Wow! Has It Really Been Over a Month?

Feb 10, 2009 21:54

My goodness. I can hardly believe it's been so long since I've posted. So much has happened. So much blogworthy goodness that I find myself sitting here with absolutely...nothing...to...say ( Read more... )

I, too, am obsessed with Guitar Hero. And Rock Band, too! I just beat Guitar Hero 3 on medium mode last night. Now I'm going to start the hard level. (I'm playing the guitar part - my husband plays the drums... hehe, and he plays the easy level.)

Our Christmas trees are down, but the outside Christmas lights are still up, as well as several Christmas decorative things here in the house. It is my goal to have them down before Valentine's. (Which probably means I'll spend Friday night frantically trying to take them all down.) :p

Yes! Move to Texas! I'm moving to Texas in January next year. I'm SO excited! :) I'm specifically moving to Austin, and I can't wait to be away from this rainy doom-n-gloom here in Portland. :D

Ha!

I'm looking at Austin as well! I've been checking some of the job listings off and on and the more I think about it the more I want to make it happen.

I'm not thrilled at the prospect of moving to a red state...but I think Austin has the kind of balance of lifestyle and culture that I'm looking for these days.

And ZOMG! I play Guitar Hero and Rock Band on medium too! I play guitar and right now I'm working my way through the local tour! Are you on Wii, Xbox, or PS3?

Ohhh, I love me some Austin. Previous to last year, I'd only traveled through Austin on my way to other Texas cities, (such as San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas.) However, one of my best friends lives in Austin, and he's told me for the past 9 years that I should move there. I finally went to visit last year, in March, while on Spring Break.

Wow, it was great. I really loved it. It's small enough that you can easily get around it, (as opposed to Houston), but large enough that there's tons of stuff to do.

And yeah, at first, I was apprehensive about moving to a red state, too. (I've lived in Ohio, Michigan, Connecticut, Hawaii, California, and now I'm in Oregon.) Texas would definitely be the reddest state I've ever lived in. However, Austin's definitely got a more liberal vibe to it.

And the weather in Austin is SOOOOOO much better than Portland. :D

And if you *do* move to Austin, that's awesome, cuz then I'll know someone else, too, from LJ. neicystrips is there, too, so that's 2 people from this LJ that I'd know there ( ... )

Okay...you just convinced me to double my efforts to find some job leads down in Austin. I have got to get out of Michigan. My soul dies a little bit every day that I look at the state of the auto industry. I need a change of scenery.

I play on Wii, and I'm just waiting for the first wave of Guitar Hero carpal tunnel injuries to start rolling in!

And ditto on that blasted orange key! Hot for Teacher on world tour almost gave me a seizure!

It's almost mid-February...and my Christmas tree is still up.

LOL!

I know. I'll own that. It just hasn't been a priority ya know?

Plus...it's so pretty. =)

I'd say it's about time to take that Christmas tree down...

Maybe replace it with another type of decor?

abstract_truth February 13 2009, 02:05:51 UTC

Ugh...yeah I know. I'm just being lazy at this point.

I'm definitely taking it down this weekend!
