Wait for it...

I've been living in a state of delayed gratification for... my entire life.

Well, maybe that's an exaggeration. For as long as I've been out of the house, I suppose. Which honestly feels like it's been forever.

Anyways, since leaving the nest, I've always lived in a state of flux. Since I'm always moving, I never know where I'll be next, or how my needs or circumstances will change.

This has led to a pattern of consumerism where I'll only buy things if they're cheap, easy to pack or disposable. Likewise, my housing for the past eight (!) years has more often than not just been a place where I store my (limited) assortment of knickknacks. Places rarely feel like a home if they are chosen and furnished with ease of exit in mind.

This is about to change!!! The days where I see something nice and think "..if only I had a place to put that.." are about to come to an end! I'm going out west, and I'm determined to make myself a home.

On that note, guess what I bought this morning? A wii! (btw, Robbie, if you're reading this, I shipped a wii to your house this morning. I hope this is ok.)

I haven't even decided when I'll be moving out, but already, I've stocked my yet-to-found home with the stuff of dreams!
