Things are changing very quickly these days and I like it.

To make a long story short, Im running out of money. This sucks but its reality and I dont think I can go much further on the cash that I have without getting stranded in some crazy country. I will not call home for money so instead I may be moving to New York. Brooklyn is pretty excited about it and it makes me happy to know that people would be happy to have me there.

Nothing is set in stone yet but the opportunity has presented itself and I feel like its my duty to at least entertain the idea. Just between us though, Im pretty sure thats what I want, for now anyway. I am the queen of changing plans.

I got to hangout with Brooklyn again last night. It was fantastic but too short if you ask me! We shot a new set that I am in love with already. Youll have to wait to see it but its all about bikes!!!!! smile

Unfortunately she had to head back to New York this morning and so our time together was once again short.

Portland has been strange to come home to. Things with my family are crazy and not necessarily in a good way. But its nice to see the people I have missed so much this past year.

Ive been working on my bike the past few days. It should be all built up by tomorrow evening! Its been far too long since I last rode a bike.

Sunday is the Food Fight/ Scapegoat Anniversary paryt and Im excited for that. Ill get to see pretty much everyone at once! And Tuesday Im having my sleeve worked on. It still wont be finished but its one step closer at the very least.

My days have been filled with catching up with old friends, eating tons of vegan treats and working on my bike.

For now Im taking it easy and trying to figure out what the hell Im going to do at the end of the month. I want to have a Ladies Only kind of night with the PDX SGs and memebers while Im here but I wont hold my breath. I just hope it will happen.

Its so nice to eat vegan again. New York and DC were the beginnings of going back but now Im in full swing and realize how much I have missed it. Its pretty much impossible in a lot of places but Im happy to have the option again. I love being vegan.

I wish I had pictures to upload but Ive been really bad about taking photos since I got back and the few I do have are pretty much crap. Ill stop being stupid tomrrow and get back into it with full force!

Im really excited about the prospect of living somewhere again. There are a lot of wonderful things about traveling but there are some things that just cant be done from the road. Im looking forward to getting things done. A few things I want to do include: finish writing and publish my zine, take the MENSA test, go to school (I want to apply to NYU I think), cook/bake more, learn more about bike maintence, reconnect with people, learn to play classical guitar, and a million other tings.

The Mensa test will take a lot of effort on my part. Im really out of practice with a lot of brain exercises and most of the test is actually based on education not logic and reason. My father was a memeber and so was his mother. I think it would be cool if I could keep the line going.

I may take a short trip to Mexico before the move or travel the US for a bit seeing friends but who knows. Right now I need to stop worrying and have fun.

(Im so fucking lucky that my biggest problem in life right now is to decide between moving to NYC, go back to India, travel the US and Mexico or skip down to Australia....)

You should come to the SGPDX Brunch this Sunday! It's at Emanon cafe at 11 am. It'll be nice to finally meet you before you go off again smile

I know how you feel about the money thing. It was a constant worry for the second half of my trip and I've been poorer than ever since getting back. It's especially tough the way things are right now.

Haha, I get that a lot. I always feel self-conscious about smiling for pics, especially if it isn't natural. Plus, for a lot of those pics it's like "oh yeah, I should take a pic" and I don't really think about it.

Eh, I don't think I'm gonna order anything myself, I can't really afford to eat out right now. It's just a good time to see everyone at once. You should eat before or after but still come by so we can trade travel stories!

I really wanna see if I can get into MENSA too...It'd be something I really want to accomplish but at the same time, I feel I'd be disappointed if I didnt make it...guess there's only one way to find out smile

Glad you're well! I can't imagine being on the road that long myself. I love to travel, but I also love being an anchorite...

my vote would be for australia, but that's a baised opinion.. or maybe a fantasy.. that you could hook up with the abbywinters girls and have them help you out while you're there. Meanwhile, all possible luck with choosing and setting yourself up where ever you end up. Also good luck with the MENSA test.

Sorry to hear you are leaving P-town. This will be our loss, and NYC's gain.

That will happen. If people want you in their town and you don't have much else going on, go for it.

It's always good to have a base. Somewhere you can come back to.
