As someone who has moved around a bit and who is going to be moving around a bit more...I can't think of any words of wisdom. I really can't. Not that you need wisdom except:

I hope you're eating more than white rice, young man. You need nutrients and fibre otherwise you may get some horrible sounding disease like congenital rickets.

That Old Navy ad is the only thing I like on TV.

I would put Donald Sutherland on the Toonie and Kiefer on the Loonie and then keep them in a special bulletproof plexi glass case lined with blue velvet.

Heh, everything's fine, mademoiselle..I'm taking my one-a-day vitamin! It has lycopene in it, even. And I must admit I've been eating broccoli, occasionally. It tastes like burning.

The Sutherland plan of yours does make sense. To keep with your guys' current theme, there is a hierarchy there..of quality entertainment.

Your entries never strike me as being any of the things you insist they are, but then again I'm always apologizing for mine in advance, too.

My advice: watch all of the Rocky movies, especially the first one. And even Fabio wrote a book! Several of them in fact. They look quite scandalous and inspiring. People, they can do anything, it's amazing. I am totally writing you a letter, and soon! I just think I've temporarily forgotten how to write muscularly.

Nothing about Canadian Personal Assistants or Alabama this time!

yay, a letter! recycling September 9 2004, 09:32:17 UTC
It's almost as though the people who know me the best soon begin to secondguess me, which is cool, just as long as it doesn't transcend itself into out-and-out doubt. That's when I bare my teeth and go in for the kill.

You know what though? I saw the Rocky movies shortly before I left Missouri..I think they were all on AMC or some channel like that. And if Fabio can write a book..well, I've been talking with some people about publishing a book, and I think they're going to hook me up. I think.

What about Alabama Personal Assistants (APAs)?

Re: yay, a letter! faster_pussycat September 9 2004, 11:12:09 UTC
Yes, with goofy paper and everything.

I saw them on A&E on Labor Day, they so rocked my world...I wrote an entire entry about them, but that isn't saying much.

You want an Alabama Personal Assistant? Do you have any Alabama hotties on your list you could sycophant your way over?

That's awesome...good luck with the book, and be sure to do it more for you than anything, you know?

We/but especially I miss you!!!1one2!!!

Damn! I miss you too especially, you were my main source of entertainment in the months before I left town, did you know that? I really didn't hang out with anybody IRL, and I really appreciated you filling in the blanks. You did them incredibly well.

Actually, I don't think I do know anyone in Alabama. I got in a fight with an LJer from Alabama once, but that's ancient history, really. But even if I did..I'm wary when it comes to Southerners now. I dig the accent and all, but their incomprehensible contempt for me is really kind of more so than any other region in America. A Southern assistant would only fuck and run.

It sounds like this move is going to force you to grow in a lot of truly profound ways...good lord willing and the creeks don't rise, you will probably be reading a similar post from me in about a year or so.

Not sure how similar our experiences are going to be, but I anticipate the same kind of fish out of water story. I figure it should be a pretty exciting experience.

Good to hear from you again...the place isn't quite the same without you.

So are you saying that after this school year, you're going to move permanently to Pennsylvania (good lord willing and the creeks don't rise)? I have to tell you, I hope from here to Heaven that it works out. It's a tricky business, going somewhere and having only a girl and maybe the girl's friends to rely on. There's a fine line to walk down, as you will (probably/hopefully) see..but I think you're made of the kind of strong stuff that can handle it.

I keep hearing that this place isn't quite the same without me..which is quite flattering, but..I'm having trouble believing that. :)

I think that's basically the gist of it. I've been hankering to escape this town for more years than I can remember, but making excuses left and right. I also shudder to think about the place I leave behind...if I stay here, I could very possibly be superintendent of this school one day, and I love the kids now more than ever. But that's about it. I also started playing in a band that looks like it's going to get some work, and I finally have some sort of a social life again. But I can't think of a better set of circumstances. I leave the town as a conqueror ( ... )

Damn..100+ now? You've been doing some networking, son! :)

I miss AD too, and am thinking about posting to it maybe sometime this month, just to give it another round, just for the hell of it.

Leaving town as a conqueror? I wish you luck with that, my friend. That's how I wanted to leave too.

Reading this was reassuring for me. I'm contemplating the possibility of a very sudden move to New England, while all the while wondering what the hell is wrong with me: why can't I just settle down and call it a life? What am I searching for?

It's only life, why not just live it?

PS - I go postal every time that Old Navy girl starts her screeching. I'll help you plan the sniping.

Exactly. It's sort of like my father used to say, "In a hundred years, nothing you do is going to matter anyway." Self-defeatest? Koni, certainly..but there's only a slim chance that won't be true. So that said, your gypsy tendencies or your struggles against them can be justified both ways by this: do what you want to do. That's all I can say. That's what I'm doing, anyway.

Consequences be damned!
Old Navy be damned!
