Wooo, check me out, I'm in Portland!

Robert helped me move, for which I am hugely grateful. He came to my parents' house, we loaded everything in the back of his truck (sidenote: I'm pretty proud of moving with only the contents of a single Nissan mini-pickup, though it was actually pretty easy compared to protecting everything from the baggage-handlers), I saddled up on my motor-horse, and we headed on south. (The other story here is that I got my Bike to Portland in the Cold and Dark merit badge. It left me with a surprisingly sore forearm on my throttle side.)

I'm living in the Woodstock neighborhood. My roommate is pretty cool. I'm currently jobless. I'll be back in the South Sound area for the around-Christmas timeframe. I've got a lot of stuff to do, and plenty of time to do it. I have a good feeling about this.

Welcome!

Can I still say that when I live in Phoenix?

[roadrunnertwice]

Probably not, but I appreciate it. When the Residency Police come for you, we will fight them off together.

While I realize there are, you know, priorities, one hopes this is one step on the road towards some more Crow Tree activity? I'm hoping to get a little active there again if I survive tomorrow.

One day, when the world was young and I'd first moved to MPLS and was jobless and couldn't see a week and a half into the future, I went down to Spyhouse with my iBook and wrote 4000 words on The Damn Cheaters Book.

I think that chaos and confusion and upheaval are actually a reasonably hospitable creative environment for me; it's stasis in a situation I hate that results in the Muse being sent to Coventry.

So... yes.

Wow! Congratulations! I'm so excited for you. I'll bet the bike trip in the cold and dark was an adventure all by itself!

Thanks! Yeah, that was kind of wild, but it was funny: at no point did I feel like I was adventuring out of my league. It was like, "No sweat, this is what I do."
