Why California?

Issues that we're going to run into:

Cost of living.
Depending on the neighborhood, crime rate.
Overlegislation?
Depending, school system.

Good things:

Depending, school system.
My relatives.
Our friends.

Unknowable things:

Whatever the hell reason it is that we seem to be in the process of being Called.

At least you've got a sense of *where*. All we know is that we're being Called somewhere *else*. No further data forthcoming yet. *growl*

But we don't know where California yet. California's a big state, and I have a feeling on this that the precise where is going to matter.

Heck, we don't even yet know if our perceptions on this are correct or not...

Me, too. =/ Which totally sucks; I've lived here for pretty much my entire life, barring college, when I was still here about as much as I was at my apartment. But for a while now, I've been wanting to go elsewhere. I feel really restless, and vaguely ill-at-ease, the way I usually do when I'm at someone else's house. Thus all my recent comments about moving to Canada or New Zealand. *wry grin* You know, it'd be a lot easier to get me where I'm supposed to be if they'd just tell me where the f*ck it is....

Yeah, well, you're coming wherever I go. That much I know.

Any word on where I'm going?

I *know* I'm going somewhere.

And it's going to be somewhere with family, or heart-family. I'm getting a strong sense of "Home, with my loved ones, but Somewhere Different." (this, when I think about moving to Alaska.)

Nope, I dunno. I find it interesting that so many people connected (or vaguely connected) to me are getting the sense to GO somewhere right now.

Amber I just know has to come with me. She's my right-hand-man. Can't go somewhere without her; she's the core start of my coven. I'm s'posed to be gathering them together, not letting them scatter away.

*giggles happily* Yay! ^_^ *waves a little flag*

I'm so flattered! ^_^

People connected to me, too. The couple with the son that I counseled years ago had to flee to Alaska Right Then, leaving his extensive LMB and other collection behind, because they both Knew they needed to be there.

Ooh, Alaska. I know several very nice people up there. I've actually toyed with the notion of heading that way myself.

It's nice, but only if you like cold.

Well, I'm not all that big on cold, but several of my friends insist you get used to it after a while. I've learned to handle summer in Texas without A/C in my car, and winter without a coat, so I might be able to handle Alaska.

One person even suggested that if you move there in late spring/early summer when it's warm, so that it gets cold gradually, you never even notice. *shrug* I dunno about that, but it sounds possible....

Well, since I moved to Phoenix, AZ in the fall from Alaska (just starting to chill down in Alaska, nice and warm in Phoenix), I got introduced to the heat nicely. It started out nice and warm, stayed nice and warm, got a bit crisp in the mornings for a while, got warm, got hot, got hotter, melted me, and then just stayed hot.

I walk around outside, these days, wearing long pants, a tank top, and over that, a long-sleeved shirt. Winters, I wear a leather jacket, not because I'm cold, but because it's finally cool enough to.

I am? Oh, good! I'm glad to hear that. ^_^

You could have *said* so, you know.... I was starting to worry!

I didn't know it needed to be said. I just figured you'd follow me. :P

What am I, a puppy? *mock-aggravated look*

Okay, you know what you need to do? You need to go *back* to this post on Az's journal and read the entire thread, because someone *clearly* didn't get the response I sent to Az about you.

Hmph. Puppy. Hmph.

*blushes and scuffs her toe on the ground* I hadn't gotten back to this thread yet. I've been cutting back my online time the last few days, so I've only been catching the highlights of stuff.

No shit.

Well, if you wind up in the Bay Area, you'll be in the Freaks & Geeks Capital of the US. :-)

That's for damn sure.

To wit: I was called here, and remain here to this day, feeling perfectly at home. ;)

I believe the incomparable

cadlha is in that area... if you don't read her articles, then by all means you should.

Ooops. http://www.livejournal.com/users/cadhla/

Hmm, tempting.

I do know someone who lives in Davis, which isn't that far out of "the Bay area", at least by my Texas standards. It's just West of Sacramento.

But...personally, I've never been to California. Makes me antsy. I'll have to go out and visit...ohhhh she'll like that, she's been badgering me to visit for ages, but the cost of *getting* there. Too far to drive, too much $ to fly. :(

Antsy as in the thought of going makes you antsy, or having not gone makes you antsy?

The idea of going somewhere I've never been makes me antsy.

But how can you go anywhere new if you've never been there before?

I've been to California. Nice place, if a little Betan. (Evidently she did base Beta Colony on South CA.)

Hrm. The idea of *moving* somehwere I've never *visited* and know the energy makes me antsy. Better?

Gotcha. Much more clear.

Oh, and same to you about reading

cadlha's "A Phokha Walks Into A Bar" columns, if you don't already.

The LJ doesn't seem to exist. Is that spelled right?

Probably not.

No, definitely http://www.livejournal.com/users/cadhla/

I'm listening to my "higher self" on this one. What will be is what will be, but I'll be damned if I ruin what I've got right now for the unknown. I worry about making the wrong choice. I will not run off to do gods know what without a DAMN good reason. I want my confirmation or fate can kiss my ass :)

gods must love me :)

D.E.

Thank you for keeping this Airhead grounded.

LOL...I need just as much help as you do dear!

Glad to know you're getting some.

SHUT UP! really... I mean that.

We all need help sometimes. Glad to see that with this and that and the doctors visits and what-all, and that dratted confirmation that may or may not be on its way, that you're getting help that's not just from me.

I'm only one witch, you know... :)
