Today, I was finally leaving my hometown to live in my dream city. Everything was packed, keys were handed in, goodbyes were made. The moment my truck began pulling out to get underway, the guy I'd gotten a room from in my new city called to inform me that he'd decided to rent to someone else. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I’d been dying to escape my dreary hometown, but had panic attacks at the thought of being on my own, but at last, I'd found a place I could afford. Turns out, the guy I was going to rent from was just arrested for murdering his last tenant. FML
Today, I moved back to my home town. My best friend and I had arranged to rent a house together that we both liked. I finished my last day at work and made the three-hour drive, only for her to break down and tell me that she isn't "ready" to move out of her parents' basement. She's 25. FML
Today, my best friend decided to make some life changes. He got a new job, a new car, and asked me to move out of our apartment. We're 1,500 miles away from my hometown. I only moved all the way out here to live with him in the first place because he asked me to. FML
Today, my roommate served me with a two-week’s notice to vacate the apartment, the day before I leave for 10 days of working in a completely different city 150 miles away. FML
Today, I finished hauling all of my possessions from another state, because I was supposed to move in with my girlfriend. I was just waiting to find a job. Almost as soon as my stuff was delivered, she broke up with me and told me to figure out getting it all back by myself. FML
Today, I was finally starting to relax after a stressful and expensive move, where I had to give up half my belongings and furniture, as well as my cat. All the stress came rushing back as my new landlord told me that he's selling the building and I've got 30 days to vacate. FML
Today, my friend informed me that I’m not moving in with him anymore, and that his sister is taking my place. Unfortunately, I'd finally gathered the money and a car to move out of state with him. Just when I thought I was going to get away from this hellhole, I’m sinking further into never leaving. FML
Today, I ended things with my hometown, on-and-off-again ex-boyfriend. I leave for college soon and felt other things took priority over him (selfish, I know). I met practically every single one of his family members in the street, heard his name being screamed in a department store, and had an overall shitty day. FML
Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML
Today, I found out the person that I’ve been casually seeing has decided he wants to live with me. I found this out when I asked him to go home after two weeks sleeping over, and he told me he'd already moved out of his mom’s. I sublet a single bedroom and have barely enough room for myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least you weren't half way there. You only just left.

Poor you OP - That's so sad ... A horrible situation no one wants to be. I hope that another place pops up and you can live your dream. All the best :)

Doesn't matter. Still go! Just find somewhere else to live. Even if you have to store your stuff for a week and stay in a cheap B&B once you get there. Follow your dream.

I've always dreamed of being a hobo. You're going to be able to make that dream come true in your dream city. Good luck and buy a harmonica!

Actually, when life hands you lemons you should make Koolaid and give the lemons to a soup kitchen.

Always, always, always get things in writing! If you signed a contract, his phone call is worthless.

If it's a dream city, there's a hotel there where you get constant, free hand jobs and a boarding house made of candy you can eat and never get fat. What kind of boring-ass dreams do you have?

Do you have the number for that hotel? I need to make a reservation.
perdix 31
Yes, I do, but it is in my pocket and two beautiful women have their hands in them and they are, um, busy. Here, you tip them with happy thoughts and dirty donuts. What a dream!

Dirty donuts? Lol! Perdix, you're priceless!

#26, I'm a he and insomnia does free up some time for playful FML banter.
zandalee 20
Insomnia is a bitch.
perdix 31
Yeah, especially when you have dreams like the Dream City I described earlier.

Sougstad - You seem relatively new here so I'm going to give you a few pieces of advice. First, learn the difference between "your" and "you're". You'll get continually crucified by those annoying Grammar Nazis if you don't. Second, learn proper punctuation. See point #1 for the reason. Third and most importantly, don't ******* worry about other commenters and their commenting habits. I'm quite sure perdix is a big boy and can manage his time without your goddamned help. I do this because I ******* care. Are we good here? Yes? Good.

What does it matter to you if perdix leaves three or thirty comments? I didn't even notice they were his until I saw yours and went back and read usernames...
