Two years ago today, it was 2007. I had spent the weekend in Maryland. I flew home, then got on the train, and ended up at Porter Square station. If I dig through my e-mail, I can guess the time to be somewhere between ten thirty and eleven at night.

Porter Square has a lot of escalators. I was exhausted, and worn out, and just wanted to leave the station and walk back to my dorm.

And so I left the station. And stepped into a Cambridge dusted with snow, one that muted the sound of cars on Mass Ave, and swallowed people away, since no one would want to be out on a night like this. And so, when I left the station, I was essentially alone, standing there in a world becoming increasingly covered with snow.

And for just a short moment, my heart sang out.

Home.

MOOP!

So, Arisia was pretty awesome. I was at a bit of a weird place hormonally (Anyone want to trade?) but the incredible emotional high of spending a weekend with a lot of people I really quite like totally made up for it and gave me a wonderful rush of homeness.

"Steampunk is easy. All you need is goggles and a top hat." "Yeah, if you WANT to look like a poseur."

(Sorry. Am having conversation while updating. I am scum like that.)

Annndyes.

So.

Here's the awesome(?) news. The fun of Arisia last year was that the monday of it was the day I could move back into my dorm. So, like a sensible person, I assumed that the monday of this years Arisia was the day I could move back in.

Classes start on the 26th. Dorm opens on the 25th. I have a week in Boston to screw around!

So, yeah. I'm going to enjoy being able to spend time in my city as it's meant to be, what with the good and glorious SNOW everywhere to play in. (I suspect I'll be sick of it as soon as I have to walk anywhere ever, but in the meantime, ohmygod, SNOWWWW!)

My shoulder is being read over, which is always slightly disconcerting not because I mind the words being read, but because it always tends to make me self-conscious when I am watched in any way, and doubly so for what I lamely consider my art. 'Specially because I tend to have just abysmal grammar.

Annnnd I'm going to finish packing now. Byeeee.

MOOP!

It's strange. I find that, less than two hours before I need to get to the airport to catch my flight Home...I don't really want to leave home.

For all I hate Columbia, and all I love Boston, there are people here who I love dearly, and who I never get to see. The internet connection is reliable, the tv watching is good, and I get to drive on occasion.

But most of all...my family is here. And I love them.

I've always had an uncommonly good relationship with each of the members of my family, so the idea of leaving them...well...it's a little tough. Boston's great and all, but there's no mom to take care of, no Aly to harass, no Nik to play games with.

This hasn't really happened before. Maybe it's the fact that I didn't get to say goodbye to Veronica, maybe it's that I spent all yesterday morning with one of the people down here that I count as a Friend¹, maybe it's that my period's about to start and so I'm just past crying without any reason, maybe it's that, after this semester, I'll have equal amounts of college in front of and behind me.

In a year, I will be closer to graduating college than high school.

I'm getting older, and I've always known that Columbia is not going to be where I let myself stagnate. DC, Bal'more, anywhere around here just isn't going to cut it either. I want Camberville, and baring that, I want somewhere around there, where I can spend the rest of my life in a place that I love.

I think I've just learned that sometimes, having the people I love matters too.

~Sor
MOOP!

1: Chris, of course. I don't really know that I have all that many Friends. For the sakes of non-drama, I'm not going to try and list them, except perhaps in my head. It doesn't matter, really, I can't much make the distinction. I have friends who I would tell anything to, and Friends who I don't talk to near often enough.

Some thoughts:

*Working on a big resolutions from last year and for this year and lots of trustbabble post

*Phones and the way I use them is on my mind right now

*So, whenever I was last trawling the Comics Curmudgeon hardcore, which I think was back during the summer (possibly even *early* summer) I started reading this blog that got linked in there at some point. Today, I learned that the author is the dad of one of my friends from high school. Um...yeah. The world is small sometimes.

*I'm gonna start a commune

*I kinda want to do a "best of 2008" posts thing

*OHSHIT! My secret livejournal project that I was going to work on for 2009! I'll post that in a minute.

*Still need to figure out how I'm getting to and sleeping at the Dance Flurry in February

*Dancing is cool. I like what Larry said about being a historical dance group that doesn't particularly like historical music. This has led me to begin¹ finding songs in my collection of generally modern stuff that are danceable. Most recent additions are a handful of Who Killed Amanda Palmer songs --"Runs in the Family" and "Ampersand" are waltzs (though the former is far too fast to actually dance to), "I Google You" is a blues, and "Guitar Hero" is a really good one-step.

*I like that spellcheck thinks danceable is a word.

*I should be entertaining to Swing somehow, but my brain is a little bit out of social, which is why I've been playing on the internet for some time anyways.

*My nails are longer right now then they've been just about ever. On the one hand, that makes 'em really good for scritching people. (From the New Year's Party-- "Kat, I love my wife, but you've made me realize her one big flaw --she doesn't have nails!") but on the other, I'm going slightly insane having them so long, and am going to bite them all short probably before I even make it back to Boston for Arisia.

