My Last Day At This Address

Well, today is my last day as a resident of Arkansas. Tomorrow morning, I’ll be jumping into a moving truck and driving down to Austin, Texas. I’ve almost packed all of my stuff. There’s just a couple boxes of things left to put in the truck.
I had a WHOLE lot more than I thought I did. When I picked the truck up yesterday, I thought it was too big. It looked like I could’ve used a 10’ truck instead. I’m so glad I stuck with the 16’ truck. There is no way I could’ve crammed all my crap into a 10’ truck.
I’ve lived here for over five years. That’s about four more than I had planned. My social life has been non-existant in that time. I enjoy the outdoors, beautiful scenery, quiet nights, gajillions of stars at night and so on, but I have hardly any friends and no prospect of finding new ones really, let alone meeting someone I’d like to marry.
I’ve had only one good friend this whole time here. I needed to get out of here and move to a place where the social scene is a lot better, and Austin is definitely a good place for that. Plus, I was born and raised there, so it’s familiar. It’s changed a lot since I left in ‘93, but many places are familiar. And I’ve still got friends and family there.
So anyway, this will be my last post from Arkansas. This weekend will be a blur unloading the truck and getting everything set up. I hope to be back on the Net by Monday or Tuesday.
