Shit's all sorts of different now.

ita, I totally got that vibe. It made me laugh.

I've been talking about this in Bitches, but it might look like there's a halfway decent chance of me getting a transfer to Philly. Who here has lived/does live (billytes - I'll need your help when you read this) there?

I have never been, but I had never been to California OR Los Angeles when I moed here, so that's not an issue.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Iffn you're bored can you make a clean version of that FAQ thing we've been working on?

I think so. I know I can from home, but the tracked changes thing might make it hard here.

Not much.

Yeah, right. If I weren't being lazy, I'd go back and see how to scream Brown belt at you.

And FYI nice lady, 5 of 12 of your CDs are done.

Yay!

Perkins! Colin just got back from the Galapagos--are you taking a cruise?

I am! did he have a fabulous time?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He did. Being Colin, he didn't take a cruise, but got fishermen to ferry him around. Loved it loved it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Aims, my parents lived in Philly for the last (yipes!) almost 20 years -- I never really lived there for more than a summer, since they moved there when I was already off in college, but I've always loved the city.

That sounds great. My mother is going too, though, so I think the fishermen thing is right out.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I found a great place in Roxborough/Manayunk (I love that name) and it just seems to be falling into a place I had no idea was open. It's strange. I love the look of the neighborhood, close to downtown, where I'd be working if it did happen, and hey! LOVE the sandwiches, although I've been told I haven't had a true one since I've never been there.

Aimee, I've never lived in Philly, but both my brother and mom are in the southern NJ suburbs within a 45-minute drive, so I can ask them any questions about living in the 'burbs, if you need!

I had a good time in the city, Aimée, but that might have been Deb's daughter and NSYNC more than the city itself. I do have a cousin finishing up medical school there, and she really likes it.

I went to college outside of Philly but didn't really get to know the place, which was my bad. I gather there's lots of decent in-city neighborhoods, and public transportation in general is decent.
