kyabetsu at 11:28am on 26/11/2006 under berlioz, family, happy birthday, happy thanksgiving, vermontFirst off, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL! (Belatedly, but maybe you're still eating leftovers?)
Secondly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BLUE!!! (Belatedly, but i had no int0rwebs during the travelling.)
Thirdly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VCHAN!!! (Belatedly, but i've got a theme going.)
Okay. I went to vermont. I love vermont. I love Kevin. I love kevin in Vermont. It seems so... optimistic at this point. I still need some more facts and actual commitments from my boss, but oh the possibilities!
On a less euphoric note, my beautiful boy, BERLIOZ got out while i was up in Vermont and go his TAIL stuck in ... something sharp?? The bone is exposed and the vet is talking about amputation. he's currently heavily bandaged (much to his annoyance) and may be loosing about 4 inches of tail before this is all over. $$-wise, that could be 1500$ dollars worth of cat tail. The vet also says she heard a heart murmur.
My boy... my beautiful boy... *clings to her kitty.* He's supposed to live to be 22 at least! He's only 8! These things can't be happening! He's still under warrantee!
really... i've not told my family about things with Vermont, b/c it's all so vague still... or at least it was before the trip. It's way less vague now, but still not grandparent-proof. I'm so scared to tell them-- they've done so much for me here. I don't want to jerk them around. I don't want them to shoot it down. I don't want to have to choose a PRAY i'm making the right choice, b/c while they'd be there for me, i don't want to fail AGAIN and come home AGAIN and have them never trust me to do anything ever for the rest of my life and have them treat everything like a failed idea before it starts b/c they ALREADY do that and ... guh. *thumps head.* But not telling them is getting to me big time. I feel like such a liar.
i've gotta run and write a minimum of 7 pages of macro-economics paper.... or i'd give you guys the full spectrum of hope that is Vermont.

White River Junction--dead center of the North-South border between New Hampsire and Vermont on the VT-side. It's literally right across the river from Lebanon and Hanover.

YES! well. my boyfriend of 2+ years is. He's applied and we're waiting to hear back. Since it's a two year program, he'll apply for the scholarship and we're looking at moving up there.
What will *I* be doing?
I'll be starting up a comic book shop (A REAL ONE!--the one that's already there is pbbt.) in the White River Junction Area. I'll get the store i've dreamed of owning. I'll be living with my guy.
And, if two years down the road, the CCS thing has done wonders for Kevin, the store will hopefully be stable enough for me to hire workers and give me time to potentially attend myself!
I don't know about that last bit. I SO wanna learn to ink better and I want my story-telling skills to go UP UP UP... but more than that, I must admit, I want to have a successful comic book store. So that is my big big focus.
How'd you know about CCS? Are you local around there? Are you just local to the NorthEast? Talk to me!

I probably won't be back up that way until spring time. Though my boss will be visiting soon to figure out how he wants to do this thing with the expanding the store or giving us a loan or what.

I'm glad things went well in Vermont, though!
