Tonight I do so again, with less than three days left before I leave my Austin home and chase my dreams to the other side of the world.

I cannot think of a more appropriate way to come full circle before spiraling off into a million others.

Words cannot do justice to the potpourri of emotions I am feeling right now, so suffice it to say I love you all dearly and will think of you often and fondly. Tonight already means so much to me.

Thank you, Miss Angeliska, for making this all possible.

Your 2011-In-Review post was worth the wait a billion times over! One of the great delights of my past year is the fortunate stumbling upon your bee-log. Your bee-log is now nestled in the part of my mind that’s strictly reserved for only the most beautiful things. Inspired by your 2011 lessons/2012 resolutions, I scribbled out a Review of 2011/Welcome to 2012 post of my own: http://theheightoflife.com/?p=421 I mostly talk about launching a revolution against the tyranny of expectations (self-imposed or otherwise) and, y’know, my deep and abiding love of fudge.

that’s real fucked up about the police’s reaction. fuck them. some day we all gotta get together and figure out something different, because this system really ain’t working for us.

RIP.

I’m also thrilled to see someone else who knows Christeene, a.k.a. Paul Soileau! I’ve heard him interviewed three times now on my friends’ podcast Feast of Fun, and I adore him! I had no idea Austin was such a burgeoning mecca of off-the-wall creativity and queer goodness. I wish I’d visited before I expat-ed.
