I'll be moving this weekend and week.
I just bought a house.
Huge step and a little scary.
Brian
yes, I'm still around.

I remember the first time I bought a house. It was both scary and fantastic at the same time. I wish you good luck and a good time moving in and settling down there!

There's an old Jewish proverb: "A change of place is a change of luck."

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)

Thanks all, I knew you would say something like that Timmy. 
Good because I'll be saving alot of money per month than my rental,
Bad because now I feel sorta like I have to grow up, but don't want to.

Brian, you have something tangible to show for your efforts now. Like Timmy said, you dont have to grow up, but be proud of what you have accomplished. I have never stopped enjoying life and dont you either. I still skateboard and go to Disney World and Universal studios every chance I get.
If you stand for Freedom, but you wont stand for war, then you dont stand for anything worth fighting for.

Hell..... life isn't enjoyable.... all it is is something to do until I die....
And the sooner the better.......

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Look back on your life and I think you will see that it was the special people you were with that gave you the most enjoyment out of life. So, perhaps, it is a matter of searching for the special friendships you need to bring joy into your life. You have good friends here but web friends aren't enough. We need people whom we can touch and who can touch us back.
You can wish upon a star but that won't take you very far. Or you can hold a hand to make life really grand.

The special people in my life are either dead or have left me.....
I am as totaly alone as one could imagine.....
The only interaction I have with other people is either at school..... which is an uncomfortable situation..... or on the internet.....
I have nothing here..... nothing and no one.....

Do not despair my friend. Your present situation is just for the now. Continue to be the sweet person you seem and eventually things will change. Most of us go through periods where we lose friends and family from death, moving etc. But time has a way of bringing new people into our lives to replace those we have lost. But do not spend all your free time behind the computer - be out where the people are. And don't be afraid to take that first tentative step towards reaching out to someone just to say hi. Long journeys begin with small steps.

You are not totally alone. You have many friends here if you are prepared to accept them ( even if some of us are a bit dodgy)
Here is a poem from todays EFT newsletter, I thought may give you something to think about.
Aussie
Roses of Life
I've dreamed many dreams that never came true.
I've seen them vanish at dawn.
But I've realized enough of my dreams, Thank God,
To make me want to dream on.
I've prayed many prayers, when no answers came,
Though I waited patient and long,
But answers came to enough of my prayers
To make me keep praying on.
I've trusted many a friend that failed
And left me to weep alone,
But I've found enough of my friends true blue
To make me keep trusting on.
I've sown many seeds that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon,
But I have held enough golden sheaves in my hands
To make me keep sowing on.
I've drained the cup of disappointment and pain
And gone many days without song,
But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.

I have tried all of that. I spent 20 years in solitude waiting for who left me...
I don't heve another 20 years to wait... and to be honest I don't want into another relationship again...
I dare not take that chance... It would only end the same...
Right now there is only one thing I really want...
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

What I was afraid of actually happened. They turned the electric and
water on yesturday. YEP, 2 huge water leaks in the plumbing.

Hmmm ... when I bought my flat, turning on electricity was OK. Turning on water was OK. Turning on the gas ... the previous owner had ripped her gas cooker out of the wall, and disconnected it by sawing the gas pipe in half!
Fortunately, my then flatmates brother was a plumber / heating engineer: he came round the next day and sorted us out. But spending our first night with no heating, cooking, or coffee-making facilities was grim ...
Hope things work out for you.

Easy to be wise after the event, but a full survey would have found this stuff. And you would have had redress against the surveyor if he had not.
But leaks are fixable.

These are things that give a house character - even more so than the character that moves into it!
