In my travels...
Feb. 3rd, 2002 07:17 pmFinished up the report on Ohayocon, and stuck it on me lil' website. http://www.innernet.net/psipsy42/ohyocon2.html should work. Looks like Katsucon 8 is next on the schedule. I might not even need time off for that. One day I went from work to where Katsucon's going to be, and it was maybe 20 minutes total. That's it. And to think, I used to drive for about 5 hours for that same convention.
Bought a Transformer, because it was there, and I felt like getting one. S'cool. Then I bought some anime. Then I got a video modulator just so I can watch some of my DVDs. Y'know, stuff from Radio Shack works a lot better when you know what it's supposed to do.
There was driving of course, because that's where I do a lot of my thinking. When I move to Baltimore, I might miss the daily drive. Right now it's three hours a day that I'm forced to sit and think by myself, which is actually good for me. It's a bit risky though, especially when it's been a long day and I'm tired enough to fall asleep. It's times like that is when I wished I didn't live so far from work. Or when there's a goodly amount of snow on the ground. But I've survived so far.
Of course, there's work. I'm starting to have an idea of the workings of some of the devices there, and how dangerous some of them are. High voltage, acids, toxic chemicals, and sharp spinning objects. All before a lot of people put on their socks for the day. The fact that I'm still alive after working with that stuff day in and day out is proof that I'm not suicidal, because I could have easily killed myself by now. But it's best not to think about that at length.
So far, it'll be another month or so before I actually move down there. Am I ready? Maybe. Would it be good for me? Maybe. I just want to get rid of some of these bills that are still floating around here, it'll be that much less of a load. But on the whole I think it'll be good for me to leave the nest. Spending the rest of my life living here isn't something to look forward to.
It'll be easier and harder than I ever thought it will be, harder because of the complete lack of organization here. So much stuff for me to go through, deciding what can stay or go or whatever. And yet easier, because it doesn't all have to go at once. What will also help is that there's no one to keep me here. No, it's not abandonment of those that will remain here. If I can stand the daily drive back and forth each day, surely I can handle the same distance to visit friends and family.
It's not like I'm moving to the other side of the world. Just expanding the world I have now.
