My mom-in-law plans on buying bus tickets for me to move down to come live with the family. The trip will me long (A day and a half to be exact). I'll be alone on the whole trip but in the end, I finally be with the man I love.
What's amazing is that I'm ecstatic! I WANT to step out into the world! Heh, I'm so excited that I wanna pack up my things right now. ^^; However, things won't be set in stone. Mom-in-law may not have the money for the tickets if some random bill comes up, and also, I need to convince my mom to actually LET me go and not just keep me around for money (even though I have none)
But it's amazing to know that I've grown so much to conquer my fear of people. I mean, I honestly don't think I would have been able to do it had not James helped me out all this time.
Once I move out, my life can FINALLY start! I'm so happy now! ;w;
The only snag is... once I move, I won't be able to come here anymore so with that in mind, I love all you guys and I hope that things in your lives will come out great *gives entire forum a hug*
EDIT: More stuffs. :3
I know I'm kind of bumping this thread but I wanna make sure this move is perfect and don't forget anything important, so just a question to those who have already moved to their permanent home, can you give me advice of what needed to be brought with me (other than obvious things like clothes, my own paperwork, and personal belongings)?
I already have all my video game systems together that I want to bring (except for my N64 but that's only because it's broken. I'm bringing the games to it though because I have the golden cartridge of TLoZ:OoT, golden HOLOGRAPHIC cartridge of TLoZ:MM, and Pokemon Stadium)
I have my Pokemon plushies and my old Woody doll from Toy Story which I had ever since I was 3 years old. (I know it may sound odd for me to bring him along with me since I'm an adult but... can YOU part with the toy which was your "security blanket"? I know I could never let him go no matter how damaged he is. He's still my baby.)
I need to buy a lunchbox to keep filling food in I know as well as a cheap CD player just so I won't be bored to tears during the trip. Sure I have my Gameboy Color and GBA, but their batteries won't last long, plus apparantly you can develop motion sickness if you play for 6 hours strait on a bus. I mean, I know I never had motion sickness (let alone being sick in general since I have a strong immune system. The last time I was sick was in '07 with the flu)
I have my cell phone and my wallet in my purse so I KNOW I won't forget them. (probably my most important things out of all of them. xD)
--BOY ALERT! GIRL TALK AHEAD-- (skip if you don't like the topic of girl clothes)
As far as clothes I know I should go clothes shoping for new bras and underwear because I can't tell what's mine from my mom's or sisters. x-x (I'm not a girly girl at all. I just wear what I find that's comfortable)
--BOY ALERT END--
Other than what I need to bring I FINALLY figured out what I need to do inorder to get to the bus station by using the Metrolink. (I tried the Taxi company first but there's only one in the area which'll come to the town that I live and to get to the Greyhound station using their services would be like $60 atleast! I don't have that kind of money to just spend without any worry)
Luckily the Metrolink has a $2 fare so at the most I'll be spending about $4-5. Yay! That's VERY do-able.
I think that's all I have done, my mom-in-law and grandma are gonna pay for the bus tickets so if you guys have any suggestions on what else to bring or do PLEASE let me know!
EDIT again: I was wrong when I thought I was gonna leave during Febuary. I'm gonna leave in either late March or early April. Dx That seems so far away...
