I get to go through my crap & throw away all the useless stuff. I also love setting a new place up & seeing my world from a new perspective. Yeah. I'm an idiot. I know.

I know I won't want to be hauling fifty pound crates of books and shoes up several flights of stairs, so I pack up all my 'non-essentials' into garbage bags, call up Big Brothers, and say goodbye to several pay cheques worth of shopping sprees. And then I get to my new apartment, unpack my things and scream "WHERE THE FUCK IS ALL MY STUFF?!" A couple times, I've actually cried over things I've gotten rid of and then changed my mind about.

Three of my last four moves (Indiana to Texas, Texas to Prague, Prague to Belfast) involved movers and all three times, it was a nightmare. Moving from Indiana to Texas, my stuff sat in a storage unit for far, far longer than they assured me it would, which left me three weeks into my Texas life living off an air mattress on my living room floor watching TV (which I sensibly took with me in the car) and eating off of paper plates with plastic forks. My move to Prague was an even bigger nightmare in which I had to fight with the moving company to get my stuff delivered to my parents in New York a month after I left the country and TWO MONTHS after they picked my stuff up. As regards my move from Prague to Belfast, I was assured my boxes would arrive a week after I arrived, which was fine. Until they arrived six weeks later. I'd much rather pay my mates in pizza and beer than the incredibly inept movers. And don't tell me their mistake screwing you over wasn't a giant hassle!
