Roborant: entry

Howdy all,

It’s been too long. Really. You’ve missed so much! How can I even catch you up?

Most pressing news:

I leave imminently for the Royal City.  It’s seriously time to leave my parents’ house and I couldn’t wait any longer. Ben has been trying to persuade me for a year to move over there with him for the better part of a year, and while I’d been planning on maybe moving out in the New Year, I just realized that there was (almost) nothing keeping me here. I’d rather be in a city where I have friends who can hang out all year long instead of just during the summer, or on Co-op terms. And it’s not like I’m casting away an amazing job with any opportunity for advancement. Sure, paying $350/mp to live with my folks is a good deal as inclusive rents go, but I’m almost 22. My brother had been living on his own for 4 years when he was my age.

So yeah. Aside from Wolfgang being here on Co-op until January (the source of the ‘almost’ above) I haven’t had any reservations about the move. It’s true that I will be leaving behind all the friends I made at my old job (a bunch of really nice old people, but when you see them every day…), and its also true that wings at the Boar’s Head will become a semi-anual occurence instead of a weekly one, but I’m trading all that for new opportunities and new experiences. Frankly, I haven’t had either in my life since last year when I thought I was going to move to Banf.

For his part, Wolfgang has been very supportive. It might not seem like a big deal, but really by leaving now I’m placing him in the same situation I’m desperate to leave. If it weren’t for him I probably wouldn’t have an apartment to move to right now. And he’s also going to do most of the work of moving me into it. He’s also put out a couple of new posts lately in case that’s not news.

However, I’m now going to embark on an experiment in episodic posting. Like I said, lot’s of things have happened since my last mega-post, all of them tiny bloggable tidbits of silliness. So, I’m going to try and get them all typed out one at a time over the next few days.

Wish me luck.
