So I let my parents know that this whole moving out thing is happening.
I realized I own a damn lot of moveout-y shit already. Like tupperware, plates/bowls, glasses, silverware, tea and coffee things...a plant. Things I can hang over doors to store stuff, way way too much furniture, but it includes two 4ft tall book cases, two desks (one of which I may not bring or it might become a dinning table thing) and 1 dresser I would actually take with. Most things would probably end up in the living space, bookcases/desks.
My dad says to find a 2 bedroom place, but chicago is notorious for having 1+ bedroom places that are like "Oh and this bedroom plus a den!" because they can not legally call it a bedroom if it doesn't have a window and a closet...or something. So I will be hoping for one of those, and then letting my roommate have the actual bedroom because I'm picking the location.

I was saying once everyone was kind of like 'oh this is happening, well it seems like you've thought of things' that everything lately in my life has been all crazy and I don't know what is happening. I'm just kind of rolling with it? My mom said how even though it's crazy it isn't really bad crazy. Which is true. I just don't understand things.

so yeah, I have to start wearing my big girl pants on mondays because I have to look for apartments and call people. Move in would be august 1st or september 1st if need be.

I hung out with ellen and louis today at the conservatory. I realized later that I have a really hard time hearing what he is saying. Regular listening I have to sort of translate what I'm hearing into something my brain can understand so there is a mild delay most people don't see. Then when I'm around new people who's speech patterns I'm not use to I have to listen harder to them so I can catch everything, because my brain will play madlibs with every single thing they say. It's busy filling in words and I don't hear what is really being said. The third layer is that he is a guy and I have a harder time understanding what men are saying, like their volume or tendancy to mumble or something make it hard to hear for me.

So ...I am a weirdo. This is a perfect example of what is generally refered to as a Learning Disability. It's just not obvious a whole lot because I'm already use to processing through sounds to make words of them. I can not listen and be doing something else at the same time. This also probably why I don't really hear lyrics in songs, I'm not really listening and it just is another instrument to me, another sound. I don't take the time to make sense of it because I am doing other things.

Now, something about a palm lamp in animal crossing?
