I need to blow something up
My parents essentially told me I cannot move out last night. They don't think I've paid off enough of my bills to be able to finance a new apartment.
What brought it all up was that I traded another e-mail with MSG Heckart telling him that I wanted to move to Iowa City and he replied that he couldn't advise me either way because the situation with our deployment is so FUBAR'ed and secretive and that I can only decided on how well I could handle the risk that a deployment order could come just as soon as I'd gotten to Iowa City (or earlier even). I passed that along to my parents and they basically said, “So? You don't have enough money, you can't.” And they said it so matter-of-fact that I should feel stupid for not agreeing. When I added that I wasn't thinking I'd be able to get a place and a job secured for at least a month, they still said, “So? You won't have enough money.” And that's about all the further they were willing to discuss it. That's where everything stands.
