Move On (Bloom Like The Sunlight In My Song)

For some of you the information posted from here on out will be old news since some of you are being directed here from livejournal, but for those of you that don't have access to livejournal, this is all brand new.

Excellent. Moving on.

As most of you (should) have heard, I am moving to Calgary this Summer. Once I move this blog will be your best bet for finding out what's going on with me. I'm not a fan of mass emails, and I'm also not big on the idea of answering, repeatedly, the question "So... how's Calgary treating you?". If you want to know, read about it here like everybody else.

The move is currently in the planning stages, though there isn't a whole lot of planning that needs to be done. The dork in me has set up a multipage spreadsheet and I've pretty much got everything covered. The only thing that needs to be settled is whether or not I go through with my plans for My Summer Vacation.

The soonest I can leave Vancouver is July 6th as I have contractual obligations to fulfil until July 5th. Now this is where the plan divides into two. Plan A is the Ideal Plan.

Plan A:

• Sell off all my crap except my books and bed by the first week of July.


• Give up my apartment (such bitter sadness) by July 15th


• Pack everything into a rented cargo van and drive to Calgary, put everything in storage, drive back to Vancouver.


• Spend the next two to three weeks in Vancouver crashing on couches of anybody that will let me, all while still working my two jobs.


• First week of August (or last week of July, depending on the money situation) quit my jobs and set out on The Best Roadtrip Ever.


• Spend a week in Seattle with some of my favourite people


• Move to Calgary and impose upon my best friend and his lovely wife while I look for work and a place to live

Plan B

• Sell off all my crap except my books and bed by the first week of July.


• Quit my jobs


• Spend a week in Seattle with some of my favourite people


• Give up my apartment (such bitter sadness) by July 15th


• Pack everything into a rented cargo van and drive to Calgary, put everything in storage


• Impose upon my best friend and his lovely wife while I look for work and a place to live

So that's currently what's going on with me. Right now I'm just working my ass off until the day I get to put my well laid plans into action.
