In about a month I am going to be finally moving out of my parent's house, much to my mother's distress. She doesn't want me moving out of range of her meddling in my affairs. XD

I'm going to be rooming with  MitchKenzo! It's rather exciting because we share a lot of interests and have a habit of both thinking of the same thing(often in the form of crude jokes) at the same time. It's definitely not normal for me to express myself so openly, but to say this is a dream come true is actually the truth! I would never have thought that someone who just happened to find my work on Eka's Portal and noted me would turn out to be a fellow asexual, vorephile, and navel lover, as well as game fanatic, skilled writer, and listener and participator on hours long philosophy discussions. He's also the first person in my life I could actually call my best friend. I had heard about asexuals living happily together to simply enjoy one another's company but while I considered joking about it from time to time I never actually broached the subject with him. I'm very prone to expecting the worst and thus having this opportunity given to me makes me feel very lucky.

I've been working on a theory that asexuals have an urge to find someone who is a lifelong best friend, someone they can tell anything, and trust completely. That person's gender is not important because asexuals don't seek romantic pursuits. It's all a matter of coming across that one person with just the right personality and interests. Hence the term 'best friend for life'. I think my moving in with him will be very mundane compared to the things that happen when two furries normally decide to share the same living space. We'll see if my theory is true or if I've just been so socially walled off most of my life I'm just learning to want other people's company for the first time. XD

I am taking some risks in doing this of course, and I don't manage well with risks. I'm going to have to leave my job of 6 years and all the benefits and connections it comes with, leave most of my things behind, and decide to either see if my car can take the wear of a trip from Virginia all the way to Texas, or look into a train service that apparently takes you car with you as well. I have enough money in the bank to hold my own for a few months, and I sincerely worry about not finding a job because of the economy. When I get down there(and escape winter, ha!) aside from finding a place to put all my cactus plants I'll have to get him to show me around the area and immediately start trying to get work.

It's going to be weird not having to hide my furry interests, and even meeting other furries as well. When you've spent most of your life hiding... yourself you don't even know what the alternative is like! He seems to visit other ones a good bit, and I find myself looking forward to it. I told Mitch I'd never be able to go to a Con by myself, but I have a feeling he'll be dragging me into one sooner or later. I'll probably have to get over my aversion to being touched really fast! I'm feeling odd over how we've only ever interacted using our online aliases, because after a few years it feels more real to go by those than by your own real name. I feel like my name is Avereth moreso than anything else. I've joked we'd only be able t otalk to one another by going into our separate rooms and IMing one another. I suppose the fantasy that I'm a hyena and he's a lion can't last forever though, it's a bit sad since I think i'd be very cuddly if I was a hyena. XD

I don't think I'll miss too much about Virginia. I certainly won't miss the humidity or the just above freezing days where it's both rainy and windy. I will miss the snow however, and possibly the mountains and forests as I'm used to seeing. I'll also be leaving the place where  Dragoneer and  ECMajor live, though I doubt I ever would have had the chance to meet them anyway- both because I wouldn't want to bother them and I'm also extremely shy. I recently found out another furry was going to the same college as I am, but I never did get to meet him. I also have a friend who openly admits he's furry, but I have never all these years admitted likewise to him because of the risk he might tell our other shared friends. I'm still tempted to tell him somehow, though it might blow his mind trying to combine that and asexuality together.

So anyway....one month to go before my entire world is uprooted and changes... I'm worried, excited, and kind of feeling like you do when you get to that big drop on a new roller coaster you've never ridden before. :)

-edit: feel free to make 'moving in together' jokes even though Mitch and I are both asexuals, it will amuse me to make the most grossly erotic replies possible involving the word 'murr'. XD
