It’s taking awhile longer to move to SF than I would’ve liked, but I am getting there. Still in Chicago at the moment but the stars have been very much in my favor; I have a PLACE out there now and a lease and a move-in date, yayyy! Not in the city proper but over in the East Bay… that was mainly a budgetary choice, similar to one I made when I moved to Brooklyn instead of Manhattan. Anyway… so I now have less than one month to get my ass and all my possessions out there. EEEEKKK!!! I’m kind of in a panic, but it’s a good combination of scared and excited. Excited because I really do love that place, and for that and other reasons I really can’t think of anyplace else I want to live right now. But it’s a little scary because of course I can’t be entirely sure I’ll find my niche and adapt well to living there… and naturally the move is pretty nerve-wracking in and of itself. But it’s cool, I know the drill. I keep doing this over and over — San Antonio -> Austin -> Guadalajara -> Austin -> San Antonio -> Austin -> Brooklyn -> Chicago. It doesn’t freak me out too much. I do feel like I’m getting too old for this shit, but I was probably saying that when I was 12 years old. ;-) And now I’m getting really bad deja vu that I’m just rehashing shit I’ve already said here before, so I’ll stop the bitching. ;-)
