ACCOZZAGLIA

so, if you’re reading this, it means one of a few things:

– you’re a resident of the puget sound metro region
– you’re a former resident of this same area
– you’re either considering or have decided to move to this same area
– your name is either svairini or maatnofret
– you just recently moved across the country to begin a new chapter in your own life (you know what i mean, champ?)

otherwise, there’s no chance in hell that you could be reading this entry. okay, maybe you could, but it’d be really hard and not remotely worth your while.

after several days of figuring out how we’re going to make this work — and when we’re going to proceed — tgpeanut and i reached a mutual conclusion last night. it’s a slightly-malleable date (“malleable”, as in give or take a couple of days), but we’re looking at having me place closure with minneapolis and moving to seattle on or about october 7th.

yes. i’ll repeat that. october 7th, 2002.

she’ll be returning to work on the 14th, and it really makes no sense for me to keep pouring money into a month-to-month lease on a substandard flat that will pretty much moonlight as a storage space, which is essentially what it’ll be from september 4th through the 28th — the period that i’ll be out of town.

plus, why maintain all that stuff, like electricity, phone, long distance (oh good gwad) and ISP fees if the resources would be better spent on maintaining the same household?

yeah, this means a couple of things.

1. i only have about three cumulative weeks left of actually calling this flat my “home”.

2. i have a lot of shit to do in a very short period of time.

3. there is no spoonbridge and cherry.

it also means that i (thankfully) get to miss holidazzle and a 55-degree apartment in the month of january.

however, i really wanna get the chance to say au gratin to a lot of people around here, and to be honest, i’m not sure how much time i’m going to have.

i wish i could just throw a goodbye party here, but there simply isn’t enough physical space to host people in here. which is a frustrating shame, cos there really are a lot of people to whom i wanna say goodbye. the list is extensive, but it’d definitely include my friends, my attorney, my colleagues and other key folk in my life. if i could pull something like that off, it would be most surreal and emotional to be with the diverse bunch of people that i associate with my five years of being here, even though i’m sure that many of them haven’t ever seen each other before.

*big ol’ sigh*

so, i need to get off my arse and get to work on all this shit. if any of you see me slacking, prod me, will ya?
