Evolution

"Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success... ...Flat stretches of boring routine... ...And valleys of frustration and failure."
-Calvin

Sometimes I think I was born to be a nomad, forever destined to desire a change of scenery. Other times I want nothing more than to have that comfort zone, familiarity and routine. If you asked me right now, this moment, I'd have to tell you that I was a nomad. I crave change.

So I made a change last night, just a small one that I didn't think was going to make the large impact that it did. But isn't that how life goes? You alter something so minutely and your whole universe collapses around you? Ok well It wasn't my universe, maybe just Uranus. I left my guild in Everquest 2, after a long discussion which ended in me basically being told to just "leave already". Which really sucks because I didn't think it was going to impact the friendships I've formed there.. I was assured that it wouldn't. But I think it already has.

The other universe-altering event that's going on in my life is our (My BF Rob's and my) decision to move to Washington and his mom's decision to sell this house. So lately I've been working on getting things cleaned up and sorted out. And soon I'll be packing up and making another cross-country trip, unpacking and getting used to another new town. And hopefully, after all that, the comfort-zone part of me will return. I'm gonna cross my fingers just in case. :P
