I told my best friend Rob today. I have talked to him in a while and I know its partially my fault for not calling his house. But I finally got a hold of him at work today! I was so excited. We continued our conversation later that night and I told him my plans. Im really going to miss him. I know he's sad that Im going somewhere but I am certain the next few months will be better because of it!
I am really hoping that once he gets everything in place with his life, mainly his job, he will be able to come and visit me more often. Tab too! That would be really cool. And eventually I hope Rob and Tab are able to join us on our adventures and travels.
I honestly just want everyone to be happy. And Rob sincerely deserves happiness. He has put out so much into the world. When his threefold comes back to him I hope he will continue sharing and making other people happy.
And apparently there aren't too many cowboys near Austin which makes me sad. What is desert without cowboys? Thats like ice cream with no bowl! (Analogy has nothing to do with cowboys and deserts, I just want ice cream).

It Starts as Rain and Ends in a Monsoon
Matt is going down to visit her during spring break. The 16th-21st! Im kinda excited. Hopefully all this magick in the air will settle and they will find physical happiness from this as well as the emotional. Matt is giving me her address tomorrow so i can more closely pinpoint where I should be looking to transfer. We still need to find out how much it is to break our lease.
Steve is supposed to be moving around here for a new job he might be getting. Maybe he will take over our apartment. Prolly not.
So ive been thinking about all the friends im going to miss by moving away. There are alot. Im hoping that they will come visit sometime during the 2 years we will be there. I say 2 years as an estimate. There arent enough trees and forests and rivers to keep me there forever.
A moving van will cost 1,300$ plus gas (15 mpg x 1500 miles) at 24 hours drive time, plus 1 day to pack, 1 day to unpack, and 1 night to stop at a hotel....looking at $1,580 (not including hotel) and about 3 days moving/packing. It's going to be fun times.

Purging of the Artifacts is no easy task
So I should probably get rid of 60% of the useless items I own. I am a keeper of useless pointless items that have little sentimental value but I feel they should remain in my possession for eternity. I do this with clothes also. Clothes that have not fit me in 5 years. Im going to purge these items! Ill do it, seriously....
And buy new items to ease the pain of my loss. Like new pillows and bed sheets. I should buy more organizational items such as cabinets and containers. I need a better vacuum too. Maybe I should keep and eye out at work for a new awesome vacuum. I need a trash can too, mine was destroyed by Bob...
And even though I say Ill do this, but never do. Ill set up an altar and begin meditating more. I need to calm my mind and learn to concentrate more.

"You'll have to talk to Mexicans..."
This is the plan. Matt goes down to visit during spring break(She is a teacher!) to visit, make sure things are the way they seem and Mark and I will visit(with Matt) during the summer vacation. Mark and I will also do alittle apartment hunting while down there to get an idea of where we want to move in and how close we decide to move to her.
Did you know that we pay $962 for our 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment? (It's in a nice neighborhood and that's after Matt's student discount). But it's eh. Did you know the average 2 bedroom where we're looking is $700-800? That's awesome. Then again their jobs also pay less. Apparently Im looking at a pay cut when I transfer to another Best Buy. But in other news, Matt might be getting a job with Geek Squad! Then he can start paying for me when we go out to eat!
And I'm learning spanish! Figured I might get more money at a job. Yeah. Armando at work is helping me too! I was all "Como se dice Excuse me?" Permiso. Like permission! Im a genius I swear. And I knew Video Juegos. But now I know "Video Systema" (pronounced cee-stem-a). I just gotta get Rosetta Stone working play My Spanish Coach on my psp/ds. I wanna start speaking to my customers in my poor broken spanish but I dont want them to start conversing normally to me and me look like a complete idiot.
Mark reminded, "But you''ll have to talk to Mexicans"............

This is the story of a Guy and a Girl
This it where it starts, a little bit of back history. My Fiance Mark and his best friend, our roommate Matt, went to High School together where they met a teacher who happened to like anime. So she started an anime club. Now Matt and Mark had already been to Otakon before but this teacher WORKED there. Thus began their working at Otakon. This teacher soon had a boyfriend. Eventually the teacher moves down to Austin, Texas. So fast forward about 4 years, Mark and I meet. 3 years later, she is single. And apparently since she had always been unavailable Matt had never once thought of the idea of them as a couple. I thought of them making an interesting couple but dismissed the idea do to her being unavailable and him not showing more than a friend interest. So apparently theyve been talking ALOT. So Im sooo excited!
So basically long distance relationships suck and we all kinda want to get out of Maryland.
Ergo, we move. Anywhere. We are planning a trip to visit this teacher hopefully during spring break. Hopefully Matt and her will hit it off and we'll move to Austin, Texas! If not, We are moving somewhere, yay!

If you didnt know from the Start, this is for you.
So this is the Blog I told myself I would make to document my travels. Hopefully this is the beginning of a grand Adventure! First a Letter to everyone:
Hey Friends,
Most likely I didn't tell you anything about my plans to move. Sorry, kinda. It was sudden and well planned. I didnt want to tell anyone but as you all know I can't keep my mouth shut about exciting adventures. But I'm doing my best. I just chose not to tell everyone. Basically I want to get away and start new. There isn't a reason why I didn't tell certain people. You're not allowed to be mad at me and if you are it's unfortunately your loss. But none the less I love you all! And I'm going to monitor the progress of this spontaneous uprootment. Yep, that's it.
