so, i'm going to this town called chicago tomorrow morning. you may have heard me talking about it at some point. after two days of driving (with a stop in beautiful cleveland), my dad and i will arrive on monday, unpack my three thousand pounds of stuff, and i will collapse amongst the cardboard and the chaos of my new life.

i thought about writing some sort of flowery going away post, but considering that i'm getting teary listening to songs on DC101 this weekend (ie, U2's "walk on" - "you're packing your suitcase/for a place none of us have been" and then i'm like sobbing hysterically and gulping, "I'M packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been! except, i mean, everyone. but it's a metaphor! OH GAWWWDD I MISS D.C.!!!") i thought i had better not. it might get messy.

anyway, it's been real, as they say. yes, i'll still be posting here, but internet may be hard, or at least slow, to come by in chitown. i'll update as soon as i'm able.

take care!
