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!)
Suniiiiilll!!!
Anne, good news about the house!
Great news on the house, Anne. That must be a relief!
The LJ crash was the topic of much conversation at Emily's party last night. The party was tres fun, and I ate lots of chocolate chip cookies and potato chips. I was just so attracted to them. Yum! Should have taken some cookies home with me. You know, just put them in my pocket... no, actually, vw wanted us to take stuff, but we were too much out the door to stop and take in that aspect of leaving. All food was delicious!
It's cold and will be snowy today. Tom doesn't feel well, hasn't since yesterday afternoon.
Woud like to eat chicken salad with Deb and pretend math talk isn't happening.
Cashmere, I keep trying to respond to your LJ post but I think your journal may still be down.
OK, back to snuggle with my husband.

Which I find so amusing, because I had maybe an hour online yesterday--less--and my heart bottomed out when I found out LJ was down. My best friend said I looked quite distressed. And then it's up today, and people started writing about what they did in lieu of LJ. It ended up sounding like a where-were-you-when-Kennedy-was-shot kind of thing.
I can't seem to decide on a conclusive one.
I've been out of the LJ loop of late (lots of reading, but not much posting) and even I missed it.
