I'll be seeing you. ;-)

Life's been interesting lately. Even more than usual, this seems to be a season of making your own reality. Writing a new future. I'm not sure if that applies just to me and those close to me, or more generally, but I for one am celebrating the season.

And today, I'm celebrating more than just the season. I'm celebrating the purchase of a new car. It's a 2001 Ford Focus SE. A "station wagon" though it looks a bit better than the station wagons of yore. I really like it, it's roomy and comfortable and has a ton of cargo space. I've even named it already. "Makia", the hawaiian word for "focus" and one of the seven Huna principles. It's a break from my previous practice of naming cars after people from Alorya, but like I've been saying this is a season of blank slates and new beginnings. And this name feels right to me.

I'm going to have a lot more free time now. I don't have to get up at 5:30am anymore to get to work at 8am. I can even start work up to a half hour later, since I don't have to metro to class anymore, and can stay at work until 5pm now. With the extra rest, extra time, and the obviously increased mobility, I'll be able to get a lot more done. I'll also be seeing people more, hence the title of the post. Especially once I graduate from school in a few weeks. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with everyone again, and even making it back to Open Study on a regular basis. I've missed folks lately.

Anyway, I'm pretty tired. It's been a long (but overall amazingly good) weekend, and I think I just need some rest and relaxation after all the excitement today. I'm gonna head for bed in a few. Goodnight everyone, and sweet dreams.

[lyssabard.livejournal.com]

Good. We will get to see you more, then. :)

[jarandhel.livejournal.com]

Most definitely. :) You and tlttlotd are fairly high up on my list of folks to drop in on more often and/or invite over to my place. :)

:D Glad to know we'll be seeing more of you (and for now, get some rest :3).

Hehehe, well I don't know if I'll be driving down to Kentucky anytime soon, but I should have a bit more time to be online in the evenings at any rate. :)

woot! Congratulations! Thats a nice car, they're very popular over here. And, a perfect name for it. :)

[jarandhel.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) By the way, I sent you guys an email a while back while you were apparently having internet issues, don't know if you ever got it but I never heard back from you. Did you get it?

Congrats!

See you at the gather?

Re: Congrats!

[jarandhel.livejournal.com]

... which one? WtT? CtT? Something that's gone under my radar?

... and I check your journal and see exactly what you're talking about... December gather. Not sure yet, I'm about to graduate from my school, and hopefully get a new job around that time too. Depending on my schedule, I may be able to make it up there, but I really can't say for sure yet. I'll try to let you know as soon as I can.

Yay! I'm glad we'll be seeing more of you and that you can get around more easily.

Many congratulations! I definitely agree it's a season for change. In fact, in a few weeks I'll be a lot more local.;)
