Expect
So I moved out today. I was the last one of the three of us to start packing and the first one to finish. All that's waiting is the dreaded unpacking, sorting, and re-packing process. And my job. In theory, I have a job waiting for me.
I was here for less than an hour before my family started to drive me nuts. Ugh, Christ.
What was amusing, though, was when my mom and Maddy said that we needed to talk about what was expected of me for the next two weeks. One of them actually used the phrase, "Lay down the law." Which to really appreciate, you have to understand that there hasn't been any "law" to speak of for at least two years. Really they were just setting me up to give me a present. It was a new trench coat. (They're talking about burning the old one.)
I love my mom, and I love Maddy, too. (Or, as Dan calls her, "The tough lesbian ex-cop with a motorcycle and a heart of gold.") But I'm already plotting ways to spend as much time as possible out of the house. It's not that my family is annoying. It's just awkward for me to be here. I feel like a foreign exchange student. For serious.
