Huh? What? I know….

A brief update:
I found out last week that I wasn’t just taking a weird leap into the void of the country side. I got affirmed for a full time probationary position with Distance Learning a la B-town. The boy and I have also been obscenely busy moving stuff from E-town to W-town, which is a mere 25 minutes or so from B-town. A bit of a commute, but I don’t mind that, even in the Boy’s stupid SUV that I hate (he hates my truck, we’re even steven on that one).
We also, after about a month and a half of frantic searching, found a really nice (spontaneously on the same day I got the job offer) duplex in W-town. We thought we were going to have to move to B-town, because that seemed to be the only place where there were vacancies of any kind, but it spontaneously came up on everyone’s favorite local radio trading post, managed by the Boy.
On the same day, lest we get carried away with our two victories, my truck also decided to spray antifreeze all over 101st Avenue, which was a little costly, but nothing major (so I think, although there have been vigorous discussions about it). I then had the dubious honor of spending the night at the Boy’s parent’s place by myself, like it was the only other alternative on the planet. Damn.
This is never a good idea, but it managed to be relatively pain-free. But awkward. His parents are the apples to my oranges, the kiwi to my cactus, the cold to my hot….I’m running out of opposing ideas. They’re fucking space aliens, to be blunt. The boy has his moments of obtuseness, but he is at least capable of abstract or critical thought.
Anyways, I really am missing my friends a lot. Things are going to start settling down relatively quickly for a brief lull before we move into the new place. I will also be back and forth to the city quite frequently, or whenever I have the whim, or it is required of me. And I’m definitely not opposed to driving one hour to hang oot, so don’t just forget about me you hosers, noooo. As an additional bonus, phoning E-town from W-town is NOT long distance, I should add. And vice-versa, I think.
That’s all for now, but I will keep this thing regular if I continue to be somewhat out of the loop.
