Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Mercy is the mark of a great man. [beat] Guess I'm just a good man. [beat] I'm alright.

Hi, all. I'd just as soon not write much about who I was when I started posting in the Buffy thread on TT. I was pretty repressed and angry, and alienated some people here my first couple of years.

So, let's fast forward. I didn't delurk last year because things were sort of chaotic, because after nine years in the Bay Area, I decided to give Los Angeles a try, and spent the summer there with a friend who's in grad school.

Things didn't work out, so I moved back to the East Bay for a few months, then to Sacramento where I've been since January. I love it here -- I can bike most everywhere I need to go, and after ten years in California, I have my own apartment and don't have to deal with roommates anymore. Life is good.

Buying a big multi-unit with a bunch of friends in a walkable pleasant small city is really not just a pipe dream, it's doable if enough people can pool enough money. And if everyone agrees on where to live

Nice to see you, Bridget!

I would love a co-housing thing. Now, even, to be quite honest.

We could start seed money for the Buffista Retirement home right now. Because I'm in.

Our wings are not tired.

Hi Bridget, it is good to hear that the move to Sacramento is working out so well.

Co-housing makes sense on so many levels. I'm open to more than one geographical area, but kinda prefer the Keys.

God, imagine the library (of all types of media)!

The library would RULE.

Hey, Laura, you're okay down there? I saw Palm Beach got hammered yesterday.

Hi Bridget! I'm glad Sacramento is working out. I'ts good to see you!

I saw Palm Beach got hammered yesterday.

We did! Mostly just a bunch of rain, and more today and tomorrow too. Sloppy tropical stuff. Since I just got back from upstate NY I have to say that rain when it is 80 out is much more tolerable than when it is 40.

Meanwhile coastal warnings and the surfers are having a blast.

Oh I can see that library clearly. The home theater wouldn't be half bad either.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It doesn't even have to be an island!

I love our little house and I love PNW. I even like the neighborhood where we live. But I want someplace that has more walkable destinations, and something more communal, with a wider diversity of background and ages. I wouldn't mind cohousing, if there are also personal private spaces. H would hatehatehate it, though. And...spousal wishes do have their weight, too. Darn it.
