And there she goes!
17 years ago
My houseguest of several months, one Iiji Crabcakes, she of the Motherfucking Nutella, hit the road this morning at a quarter to nine am.
She arrived on my door during a period of major tumult. She was witness to one of the most stressful periods of my life, and godammit after the past five years that, my friends, is saying something. She was here and we both survived. We got in each others' hair---it's impossible not to, in this closet where I live--and on each other's nerves. The friendship took a pounding and came out the other side, saying "fuck you! I'm not going away."
Away she zooms, leaving sad puppies in her wake. Ellie and Barnum will miss their little creampuff playmate. So will their dad. I'll miss the Morro's mum. She was good company. And the friendship said "Things rarely work out how you think they will. Make room to take the results for all they offer. No expectations. Find the happiness in what is, not in coulds...or shoulds....or woulds."
Speed that girl on, everybody. Send her your love. Give her your good wishes and power vibes of support. She's on a mission, a five-point miracle-grow blueprint for the future. Such expeditions don't always get the support they deserve. If you know her, take a minute and beam some positive waves her way. And if you don't, hell, go ahead and send some positive waves her way anyway.
All that good stuff comes back to you in the end.

Hear hear for the road to be traveled!
And hear hear for the solace of one's own home!
I can't wait to hear an update on your end...how the job front's working out and all?
I just got over a wicked stomach flu :( but am actually close to getting my life reassembled only to have it smattered back into disarray once my 2 weeks of shoot dates comes up at the end of the month. It's kinda funny because I didn't seek it out at all, but I'm going to end up getting paid to play a furry character (well, scalie) in this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457400/ I get a fancy costume an everything ;)
Anyway, glad to hear of your resurfacing once in awhile :D
I am doing fine, aside from the flu. Will be jumping aboard another company next week, but it feels like third time really WILL be the charm. Fingers crossed. More news at eleven!!
Congrats again!! Yay!! *hugs*
Any change of scenery coming with the new job? Where's it located around?
So we plan date, chow down! Zip me an email witch yo' schedule, my mighty actin' compatriot!
The OC is....bland. It's the sort of community made to make Republicans comfortable. Low on character, high on convenience. There are so many malls I can still get disoriented. Still, if you want a Target or a Lowe's, hey, drive five minutes in any direction and you're liable to find one.
LA and San Diego have the virtue of being older. They've got much more variety, an established music and art scene, lots of great places to eat and so on. If I had my druthers, I'd live Up North. But this company's local, which is awesome. (I'll tell ye more soon!)
Did she bus or fly?
I'm assuming since you said, "Hit the road" she's goin Greyhound.
I know she's looking forward to hanging with you two when she can. It's gonna be lonesome for her in Buffalo. *hugs*
Man that's a long drive though. It's rough driving that far without someone to help drive.
Upstate NY is infinitely cheaper than this area, let me tell you, Bapu. Jeebus, things are expensive around here, and I thought the Northwest was getting pricey.
But! She's got a Plan in Mind, Iiji does, and that will make this return a Mission and a temporary thing. You two are good folks, straight through. You'll be good company. Wish I was there to hang out with ye, too.
I dunno if WNY could handle that shit. XD
It may yet happen! We can aim for such a thing!!
I am SO SORRY I was sick when you and Babs came down! GOD that was a pisser. That's the second time I've felt like shit when we've gotten together. What a habit to develop. I promise I won't do it again!
Dude, don't worry about the illness thing. Taco Bell likes to add SARS to their cinnamon twists. Or it could have been a poorly contained test for a chemical weapon made to debilitate and infect the enemy with Tennis Elbow. Either way, we'll be back, and I'll see if Max has a day off to come down too!
Hey, maybe the next time it'll be ME coming up THERE. I'm still game for a museum trip! Or maybe we could hit a park, or the beach.
Far far too talented. :)
