to continue
I have this 'if I won the lottery' plan, as many people do. Mine goes something like, buy a bunch of houses in several different places - in the countryside north of SF, in Olympia WA, in Scotland, maybe some other places. Stock them with the necessities of life: friends, food, cars, etc. and then travel between them, living in them as the whim ( Read more... ) -
In which I vacillate
Sometimes I feel like the most spoiled of the privileged kids, trying to figure my life out, talking about how I can't figure out which of my nearly infinitely available options I want. But then I remember again and again and again that I only have infinite options because I have deliberately chosen to see the world that way, and I could just as ( Read more... ) -
Let's revisit some past lessons, shall we
This is an old post. By which I mean, the creation date on the file is 2009, from when I was working on quitting my job to go freelance, but I never actually posted it. It's pretty relevant to, oh, everything I do, though, especially when I am trying to figure out my life, which I apparently I don't ever actually stop doing. I've edited it for ( Read more... ) -

life etc.
So the room I had hoped I had lined up in Oakland fell through, for reasons that can't be helped or held against anyone. Also, the wheels got stolen off my car. Am thinking maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. So I am running through again why I decided to come back here. In a lot of ways it's just the path of least resistance, but I ( Read more... ) -

lj appears to have unfriended several people I *know* I was friends with. Will attempt to put this to rights shortly, but in the meantime most my posts are public anyway and it's not like people post much anymore -
Bristol, Avebury, and Cheddar
So these are from longer ago - end of June I took a trip out to Bristol to hang with inulro and, um, not sure Jason has an LJ. They met me at the train station and after a tasty lunch we headed out to Avebury. Being literally the day after the summer solstice, it was slightly infested with solstice celebrants. I kind of adored the lady in the satin red ( Read more... ) -
'round the house
So most of my time here, I've been hanging out in this small town called Barwell, with edwards and aprudentlady and their two cats, Aura and Luna. The house used to be an inn/pub and is, like many buildings around here, older than my country (some of it is 400 years old, the rest Edwardian/Victorian.) It is a big place. Took me nearly two weeks before I could find ( Read more... ) -
I get around
This past weekend I went to London and took absolutely no photos. Saturday was a Fitocracy meetup - I went to an actual gym for the first time since college. When I get resettled I might have to find a good one and actually start going regularly. I've been working out at home for the past couple years, but there are things I don't have at home, ( Read more... ) -
Postcards from Brighton
Helloooooo LJ! So look, I've been here in balmy England, seeing people and doing things and otherwise living life, but I have been crap with the photos and the updates, because without a working smartphone, where I can just hit 'post to facebook', I've been taking pictures on my camera, and then I have to upload them to the computer, and then I ( Read more... )
