I admire your sense of adventure, these days
just remembering to put the milk back in the fridge is enough of an adventure for me.

looks like the area i will be living in is heavily democratic. it's about three hours by car away from my current home (depending on TRAFFIC and waits at the border, of course)
so it will be similar but different
daisy i wish i could go to open but these days it seems i don't sit down ... i miss you guys too

i guess it is adventurous. but in a way i'm just running away.
there was that weird guy at the office.
the boyfriend that's good in bed but not so good at anything else, and he's too good in bed to dump.
the male friends that are otherwise entangled with other women and have simultaneously taken an unhealthy interest in me.
the fact that i heard a rumour that our december 15th pay cheques might be late.
the fact that everybody in the office is working insane amounts of overtime on a death march project and we're all really stressed.
my apartment was broken into again.
my car has a flat tire
i have $25 until the next time i get paidall my problems are solved ... it's like a magic fairy ... but i just read my contract and i'm selling myself into slavery with substantial financial risk to myself if it doesn't work out in the first six months (though i'm 99% sure it will ... it's that 1% that will get you every time)
i'll sign the contract, sigh, and RUN

Welcome to a nice part of our USA.

Do you know how many people would stick with situation like that just because they are afraid to leave? I'm very impressed. I've also noticed
that *insert flaky new-age music* that the universe (or something!) must work for people who don't stay in situations that aren't pleasing to them, because without exception everyone I know who has't had things fall into place for them. It's the ones
like me who stay in far too long, who always seem to have forces against them.
