I kept my whole life in a suitcase, never really stayed in one place...

So, for those of you who missed seeing it on [livejournal.com profile] starletfallen's journal, we'll be moving to Ithaca, NY around the beginning of October. I am partly absolutely thrilled about this, because OMG East Coast and New York, I missed you, and even if it's not my city, it's close enough for visits and there is a [livejournal.com profile] jaeled there and hey, another road trip when I've been getting wanderlust like crazy lately...

On the other hand, I'm more than a little heartbroken. I don't want to leave Jaqui, I just... Arizona is not the place I need to be, and I don't believe in staying for a person, even someone I love so fucking much.

...also, this means I'll be travelling on my birthday. I don't know if this is a good thing or terrifying. For those who don't know, I have a birthday curse second only to Buffy's. I've never had demon arms inna box or anything, but I do tend to end up in broken down cars a hundred miles from home. So. Heh. Um.

Then again, this road trip probably won't take as long as the last one, without so many long stopovers and snowstorms and concussions, so... Maybe we'll already be there by my birthday.

I keep wavering between bouncing ecstatically and wanting to burst into tears, so I think I'm just gonna drink my coffee, nest in the Doctor's playlist, finish voting for [livejournal.com profile] writerinadrawer and... yeah. This happydepressed mood is confusing as hell, and I have no idea what to do with it.

Oh, wait, seriously? That's where I'm hopefully going to college next year. You'll love it.

Yes! It seems lovely - [livejournal.com profile] jaeled's been throwing pictures of waterfalls at me. XD And for all that I'm very much a big city person... Ithaca seems like the kind of not-big city I could deal with living in.

...don't mind the fic journal, I'm too lazy to log out.

It's beautiful, yeah. It's just this small little hippie down- and if you end up by collegtown, in Cornell, it's kind of like a mini-city? Ish. It reminds me of parts of the village.

Don't mind me, I'm slightly in love with it there. And if you stay put for a year I'll come see you, hm.

This time, I'm pretty sure we'll be staying in one place for a while. XD I'm sure we can arrange something.

That's an exciting place to move, though! I'm excited for you guys, anyway. ^^ And maybe your body won't hate you as much. D: *pets*

You'll be closer so maybe I may drive to visit one day!

Yes! For all that it's colder up there, I was a lot healthier when I was living in New York. It's the heat that kills me, really, so I'm hopeful!

And yes! Sey visits are always awesome!

Aww, yeah, I'm hoping it'll be easier. The cold also kills allergens and things like that, so yes.

And yaaay. That's always fun. ^^

( I like your icon, btw! )

This isn't going to be "EPIC VISITING PEOPLE" road trip, since we're not going to be anywhere near most people, so we SHOULD be getting there about a week before your birthday, with a stop in Ohio to see Tracey and Ai.

:) Just so you know

YES YOU ARE.

(I'm sorry. I'm just thrilled by the idea of getting to meet friends without my massively awkward parents. I mean, you'll probably end up having to meet my awkwardish school parents, and my biological brother will be there along with my various school siblings but... yes, I just like to ramble about my family. Here. Sorry. Have your internet back again. :|)

Aw, I'm sorry you'll be leaving someone you love but also YAY NEW YORK! And yay for it potentially calming down your health issues. I'm sad for you and happy for you. ♥

I KNOW. Argh. Really excited, just... flaily about it too. It's terribly confusing.

I can imagine. :\ *big hugs*
