End of an era.

Sat Jun 6, 2009, 2:56 PM
Few people know that I'm moving to Philadelphia in September, to be a graduate student in Drexel University's Master of Public Health program.

Looking back, Irvine has been like a bubble to me - an amazing, informative, good bubble, but a bubble nonetheless. I've found amazing roommates & friends here, as well as the love of my life. So I'm leaving, not because I dislike it here, but because the future and the things I want for my future are too important to leave up to chance and complacency. I can only trust that, when I one day return to California, my true friends and my one-and-only will still hold me as closely in their hearts as they do today, even if that reunion is years from now.

I think time tests all things worth keeping... friendship and loyalty and trust and love most importantly among them. I'm already dreading leaving and fearful of not knowing anything about living on the East Coast, but at the same time I could not be more excited. I know I'll have many fun times to come in the remaining months (AX2009, Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince opening night, Krew meetups, romantic rendezvous, etc.) that I will carry with me wherever I may be. And that makes leaving, if nothing else, okay.

This is the end of an era and the beginning of the rest of my life. Here's hoping for the best~

pfufufu.... I managed to (stalk)find you. Hi, It's Isabella ^_^. Marlo's had a lot of rave reviews about your art. They are not unfounded XD

Oh my... I can has stalker nao? XD Thanks for the kind comments! <3

Since I didn't get a chance to say this during AX, I'll do it now... I had lots of fun with you both that night, and certainly hope you did too. I also hope we didn't totally kill you with the booze-cardplaying combo; if it's any consolation, I thought you handled it quite well. :3

lolol, I don't really drink, but it was Marlo who kinda got smashed XD. It was a lot of fun, though ^_^, kinda makes me wish I could be a Krew member too, haha.

Are you still going to come back here for next AX even though you're moving to another state? .__.

Well, given that two of the three founding Krew members were present that night, I'd say that makes you as good as a Krew member yourself. Just think of the drunken card-playing as your induction ceremony. >3

As for AX'10, I'm currently waiting to hear back on the possibility of reimbursement for travel expenses... so we'll see. But I certainly hope I can come back for it!

Perhaps, but it totally lacks the core essence (at least so I thought o__o) of Krew. I've not been on RO in aaaaagggges. My stalker is all dusty and cobwebby by now T__T. 3 Cheers for the pre-Krew era, when Anthem was still Anima and we were all reaching for our trans classes together. ;o;

Reimbursement for travel expenses would come from... your regular work? or AX? From what Marlo tells me you generally spend most of AX working/volunteering. Is it really that fun? o__o

(ugh too many questions >__>;) but btw... Do you use a tablet for your art? I noticed that you use OC for coloring... gaahh @__@ I find it so hard to use that program. I always end up making the colors all muddy-looking.
