Big changes

I was chatting with someone last night and realized I hadn't made a post about this...

I'm moved into my new apartment (which is a total lemon. I've had to call maintenance over and over), but I'm already looking at another move... Across the country.

When I was out in California last year, visiting [livejournal.com profile] kirax2 , I got a job offer in San Diego, which came with the offer of very reasonably priced living space. Just recently, I finally gave an official "yes". So, sometime this summer, probably at the end of June, I'm going to be packing up and moving all the way across the country, to a city I've visited twice, over a thousand miles from my family and the place I've lived me whole life.

I'm excited as all hell, and I keep having panic attacks and crazy mood swings (sorry,[livejournal.com profile] faile_neume ) and this is the biggest thing I've ever done. I haven't told my family I took the job. I think I'm going to do it on Friday, and that's giving me a whole 'nother set of issues.

I want to keysmash forever. That's not very productive, though.

On the plus side, this means I'll be 1.3 miles from Comicon. Not that I have tickets or anything, because I'm afraid to spend a discretionary cent because this move is going to be expensive, and I'll be paying double rent for a few months, too.

I keep deleting keysmashes. My head is about to explode.

*hugshugshugshugshugs* And you don't need to apologize.

Dude the tickets are totally sold out. I checked like 2 days after they went back on sale and they were gone. I mean I was upset :<

But yeahhh calicali baby. We don't have swamps or gators or nothin but I think it's pretty swell. Hope everything works out smoothly for you!

I am really excited for you! I've moved a lot - across country and back and forth so if you need someone to talk too - please feel free to Pm me.

As a note: I work for a Realtor - if your apartment is really that bad you might be able to use that to break the lease and not have to pay double rent. You might want to check that out. :)

Good Luck!

Congratulations! How EXCITING! (And by exciting I mean both exhilarating and terrifying.) I've been toying with the same idea, just jumping ship here and moving states away to a place I've visited once (sorta twice) and just... starting over. Making a better go of things. Just look at it like that and I'm sure your anxiety will lessen!

Congratulations! For what it's worth, we'll be on the same coast! :D

Good luck on the move! That is really a huge step, but congrats on being bold and going for it! I applaud your courage and determination!! While I'm sure there'll be some bumps along the way between now and moving day, ultimately I know you'll be successful.

Good luck with telling your family. I'm sure they'll be sad to see you go, but hopefully they'll also be happy that you're taking this opportunity and adventure. And if nothing else, remind them that now they have an excuse to go visit Southern Cali, which is beautiful and a very unique culture!

Sorry to hear the new place is being a problem but I'd love to tender you a happy welcome to southern California.

Wow! How exciting! (And scary!) Best of luck to you!!!

Hi! Okay, so you don't know me, but I clicked through to read your story and saw your news.

Congratulations on your new job. :) As a San Diego native, if you have any questions about basically anything, let me know. San Diego is a GREAT city and there is TONS to do, if you get hooked in.
