Sep. 3rd, 2008 11:02 pmI talked to Maggie on Skype yesterday. It was surreal to see her and talk to her through Merpet, but it made me so happy. She was home sick. I gave her a tour of my room, and she met Paul and Anya, too. Weird. Cool, awesome, but weird.
White Bear has left San Francisco for the first time in many years, and made the long and thrilling journey to Sarasota. He is here to support me and provide wise counsel through my last year as an undergraduate. Gasp.
I have many mixed feelings. I dislike being away during such a key point in Maggie's life. I want to help her move into the dorms at UCSC. I want to be in Virginia to watch the puppies grow. I want Sheets to know my smell. But I've finally found my place in this community at NCF. I'm happy. Not that it's perfect, by a long shot, but it's good. The people around me are wonderful and I feel as if I've discovered the only to be leaving.
