what i've been up to
Jul. 25th, 2008 12:25 amJust to mention it again - I haven't been reading LJ since December. I intend to come back at some point, but I have just been wanting to wrap myself in a cocoon of silence for a while. I think it's been good for me. But seriously, if you've had major life changes like births or deaths or gettings-together or breakings-up... let me know. I want to keep in touch, but I'm hiding out a little.
On the other hand, I've been using Twitter rather a lot. I know some of you don't get it or don't like it, but I really enjoy it. You can find me there with the same username as here. If you want to get a better idea of what I'm up to, Twitter is the place to find me at the moment.

metaphorge and I are moving. We've found a place in Oakland, near Fruitvale BART. It's a 3br/1ba house with a big empty back yard that we can do whatever we want in. It's near to the ghetto but not in it, and there's a cute park across the street. Our landlords seem like great people. We get the keys on Saturday and officially do our moving on Monday.
Packing has been ... difficult. Between having to go to work all day, and the overwhelming emotions of dismantling seven years of home & five years of marriage, I've had a hard time doing my share. Plus, I'm a natural procrastinator.metaphorge has been working his ass off to do his part, and help me stay on track, and I'm very grateful for it. I've finally really gotten on a roll, and I think having the chance to run a few carloads of stuff to the new place over the weekend before the movers come will really do a world of good.
I'm excited about having a new place to decorate. I'm someone who likes to daydream about furniture and setting even in times of stability, so it's exciting to go somewhere else that I can turn into an entirely different vision of home. I have grown so much since I first decorated this house. My new room will be a reflection of a different version of me.

Moving and money stress make me want to hide, and sometimes hiding means ridiculous projects. We came up with a great idea at KallistiCon, and have been refining it over IM and IRC over the last few weeks. It's set to go in a few weeks, and we're gathering participants now.

I'm expecting this to be a lot of fun. We'll publish a book of the letters at the end. Join up?
