...So I found out yesterday that, in the likeliest of likelihoods, I'll have to move back in with my parents.

I understand the reasons why. My parents just can't afford to keep paying for my rent and utilities and insurance and pretty much everything else they do every month. I can't afford to get a new job while I'm going to school; all the other students who've been working have had to drop out of several classes. I really need a new car, because it keeps needing expensive maintenance, and I just can't afford a new car as long as I'm living here. And my parents have always been proponents of me living on my own, so the fact that they're saying I need to move back in means that I really need to.

I just...really don't want to move back home. I hate moving as it is because I hate all the time and energy it takes to uproot stuff and then pack it and then unpack it and put it in new places again, even if in this case it wouldn't be a far move and it'd just be my stuff (and I don't have that much stuff). And I mean, I get along with my parents fine; it's not so bad as I know some people are with their parents. But I haven't lived with them for almost five years. I'm used to my own way of doing things, eating what I want, swearing if I happen to, keeping my own hours, making jokes I know my friends will get, etc. etc. And I love my friends. I've lived with them for a long time, and I really don't want to move away from them now. I feel bad enough having to put them in the position of re-figuring out rent and stuff. -_- Yeah, it's not far away enough that I could never ever visit, but there's just something different about living with them and away from them. And I just really, really don't want to do it.

But I suppose I have to. And I'll probably have to do it the week after this first term is over; aka the week before Anime Expo. So much for having a week off.

At least I wouldn't be getting my old room, which actually wasn't a proper room; it was the loft, so there was no door or walls. I'd get my brothers' old room, which is much bigger, and I'd get my own bathroom. My parents even said they'd help get me a small TV and DVD player so that I can watch whatever I want in my room and hook up my PS2 there. And then I wouldn't have to worry about paying rent or utilities or food or any such stuff, or even worry about cooking. The commute would be much worse, though. Almost an hour and a half each way, uuuugh.

Still...mmmmrrrrgh. I don't want to move. X(
