the lonesome lows don't quite go away overnight

Final day of WisCon... need to formulate a post but I'll probably do it somewhere more private as I've had more frustration and anger in terms of programming than satisfaction and pleasure.

Had a few run-ins with my tricky emotional state, but overall having some awesome interactions and spending time with Cool People From the Internets. Also Madison, despite having been designed by a drunken idiot* is amazing.

*dashes off*

*disclaimer: I don't know this for a fact at all.

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.
