The hardest part was letting go...

Well, today marks the last day of this chapter in my life. Something big--huge even--takes palce tomorrow.

(Suspenseful pause...)

I get my own room again. First, let's take a trip into 1752 N. Evening Shade Dr.'s history for a moment...

December 1, 2004 - Drew Nelson & I officially move into this house. We had no furniture or anything really, but we were content to sleep on the floor. We also had no heat on a cold December night.

December 3, 2004 - I have officially moved into my room. Everything I own is all in one place. It 's just me in my own huge room. After six months of sharing a room with Beasley in a one bedroom apartment where Drew slept on a bed in the living room, this new room and new house is complete bliss.

June 11, 2005 - I return from Turkey to an empty house. It's just me in complete solitude--what a wonderful thing.

September ?, 2005 - For some reason, I invited Moser to live with us--sharing my room. My room is cut in half. It starts out fun though, but misery will soon set in.

March 15, 2006 - I still like Moser, but I'm glad to be moving out of this horrid room. I no longer have to worry about his sleep patterns, wait for him to get out of the shower in the mornings, hear his alarm clock go off at 6:00, go to bed (including changing) in complete dark, listen to music with headphones when he's listening to Michael Buble on his laptop, freeze to death when he has the room at Ice Age temperatures (that's what he's comfortable with being a caveman and all), or any other of those tiny annoyances that creep in after 6 months of living in the same room.

It's the end of an era. This room and I have had some good times, but I think it's time to move on. Moser and I have had some good times, but I'm content seeing him in the living room and what not. Sure, I'll be moving into a smaller room. That doesn't matter. Though it's smaller, no other human being will be living in it with me. For that, I am thankful.

Goodbye room. You will be missed.
