sammy moved out on wednesday. he had been talking about it since the summer, and mom was finally driving him crazy enough that he went through with it. he's living with his friend sarah and her family. she's a cool girl and it's good that he's closer to school and work now. 

the night before he left he asked me what he should take. i told him; clothes, books, bedding, a lamp....and maybe he should buy some shampoo. the next morning i got in the shower to find he had taken mine. 

when i moved away to ohio i didn't really miss my family. but being at home again, i feel it a little more sharply. the other night i came home from a long day at school and slipped right into easy conversation and sharing music and news with both of my brothers. i can be so completely silly around them. not that i have trouble being silly around other people. it's just slightly different--childlike and comfortable and completely forgiving.

richie's heading out in january. then it'll just be me and mom. totally ass backwards. i'm supposed to move out first. though. i guess i did. i just. moved. back. (first!)

 probably the house will stay clean a little more easily. maybe. but for sure my mom will drive me 3x as crazy.

whatevsies.
