Okay, so, Minneapolis hasn’t been the greatest for me. So, why am I so hesitant to leave? Is it the gnawing feeling that I could have done better? The feeling that I never really got to know the place, because I was so profoundly wrapped up in my own little internal dramas? Enh, maybe.
Maybe it’s looking back over the past couple years with a critical eye and thinking of the opportunities missed, the time misspent, they ways I could have done everything better. And the urge to fix it where possible.
Reluctance to start over? Who the hell knows.
I just know I’ve been dragging ass on my way out the door. And here I am lounging in the wake of my packing frenzy. Looking at the few items that I didn’t push into a bag or a box, somewhere and feeling a bit of despair because I won’t be able to cram them all into the suitcase space I have.
I think I need to calm down, chill out. It’ll all be okay. I’ll head up to Chicago tomorrow and get there in the afternoon. It’ll be fine.

Perfectly natural fear/apprehension of change. Get your ass out the door 🙂

Oh. And I have no idea who Alan (above) is. *snicker*
One day I’ll be in the same city as you and there will be no escape. You know this, don’t you? 🙂
Change is scary, even when you like the change.
For someone who likes moving, this is different! 😛 Although I do understand, change can be quite hard. I even grew a bit attached to Peoria after 4 years – and it was… well notsonice.

Life is funny that way..
I’ll be in Chicago now and then visiting a friend who staying there for the summer. She’s cool and probably the biggest comic book fiend I know. Maybe we all can grab a beer and be geeky..:)

Thus allowing me to fulfill the promise of a drink. I’d be down for it. =)
leaving any place that has been “home” for a while can be difficult for anyone, really; even if you hate the place.
