having a moment

So folks, you may or not know that I'm leaving for the east coast later this year or early next. This is a huge thing for me, as pretty much all of my life (Ok, since past age 5), I've lived within a 3-hour driving radius of here.

I'm sorting through my stuff and getting rid of most of it. It's really emotional process...I can associate piles of sentimentality with actual stuff. The other big thing is that I realize that I'm basically in love with everyone here. OK, not like that. But I'm pretty much in love with the entirety of my political community, and it's really hard to imagine not being here. Thinking of how many people have changed my life, helped me along, and made me who I am, it makes me all snuffly and stuff.

I'm also pretty excited, because it is time to go and spend a bit of time elsewhere. Elly left earlier this week, and she's trying to find a place.

But sheesh. It's good that I'll be back in two years, cuz this is a hard place to stay away from.
