own (but still being close to campus without having a curfew bwahahahaha!).

....YAY *happy dance*

Time For A Change

So it's about 3:30 AM...can't sleep (shocker) so I decided to just think out some things that have been on my mind. I've decided that it's time to let go of my high school nickname because I feel that I'm in an interesting place in life. I'm definitely not a child anymore nor am I the same person I was in high school (I seriously hope not anyway.) On the other hand, I don't feel like I'm an adult and honestly, I don't want to be an adult yet. I guess I should specify what I mean by that. Nah, I'll save it for the next post.

I've reflected on everything that's happened in my life up until now and I have reached one conclusion: there has been one constant in my life that has never slipped my mind. I have always, always felt like the misfit no matter where I was or how old I was. Even when I wasn't trying, I've just always felt different from those around me. Honestly, I don't think that's such a bad thing anymore. While I feel like a misfit, I still have cool friends and family who care for me. If people don't like me then if I can do something about it, I might and if I can't, then I'll survive. I don't really know how to explain it. Either way, I have put my high school alias behind me and adopted a new name that I feel has always described me and probably always will. I don't try to be (not as much now that I'm older) but somehow I'm just different. Now "misfit" in its traditional definition sounds negative but honestly "oddity" "rebel" or even "unique" either sound too weird, too incorrect or too sugarcoated lol.

Dictionary.com defines "misfit" (in the noun form) as "One who is unable to adjust to one's environment or circumstances or is considered to be disturbingly different from others." Some may be insulted to be defined as such but if someone described me that way, I'd probably just laugh and thank them. I'm not trying to brag about being weird or better than my peers in any way. (In the words of Popeye...)I am what I am.

So yeah I changed the name of my blog to signify a new (and yet not?) stage in my life but didn't go through the trouble of changing addresses because that's just too much trouble honestly. There are other things that have been on my mind but I think that's enough for today. I guess I have to start signing my posts differently now....hmmm.

Misfit

EDIT - Ok I totally lied about the changing address lol. I didn't know you could actually do that without starting a brand new blog but apparently you can. Schweet. Same blog, different address.
