The Big News

[aphrodite_mine]

Spring is, traditionally, when change happens, when love begins.

And, in the spirit of that (and yet completely unrelated, it just seemed like a good lead-in)... I'm moving to Southern California in two months to live withmajesdane .

I'll be busy until then: getting rid of furniture, cleaning out things I won't need, finding a home for my beasts, WisCon withprozacpark  andmeganbmoore ,not_primetime , finishing travel plans, CONvergence withshadowen  and mage_girl (who I had the pleasure to meet last weekend!) and my lady and possible-no-definite Homestuck cosplay, finishing what projects I can, finding a job, so much packing, gettingbeverytender  back home, planning, planning, planning, visiting St Louis to say sayonara to my family and friends there, possibly having some sort of gathering here to see me off, and oh yeah, PACKING.

And then, my friend Ben and I hit the road with the UHaul and my car. We're making a bit of an adventure of it and, as we've both been slacking in the original writing department, an inspiration trip.

Of course, once I get there, I'm not sure how radio silent I'll be. Settling in, getting acclimated to a new job, sexy times... and eventually re-enrolling long distance to perform the English department's very first thesis defense via Skype. Oh, and considering re-joining roller derby just as a player.

I'm excited about what the future holds, and about breaking the near future down into manageable weekly and daily goals. Mmm. This girl loves a good plan.

Hopy shit, good for you! I am dazzled by all the changes! <333

My goodness, I know. I may hit myself with the moving truck at some point. And the moving crying jags haven't started yet, so that's something to look forward to.

One would think, after moving at least once a year for the past six, I'd be desensitized to the process by now!

Anyway... ::TOSSES CONFETTI:: DAZZLE!

Wow, that's exciting and a bit terrifying!

Just a bit! But I'm trying not to dwell on that part, and focusing on the HOLY CRAP AMAZING part. :)
