Why not?

[minotaurs]

OK, I'm a little tipsy, but I'm not trashed. And why not? Why the fuck not? I'm *in* Seattle? Why am I leaving tomorrow? Why am I going back to a place, a life, where I feel trapped and helpless? Why am I going back to a city where I feel invisible and unwelcome? Why am I leaving a place where I feel connected and alive

I have found that the Fuck It, I'm Doing It approach has worked out very well for me. I hope it works just as well for you.

As much as I want you to be there when we finally move back, it really does sound like you'd be happier in Seattle, so GO. We'll come visit, I promise. :)

(Oh, and leaving the job in a lurch doesn't concern me as much as leaving poor Neener in a lurch. You might want to talk to him about up and leaving on a moment's notice first.)

Go for it. I moved to NYC with no job, came up for vacation found an apartment and moved a month later.

Stay in the NW, dude. You belong here.

I would miss you greatly, but I also understand being unhappy where you are and needing to get OUT. Good luck, my friend.
