I moved (with pictures!)

One week ago on Monday, Jack and I moved into our brand new apartment.

I will preface this post: it's a beautiful apartment. It feels more like a home than any place I've lived so far. Everything was worth it.

That said, this was the most goddamn horrific move ever. Ever. I know I'm prone to hyperbole, but seriously, I have never wanted to kill myself or someone else so many times in the span of 48 hours.

This is how Damon decided to move -- he rented the largest moving truck known to man, and he got it the day before our deadline. We could have learned a lot from Damon.

Hey, at least I was labeling.

This is not a good job of labeling.

This is what our truck looked like at our noon deadline. Whoops.

Carissa bailed our asses out like crazy, tetris-ing the shit out of our moving truck. Head Bitch in Charge, for real.

Labeling becomes livejournal.

Full goddamn truck. Everything literally JUST fit.

Beers for breakfast at 1pm.

Bye bye, living room.

Bye bye, other side of the living room.

Bye bye, kitchen.

Adios, porch-slash-patio.

We transported the fish in a Blue Bunny ice cream bucket. One of thirteen survived. He is called Dazzler, and he is a fucking trooper. During the transportation, I only got fish water splashed on me about thrice, which is a very small number considering how long they sat on my lap.

EMPTY TRUCK. Thank you Jesus and Kyle Johnson, who may be the same person.

The other side of the new place. Sigh.

Oh yeah, I dropped a couch on my leg.

Close up, to accentuate the epic failure.

This fucking bookshelf deserves a blog post all to itself, and someday it may happen. Let's just say the moral of the story is: don't buy anything pre-assembled from Ikea if you're not sure whether or not it will fit in your vehicle. We disassembled the entire goddamn bookshelf in the parking ramp and had to reassemble it when we got it home. Son of a bitch.

Re-assembling this piece of Satan was almost as annoying as unassembling it. Trust me. (Also now it is brown and red, not that horrific white.)

All this said, I love my new place, I love my new neighborhood, and it was all fucking worth it.
