have Murris travel across the US (and return home safely)
meet Murris 1 week ago

Murris is a kitty made for me by a good friend. In his short life, he’s already been photographed for his many antics. In a month, I’ll be moving to NC and Murris will get the chance to be out and about around Raleigh. But I was thinking it’d be fun if he could go couch surfing across the US. He’s already got a few spots lined up, but if you’re interested in hosting him and passing him on (I would like to get the little guy back after his adventures), send me a message.

Here is a facebook group just started for Murris, where you can see more pictures of him. And feel free to join!

move to north carolina
Миллион Алых Роз 3 weeks ago

I spent Monday and Tuesday in NC with my best friend (who was stellar enough to go with me) looking for apartments. I’m really excited about my pick, now we just need to put in our application as the move is about six weeks away.

It’s wildly romantic, this leap of faith. I’m rarely one to dwell on romance, but I can’t help it right now. The move involves significant sacrifices intermingled with uncertainties – but it wouldn’t be romance otherwise.

The photograph is me with Juan of Tasca Brava – one of the many reasons I can’t wait to be an NC gal.



don't be needlessly proud or needlessly sensitive
Untitled 4 weeks ago

We often show the least restraint around those closest to us . So while we may need to treat each other better at times, we also need to cut each other some slack about general grumpiness. I’m not saying I won’t ever be sensitive or proud in the future, but I’m wise to the pitfalls of such vanities :p

I think one can be braver without needless pride and sensitivity, as well as generally more agreeable and calm.
