I don't mind the idea of getting out on my own that much (except that overwelming fear of being homeless or having to pay a thousand dollars in bills a month). And all of you still living with parents can't say shit.
The thing that bugs me the most is the distance and the timing. Now, if he were to want me to move in 6 months, that's one thing. But he acts like he wants me to move in 2 weeks or so.
At first he just expected me to drive down to Arizona in my car without proper preperation. Normal adults go down to the new place where they'll live before they move, and find a place to live and a job to work at. He just assumed that I could drive down there and instantly find a job and eventually a place to live, after living with him for less than a month. Now he's decided to have me fly down there on a plane next week and look around.
He needs to remember that moving takes planning and doing shit. It's going to cost a lot of money for gas alone to drive 2000+ miles, not to mention moving van costs. I have to switch banks. I have to set up my cell phone for the new area. I have to register as a driver and stuff down there. I have to pack. I have to decide what I want to take and what I don't want to take. It's not like I'm fleeing the mafia here.
I really wish it was closer though. Like a few states over. Instead of across the entire damn country. Not only would it cost less in gas, hotel, and van fees, but then I could just drive to see my family.
I wish my uncle would stop acting like Arizona's fucking paradise. Ever since he moved down there he's been asking me when I was going to move too. I'd call him or he'd call me and he'd ask me when I'm moving. I'd go to visit and the first words out of his fucking mouth are "When are you moving down?" I have the right to choose where I live dammit.
And if he expects me to go to church with him once I get a place of my own... no. Nazaranes are too strict of a church.. they even frown on alcohol. I'd rather join a more liberal church.
....I have to admit though, a part of me is excited about the chance to go on a road trip and move to somewhere new and different, like it's an adventure. I just wish it wasn't a desert out in the middle of nowhere and lightyears from family.
I also wanted to drive the entire Route 66, so I'll probably do that on the way there. And then post pics here
