'it's decision time again'

i hate that i have been away from the site for so long. suddenly my life has been taking up so much of my time that i haven't had the time to sit and reflect on it. i don't know whether that's definitively a good or bad thing.

well kids, the times, they are a-changin' as i make plans to haul my tail out of the big apple and follow my heart back home to virginny. nothing is set in stone, and i really need to gods-of-jobs to smile my way, but by the end of the summer i hope to be sharing a townhouse with my beau in staunton, VA. i've been playing some hard D on this one since i made this decision last week, but my hardest critic has of course been myself. the bottom line i guess though is that i have spent far too much of my life waiting for things -both good and bad- to happen, and this past year has taught me all about truly doing my own thing.

i finally feel as though i hit my stride in nyc, and that gives me a pang or two as i think about leaving. but deciding between a place and a person i love isn't really a huge toss-up.
