I'm starting to finalize in my mind that moving out of my home is the best option, but how to get started?

categories ceiling bike rack

I’m starting to finalize in my mind that moving out of my home is the best option, but how to get started?
First of all, let me give some small details and say that I am a 19 year old University drama student. Drama is one of my biggest passions in life and I love it. That’s part of the reason why I want to leave because unfortunately, I’ve grown up in an abusive home with lots of fighting and violence. I’m telling you, I would have nightmares about my father coming to kill me. Okay, maybe he never would do that, but still, a little kid can only feel so safe. I remember one dream we had where I actually did not have a dad and my mom brought a statue home that looked just like him. Well, I was somewhat fascinated by it. Then, he actually came to life and wanted to put my on his shoulders, just like most dads. Well, once he did, he started walking towards the ceiling fan and it was going real fast. I was terrified, I tried to get out, but I was trapped. As soon as I hit it, I woke up.

My past experience with my family is an extremely long story, one that I do not feel like telling. So I will just say that I want to leave and start my life over because I don’t feel as if I had the chance to live. Currently I’m going to school with student loans, and now that I mentioned the word loan, I’m going to get at least 20 idiots on here advertising fake loan companies. Happens all the time. Anyways, I have ,944 in my account and 60 bucks on hand that I withdrew because I needed to buy a pair of headphones (music is the only thing that keeps me sane, and I need to listen to it quietly). I’ll probably just deposit it all later. I also have change that I roll, and sometimes it’s better the way because it’s harder to spend money if I have change. I’m trying to be a lot smarter with me money because the first year I probably spent a little more than I should have on junk food, but thankfully I am a fairly responsible person. I have a bike, so I don’t need a car. If I have to, I take the bus or walk everywhere. I don’t need fancy or junk food; I can survive on basics. Books I can always checkout from the library.

I should also bring up that I suffer from social anxiety due to living in this environment. I want to find a job, but the anxiety is heavily preventing me from doing so. I’m thinking that maybe if I leave home first, then I can find a job, but I don’t know how smart this is. Once I stop going to school, I’ll have to pay back lots of money, and I don’t want to rack up dept just like that. Because of the anxiety, living with a roommate would also be a huge problem, and I don’t really have any friends or family I can stay with. Again, I’m thinking that once I start living on my own, the anxiety will get better. After all, I actually had the chance to act out in the big city in my province (living in Canada here) and I felt loads better and somewhat less anxious. Once I got home, I felt that way for days, then returned to normal. I’ve already taken the steps to get over my anxiety, but something is still holding me back. Perhaps I could start off living alone, then maybe I might actually make more friends and will be able to have a roommate. Also, my sister moved across the country to live on her own, but had to come home because she couldn’t afford it, and I know her as a very temperamental person. When she came home, she seemed like she was a lot happier, but of course, she reverted back to her usual self.

So I’m sure you want me to stop writing now. The point is that I’m now starting to think that leaving is my best option and not as impossible as I once thought. I just need some tips and advice from people. I have no problem with living cheap and making sacrifices.
Actually, I don’t have a good realtionship with anybody in my family. It’s almost as if I don’t have family at all. So that wouldn’t work.

Abuse is part of it. The thing is that my parents aren’t quite as messed up as they were before, however, being around them continues to cause me considerable anxiety, and after having my trust broken in them several times, I’m starting to get fed up. So I basically want to leave, start a new chapter in life, and work on my anxiety away form them because no matter what, I can’t totally beat my problems while I’m living here.
Ohh, and I don’t have friends or family I can live with. I want to try living alone if that is possible.
I’ve tried meds before, but they made things worse. I might be open to try them again, but not while I’m living at home just because I feel they would be innefective. I understand that it’s difficult to live on your own. Believe me. But unfortunately, as long as I’m suffering from this horrible anxiety, I doubt I could handle a roommate for at least a while.

Anyone know a good way to store 8 motorcycles in small space?

categories ceiling bike rack

I’m deploying to Iraq again and need to figure out a way to store 8 motorcycle in the smallest area possible in my garage. I was thinking of building a rack and have 4 on top and 4 on the bottom.. The garage has 9 foot ceilings so if the rack is less than 6", I’d have about 4′3" on each level. Anyone know of a rack or system that could do the job? I was thinking of building a 8′x6′ platform using 4×4’s 2×4’s and some plywood. I’ll load the bikes into a truck then push them from the truck to the upper platform using a ramp to the upper platform. 4 of the bikes are 70’s and 80’s Yamaha XS650 so they don’t weigh a ridiculous amount and they could go on top. Anyone have any better ideas about the platform or a way to get them up there?

I think my girlfriend is cheating but please confirm.?

categories ceiling bike rack

Scenario:
I got back from my business trip and found my girlfriend passed out and looking hungover. Her panties—the ones she normally sleeps in next to me—were on the ceiling fan (which I thought was strange) and her bra was on the bed post. Her make up and lipstick were smeared and when I asked her what happened she grunted out, "Oh Shit. I didnn’t know you were getting home so earlier….I was gonna, uh, clean up…." Then she she flipped her head over and I saw some creamy white stuff on her face and a bungy chord. She said, "Oh that…uhhh….I had some pasta and alfredo sauce….must have splashed some on my chin and cheek…. and oh… the bungy chord is for the bike rack" And that was it. I had to leave for work and the house was clean when I got home later that day and she leaped into my arms like I was her everything. So what happened?

Does anyone know how to build a hanging bike rack?

categories ceiling bike rack

I’d like information on how to build a hanging bike rack…. You know, the ones that hang from the ceiling… I’m a sponsored BMX rider, and with a "growing collection" of bikes I need to store, a hanging rack would be good to have.
