Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Ahhh! Silly me. I should have guessed this one.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Good morning! I've decided to spend the entire day in the internet cafe. Watching people recover from LJ being down is tres amusing.
Soon I'll have to worry about basic car maintenance. Not that I can afford it. Or car insurance. Or gas, really. But I'll still have a car.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Well, I met with the realtor yesterday. It appears that the house should sell fairly quickly, and for about 30% more than I paid for it. Whee!
The not-so-fun part of all of this is that I have to repaint, and I have about three weeks in which to do it all. It's doable, but I fear my tendency to procrastinate. Ergo, Best Friend is coming over here in about 15 minutes to drag my lazy ass over to Home Depot.
So, it looks like I'll be back in St. Louis in March or April.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sweet, Anne! I missed something. Why are you moving?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Why are you moving?
Oh, it's a long, long story that can be boiled down into three basic parts.
1) I'm having trouble finding a job out here that pays enough for me to support myself.
2) I miss my mom, dad, and assorted family members who all live in the St. Louis area.
3) The cost and pace of living in St. Louis are much saner than there are here, and I could live as well as I did here on much, much less money.
It wasn't an easy decision, but I feel certain it's the right one. I'll be leaving behind a couple of very good meatspace friends. At least you all will be moving with me, or at least you will be when I get my internet connection in my new home.

Where are you living now, Anne? I seem to have blanked.

I know all about this, eh? Good luck!
Hm. I think, perhaps, I will add to my tentative bullshit plan, since it makes me feel better if I have some goal to stick on my mental calendar so at least it's not a big blank void, that my next step after another year here is to move to California and work at the San Francisco Chronicle.
(Liltyyyyyyyyy!)
