Finally got moved to LA officially on Jan 15, Dead Dad Day. It is appropriate with dad's love of travel that I moved on the anniversary of his death. Had my auto shipped out here and it arrived on Jan 22.
Oscars are tonight; the Independent Spirit Awards were yesterday and it seems the city has been abuzz all week. Traffic has been horrendous with the Oscar-related tourists driving on unfamiliar ground. I go out of my way to avoid the roads they're on.
I recall the first 2 years after moving to Raleigh were very hard - thought of returning to Texas often. The next 8 years were much better, made fantastic friends, had wonderful boyfriends, a pretty good job. After St. Patrick's Day 2002, things were tough, but the notion that I couldn't remain in Raleigh really hit after meeting Todd briefly in LA in Feb 2003. It happened while sitting over beers at Barney's Beanery on Santa Monica. Todd and I went there for pitchers of Stella last night and laughed about that fateful day.
