A foreign concept

[thrihyrne]

So as I was walking home from a fabulous store to get birthday cards (since no fewer than three of my closest friends have birthdays on the same day this month) and was enjoying the glorious weather here in the northern part of Oregon, a few things occurred to me:

‡ Why yes, I did successfully up and move from Virginia to Portland, Oregon, and find a wonderful living arrangement
‡ I am, in fact, going to England next month (and probably Ireland)
‡ I do, also, have an interview tomorrow at a nearby college for a position where I feel I'd do really well
‡ There are some slashers in Portland! And I'll get to meet them!

These thoughts swirled and a strange bubbling up of feelings caused tears to prick at my eyes. I felt an unfamiliar sensation, and it took me a little while, because I haven't felt it in quite some time, but I think I've figured out what it is:

OMG. It's optimism.

To further celebrate, here's a picture of my hallmate's cat, perched on the front gable of the house.

Good to feel a little optimism! ;)

I love Billy. When Rachel is gone for a day or two, he comes and spends lots of time with me. He even slept with me two nights ago. I loved it.