And I'm sure there are more things on my mind, but I think I'm out for now. Byeee!

1: Okay, truth is I've been doing this for a year or two. But I had another push of going "oh!" today.

Hey, I'm home!

***

Ow, muscles. Fucking things and the carrying thereof. Ow ow ow.

I maintain that this is the downside of being a biblophile. You are incapable of just bringing one book anywhere, even if you're going on vacation to a library. Rar.

***

I mentioned that I needed some professionalish clothes eventually to mum and she threw these beautifully eighties clothing things at me called "Units". They are *hella* comfy. Also, *HELLA* eighties.

***

My bed is far too low to be at all reasonable. I can't even touch the ceiling when I'm standing on it. Apparently, this is what college does to you, make your furniture change shape.

***

Off shopping and the like. Yay, I have a mommy. <3

~Sor
MOOP!

Went home this weekend on a blitz visit. Veronica's face when she saw me made every penny of the trip worth it.

***

Saw the high school play. They are good kids, and good actors. Much applause, and it was nice to see everyone.

***

I am completely ruined for Rocky Horror. I'm sorry, but once you've seen Dr. Scott played by a dalek, your RHPS career is complete, because nothing can ever top that. Ever. FSM bless the Satanic Mechanics.

***

Sunday kinda sucked, which is sad.

***

Cambridge is a killer beautiful city, and home.

***

Yay week of going crazy with projects, then. :P SO MANY THINGS TO DO ARG!

***

I haven't been eating enough. My total intake on Sunday was three or four cheetos, half a snacksized bag of potato chips, the tiny bag of pretzels from the plain, and half of one of those mini boxes of Frosted Flakes. I got a cup of cocoa though, so that was nice. Today I will hopefully eat more, though my skipping of breakfast (bad Kat, BAD!) is not making that look hopeful.

***

Vera is functioning, I miss people, more posts to come later.

Catch you Kats, kittens, kids, stg's, dragons, ferrets, wulfs, orcs, ksatyrs, etc, etc, etc later.

I got more prezzies!! The box accidentally got buried with all of mom's "Things to be mailed"

Speaker got me two new TMBG albums!! I now have "NO!" and "Lincoln"!! Yay for that.

In other news, I'm quite sick, though feeling much better then this morning (I can actually walk from one place to another without feeling the intense need to make friends with the floor, and I feel slightly less nauseous then this morning.)

So yeah. I'm taking a day off from school, which ohmanSUCKS!! However, seeing as I feel like a military acadamy at the moment, and my throat would like some sort of notpain PLEASE, I think it may be a valid decision.

Also, ways not to wake up in the morning number three: From fever dreams involving chimneys and cats, and bad plays in big theatres.

MOOP!

OHYES! Also, if you were at New Years and I got you sick, I'm very sorry. I really didn't mean to get anyone (including myself) sick, but between mum being sick this past week and kissing...everyone, it was a bit inevitable. :(

Current Mood: sick
Current Location: Hopefully not Strepy.
Current Music: There are people here!

( Random quiz-question-thing...I'm bored, and flirting can only take up so much of my time )

Woo.

My life hasn't been very eventful lately. But hey, tomorrows a half day! And Friday's off, and me and Aly are going to (hopefully) harass Flinx!

I need to clean out my 1KBWC deck...

MOOP!

Current Mood: cheerful
Current Music: Back on a Mission, Cirrus.

It's kind of an odd thing to think about non-sluggites winding up on sluggy.net. (By which I mean not people who aren't fans of the comic, but people who I knew in real life first) I've had a couple, Fish and mom both have accounts but neither of them are on much, but eventually there will be more.

A very specific more actually, being my dear siblings. I love Nik and Aly with all my heart, if they so much as THINK about getting a username and logging onto sluggy.net I will cheerfully wring their little necks. This actually applys to a lot of people, S.n is pretty much the one place where I can-if I need to-dump my entire heart out to a whole heaping lot of strangers, some of who may have advice for me. I'd rather prefer that I can continue to talk about ANYTHING (or anyone) since no one who actually knows me is going to be hanging around me.

I dunno. It's just...confusing to find people I know have been poking around. there.

Not to say that I don't want people to not read Sluggy, EVERYONE should read Sluggy. Just stay off S.n, it was the first place I ever found online that felt like a real home to me.

Weren't you planning on cleaning your room? And what about me? Can I go chill there?

No Gabe, no one who lives in my head and sees all my thoughts can go to my heartdump. Of course you can you loser. And I am cleaning my room. Woo-woo, just look at me clean.

It's all your fault I got distracted in the first place. Damm pseudoangels.

Glad to have been of service. So, are you going to fix up K_T anytime soon?

Eventually. Right, cleaning.
