So here's the seriousness I hinted at yesterday, but substituted a joke about skiltaire bungholes for instead.

Ashy's moving out.

This means I'm moving out, too; I'd been failing to keep up my half of the rent (and this is part of why she's moving out) for much of this year, and there's no way I can do it by myself right now. Maybe if a union-rate Flash job dropped in my lap, but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't know where, yet. I need to ask a few people who might be willing to have me for a while, in LA and elsewhere, and see what the options are.

Elsewhere? Yeah. Ashy's moving back to the Bay Area. San Francisco, Silicon Valley, all that. A lot of my online friends and acquaintances are up there, enough to make life interesting. Just the night before [livejournal.com profile] kattything was making me drool with some talk in IM about how casually freak-friendly and compact SF is. And a little earlier I was thinking that it's weird that I live in LA but have this cluster of people I know well, and almost never see, up there. And that it's supposedly a lot more freak-friendly than LA. Ashy was suggesting that I might do well to move up there myself, though not necessarily to live with her again.

I'd let myself see how tired I am of LA when there was a possibility of going to Canada for some Spümcø stuff, and I had to kinda put that away when that fell through. It's often fashionable to hate LA, but I don't think I ever have - it's just boring and ugly and not-green, and rather tedious to get around without a car. The only reason I ever came here was my "career", which I put in quotes for a reason. And what's a little more change at this point?

I'll miss her.
