Moving Update: or, Reflections on Being a Materialistic Bastard
Yesterday from 9 AM to 7 PM I cleaned out my storage room. 40+ boxes of books and toys. I have so much crap it is embarassing. I remember when Michael, James, and I were moving the boxes into the storeroom. Depending on how heavy the box was we said things like "Shit!" for a heavy box, and "JF!" for a really heavy box. I'd forgotten about that, then when I'd pick up a really heavy box I'd think "This was one of those JF boxes."
Everytime I move I end up with 4 or 5 boxes that end up being labeled "Misc. Stuff". As I was packing my apartment I noticed that happening again. Then as I was hauling shit out of the storeroom I noticed there were 5 or 6 "Misc. Stuff" boxes in there too. Lots of crap to sort through. I can't wait to open the box that says "shit books."
Of course all my books were divided by subject, then shelved alphabeticaly by author. You know you have too many books when there is a box labeled "Civil War, A - D."
By 8 PM I was dieing, every muscle in my body screaming for rest, and I got to come home to....
Ask Himself If It's Him or Them That's Really Insane
One of my neighbors (place I'm moving away from) went nuts last night and locked herself in her bathroom, wanna die, gonna kill myself, etc. etc. So me and another lady called campus police, ended getting a psychologist on the phone, talked to me and other helping lady, said she wanted crazy lady evaluated, we had to fill out / be witnesses for an "Involuntary Committal Order." So me and this other lady are down at the magistrates office at 3 AM doing all that. They ended up taking her to hospital to be evaluated and we haven't seen her since.
The magistrates office was filled with a great cast of characters waiting to bail people out of jail. When we were having trouble with the Committal Form, the lady waiting next to us said "Oh I know all about those, let me help you." I wished for the pen of James to do the scene justice.
