Hee. I would treat it with restraint and understanding. I convey my understanding by humming the theme from Jaws.
Billytea is very wrong and very funny.
Cass, kudoes to you. I'm so glad that you're making this positive change for yourself. I know firsthand how terrifying a major move like that is, but I believe you are making the right decision. That said, I also hope that you eventually move back down to San Diego! I love having you so close.

In meme news, I have completed all but THREE of my narratives. That's right, folks, 59 of 62 done. The next time I post here, it will be to crow in triumph and then collapse into a brainless heap.
It sounds like a new start is a good thing.
Thank you. I think it really will be the best thing right now.
I wonder how long a drive it is to Portland from here...
A leeetle farther than to here but with less potential traffic issues. However, Ashland OR is about five for each of us... Not just a halfway point but also one of my favorite places anywhere. My uncle lives about five miles from there and he's not only fabulous and wonderful but also gracious to guests being all priestly and such.

And your ... um ... restraint?

Does that mean I can bring my cassock with me?

Sure. Did you want to play dress up? Now I need to Google Ashland to show you how amazing it is there.
You so need to get that kid an acoustic guitar.
Screw that. I'm hoping she gets a girlfriend. She's not gay but everyone experiments at school, right? And her parents would have meltdowns. Big ones.

Yay! You will deserve the collapse and sleep that follows.

Thank you. I did the big scary blind move once before -- to Tempe when I was college-aged and it was the best decision I could have made -- but this seems a little scarier what with the life experience and time that has gone by already. I think it is for the best though.
And your ... um ... restraint?
Oh, I keep that in the basement.
DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE!!!
Sleep now.
Sleep now... Tell us about it later.
Damn, I wish I could take my own advice and sleep now.
You people should go to sleep.
Cass, I applaud your Portland moving plans. I'd go there if I were footloose and fancy free. I
would've
gone to New Orleans but it's all gone now. Has everybody seen the plans for reconstruction? It's slated to be a quarter of its previous population - in short, black neighborhoods like the Ninth Ward will not be rebuilt. All that will be left will be Disney New Orleans. Feh.
Back from Dark Sparkle where people were beautiful and danced well and had cool retro/goth/glam styles working for them. And, of course, we were also adding to the general store of beautitude.
We walked Juliana home and watched one beefy guy on the street hug her ("I did tequila shots with him last night" she explained) and then heard her serenaded from the bar across the street: "Ju-LI-ahhhh-na, Ju-LI-Ahhhhh-na!").
"How long have you been here, again?" we asked
"Three weeks."
