"Coming Back When I've Finally Moved On..."

Foo. Successful day at the library (got out a pile of artbooks, one of New Yorker cartoons, Anthony and Cleopatra in larger print so that I won't die trying to read it, more for my children's lit project, and some things just for fun), and all generally good. I think we will be watching Rumpole of the Bailey to-night. :D

It looks like the move is definite. Waen and Mum both agree that we can't live here once the housing development starts building up--we're pretty much the teeny little ten acre plot of land surrounded on one side by the town, on one side by the highway, and on two sides by rolling farmland, which has just been sold for development. They're already marking out the lots.

So yes. This would have sent me into hysterics even a few months ago, but I'm surprisingly calm about it now. I'd like having new land to explore, I think. I'd love having a new house to explore. I want to find it and make it mine. <3 I don't mind. Just as long as we don't move out of state, that's all. Daddy was thinking of having us go down to Tennessee, but I--I can't say it's out of the question, since of course it's not really my house, but I'd rather not, frankly. So we're looking for Pennsylvania countryland, which shouldn't be too hard. Maybe we'll move to Big Valley.

I don't mind. Every exit is an entry somewhere, just like it says on my Stoppard bookmark.

*snuggles* Keep me updated on the house situation, eh? Because it'd be nice if you were moving closer to me somehow; I'd love to see you sometime, and maybe this will make it easier. ^__^; *selfish* (And I'm so glad that you can be content about this, I'm glad you're not having hysterics, because this is really a lot of growth for you. ♥ )

Also, Antony and Cleopatra makes me eyespork. A LOT. x___x

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I will, although I think a move to Big Valley or a similar place would just being going sideways from where we are now. But I definitely want to see you no matter where we're living. ^__^ (Me too. I remember when the topic was first introduced a while ago, and I just cried and cried. Now I'm a little excited.)

Yes, well, I want to eyespork in larger print. The small print makes me fall asleep.

Sideways is good, though! Because you seem to live at a lovely climate, and that way at least you shall be at the same latitude as before. ^___^

The play itself makes me fall asleep. Even pirates don't make it better (even if they are the best part).

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, and that would be awfully nice. ^_^

Yes, well, we'll see. :P

*loves you*

[identity profile] mhari.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
*snoozles* AIM me? I must BOUNCE.

One Soujin, coming up.

*loves on* Try not to go too far away!

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Shan't ever go to far away to see you. ♥

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Big Valley is a bit more towards me, isn't it? And towards State College, which may or may not be relevant in a few months.

;_______; This exit had better not be an entry to very far away, especially because I gave you that bookmark.

(I may only have six icons, but I still have an appropriate one. Huzzah.)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
It is, I think, although I really don't know. You know, State College is close enough that I might be able to drive up on weekends sometimes.

It won't, for I shan't let it be. I do have a little say in where we go.

(Well, I know what you're getting for Chirstmas...!)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really up on my Pennsyltucky Central PA geography, so I might just be making that up. XD I know. I guess we'll see if they like me.

That's good...!

(An appropriate icon? :D)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Me either. XD We'll have to check a map, although I don't know whether my constitution will stand it. They'd better.

Isn't it? I think so. XD

(:D :D :D :D)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well! I haven't seemed to pick a side of the state, so either way. We'll see.

I certainly agree. But you knew that.

(You needn't, silly thing.)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I noticed, Miss LIVES IN BOTH THE CITIES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STATE CAPITOL. So we will.

I did, at that. ^__^

(It's Christmas, silly thing.)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well, one of them was the CAPITAL OF THE UNITED STATES. Maybe the state just wasn't big enough. XD

Smart thing!

(That is no excuse.)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
WELL, IT'S JUST AWFULLY PRETENTIOUS, ISN'T IT? Are you saying Philadelphia should be in Texas?

Thank you, thank you.

(Is good enough for me.)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
YES, IT IS. No, but I'm saying that if it were, it'd sure be the capital of Texas, baby.



(Well, not for me...!)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'VE NOTICED. ...XD It so would.

♥!

(Too bad!)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
THAT MEANS WE'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. ...Of course it would :D

♥!

(;______; Meanie.)

Oh! I deposited your check today. I had to talk the teller into accepting it, though.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
CLEARLY. It's Philadelphia, after all.

(I AM. >:D)

Because I fail at dates?

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
:D! Home.

(I KNOW. ;_____;)

Indeed.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
FOUL FETID FUMING FOGGY FILTHY PHILADELPHIA--!

(*cackles*)

I've stopped doing that, at least on checks. I should have written you a new one with a shiny correct date or something.

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm, I know. Isn't it wonderful?

(*sadfaces. liek Hamlet*)

Well, she took it! So there was no need.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-26 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Bleeeeeeeoarg. XD

(*...wibbles. like Rosencrantz*)

Good--!

[identity profile] canadabear.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
*comments shyly*

This is a wonderful attitude to have! If only I had been so sensible at your age.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
*pounces!* Sensible is that last thing I'd call me. ^^ I'm just getting, I pray, a little more open to change.

[identity profile] canadabear.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Which is also a lovely thing to be. Even though I totally hate and resist change at all costs and I should know better!

:D

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
It took quite a long time, believe me.
