Today I woke up breathing easily and had a thought "I haven't been doing a good job of staying touch with people... Why?"

I think I figured out why while I was having the above though. Why? SLC stuff (not work), Home stuff (not 134), rehearsals (heh heh), packing (whoa!), multiple website stuff, etc...

I've felt myself stretch so thin that I've found myself saying just that - ìI feel like I have no time to relax or just sit for a moment to think.î Is it true? If there ever were a truer thing I'd be surprised. I feel so bad about the fact that I haven't contacted so many people because of all of these things happening.

= The happy sad part of this is I'm so very happy living this busy life. Why am I packing? Because I'm taking another step toward the future. What is happening at SLC that is so time consuming? I'm finally on the road to read a Degree in life I've wanted for so long which means no lunch and more reading and studying than I've done since I was an undergrad. Websites? Yup, I was struck with the design, experiment with code bug again (finally). It's been so long since I've been interested in websites that it's great to have the drive again. The odd thing is the timing. = O Rehearsals? Oh yes! Chekhov. I'm doing a Chekhov play! HAHA! That's not all. I'm also reading ìJoeî in a student written play called ìThe Tenderî. Who am I? I'm The Tender. = D

The biggest thing to fill my brain has been quick to take shape... A new place to live for the residents of 134. Both Avenga and I are moving. Avenga has West Coast dreams while I have NY aspirations. While Mari will most likely have a short stay somewhere before she finds and then moves into a place of her own I'll be taking up residence at 21 for a few months before I make my final move to 1101. Phew. That would be described as TOO MUCH moving in a 4 month time frame.

What the hell, why not! It only means, what will be a short wait before I move into a place of my own. A REAL place. None of this renting stuff. The word HUGE can't be written big enough to show how large this is.

The amazing thing is that three months ago all of this became possible and it took a visit from one Rahotep to get me riled up enough to search for a new place to live. Thank you Rahotep for bringing ìScotland Yardî. That amazingly loud game that is usually is! Domo Rahotep-sama. Domo.

And these three months have proved that despite thinking what you know, you never really do know until you talk about it with someone else. Emma. Hmm... = ) I had no idea we'd be stepping on the ground we're stepping on. It's new (daily), it's more than we both thought, and it's going to be holy yimminy when 7/1 comes about at 1101.

To go back to my original thought briefly. Time is short and I apologize to you all for having been so poor in maintaining contact with you all. I sincerely hope to write to you, speak with you, and/or see you all soon. I don't like life getting in the way of friends but at this time in my life I have to give in to the current events taking place in my day to day life. Rock on one and all! Time to hit the frog and toad.

I have no idea if this makes any sense. I just realized I wrote and wasn't thinking as I wrote. Then again, that might mean it makes more sense than if I'd thought through it. Well... You're done reading so you already know if it was or wasn't coherent. Jyane.

It's time for me to count my pennies and then every other kind coin that may show itself! It's time for me to move it on up, to the top... la la la la laaa laaa.

It's come to that time of my life where I'm ACTUALLY shopping for a place to live Vs. a place to rent. No more of this rent stuff. Blah. I'm exceedingly tired of padding someone else's bank account. Done-diggity-done red rover!

Well, not done just yet. Soon though. Soon the number will change from 134 to 21 for a short time while it changes from 134 to ??? for Avenga! Now THAT is going to take'm some guts. Ganbatte Avenga! Goin' back ta Cali. Ta Cali, ta Cali... Sing along in your car.

I have decided, another decision yes, to jump ship too. I'm not going the straight and narrow anymore. Some may say it's been there all along. Is he... ya know? To which most that don't know me, here at SLC, say 'I don't know, is he?'

Yes I am, I'm BI! HA! There I said it... M$ and Apple are both at my finger tips and I LIKE IT! NYAH! Bi-OS baby and that means I need a Mac. Hmm... I think a PowerBook is in order. Yea! YEA! OH AND! AND! YEAAA! A Mac Mini too! What the hell, I'll even run LINUX on it! BOOM BOOM BOOM! Hear that?! HEAR THAT?! It's a three-some OHHHH! M$, OS X, and Linux! OHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ahh. Oki. Time to run around in circles until I fall down. Or I could just go back to my office and then skip off to my audition at 4:50. Hmm, I think I'll do that instead. Damn. That spinning sounded fun though. Grumble, grumble, grumble.

After a LONG night of clean-up my mind decided to pur some thoughts into text. Here are some things in my life that are making me smile... BIG.

1 - The future of 134

Here comes a Wireless LAN, iBook, PowerBook, Emma, California, and more!

2. Taxes. Yes! Taxes.

H&R Block has brought smiles to my face that were VERY much not expected. Ahh, PowerBook w/10.4 here I come

3. A real vacation to the Dominican Republic!

The last time I ventured to someplace warm for a vacation was in Japan when I visited an onsen. This time I won't need to step into hot water to be warm. I'll be stepping into warm/cool water to cool off!

Volleyball, frisbee, etc. Heheheheh!

and

4. Germany '06!

I've been planning this since the last World Cup. Who could have predicted I would visit Germany AND Scotland. It just keeps getting better and better and better.
