Well, I've done alot of thinking over the last week.
What I have here simply doesn't add up to enough to be worth staying.
I have family here, brother and sister followed up with an insane mother.
Think I put it best earlier telling my sisters sister in law.
I have 2 things holding me here.
Bad memories and family. While not exclusive by themselves, they are much nearer than one would think too.
My kids aren't here, job market sucks ass, I hate this city and have for years.
While there, I have a very old friend, such a good lass too. She might be capable of giving me the kick in the ass that I need to get out of this rut I've been stuck in for so long.
I am still, relatively close to home, mere 6 hour drive and I'm back in this black hole of a city.
So even if it doesn't pan out, I am not far from coming back.
Which I think I'd rather sleep on the streets of D/FW than live in any home here in Wichita.
So. Sunday night after a larping* weekend, I am going to come home, load up my car with what I need/want and get the hell out of dodge.
With the prayers of only coming back for visits with family and the few friends I have.
I just really hope I can change enough of who I am to be able to do this and not end things in another disappointment.
Guess we will see in a week or two huh?
Hun, I hope you're ready, cuz I don't know if I am.
*L.A.R.P.ing is the equivalent to taking Dungeons & Dragons and mixing it with improvisational theatre. Minor explanation to those who don't know.

i somehow lost sight of your being a LARPer...
moving to TX? hm...i would think that LG would warn against that, and given some of the things she's said, i'm not entirely certain how strong the job market is in texas...

I think its an excellent move. Make sure you tell the kiddos so they don't hear it from me. They hate being the last to know. I will be in Kansas for Thanksgiving for your future reference. A good time to come back and visit, I think. -

good luck with the move!

ed: Mind if I hit you up in a Private message?
Oh and yea, I've been a larper for a very large number of years. That was one of the things stopping me from moving, just joined the local plot team. :shrug: So much for that. lol
VM: Aye, I've been meaning to call, just... hhmmm I will try to call tonite, any certain time better than another? I need to know time zone differences too, I can never remember them right. You guys are +1 hour?
hillbillygirl, nice triple post!!! Guess you really mean it then huh? :poke poke:
~_^ LoL

vacantmind said on Sep 19, 2007....
We are in the same time zone. Call after 5p then they all should be home. -
gingersoul said on Sep 19, 2007....
PP......i've read and article on Yahoo stating that there are 10 Texas cities in the first 100 most rich and fast growing cities of all the States.
Sugar Land was third place, Richardson 15, Carrollton 19. Around Dallas there are also Allen and Frisco that are booming and McKinney.
I I think you made a smart move job-wise. I dont know what kind of field you are specialized though.....anyway....welcome to Texas...;-)

Ready and waiting for you, Hun.
And you are already doing the most important part.
You are letting someone help you up. It sucks ass and stings the pride, but I learned that lesson the hard way too and I'm still kicking.

GalisDraeKon said on Sep 19, 2007....
Well, I hate to say this, but it sucks to see you go. I understand that, sometimes, we all just need a change. Oh, and what the hell am I supposed to do about the December event?!? (I'm his other plot team member) Take care man, I'd better see you on the holidays too. -
LadyGamer said on Sep 19, 2007....
Hello?!
You guys never heard of email? He can totally help with ideas still AND if he takes the job I have primed and waiting for him... won't be working weekends. How bout THEM apples?

hillbillygirl said on Sep 19, 2007....
I dont know why that posted three times like that...but yeah I do really mean it ;)~I think you are making a very smart move....this is the best way to start over. I hope you can go with a positve outlook. Im so glad that you have a friend there that is willing to help you out .... and let her set that fire under your ass!!! -
LadyGamer said on Sep 19, 2007....
Did I mention the DSL?
For the Email?
On the DSL?
Did I mention that?

vacantmind said on Sep 19, 2007....
I found something to keep you in the state of Kansas. Man this would have been fun if we had only known sooner.
Stupid Kansas Law:
Before proceeding through the interesection of Douglas and Broadway, a motorist is required to get out of their vehice and fire three shot gun rounds into the air.
Don't worry, I am sure Texas has more.
-
gingersoul said on Sep 19, 2007....
Vacant.....oh yeah.....what a fun!...... -
LadyGamer said on Sep 19, 2007....
Hey. I remember that intersection. That law should probably still be enforced.
*shudders*
-
vacantmind said on Sep 19, 2007....
Another Kansas Law: Good luck getting out of town. This would explain all the stopped trains.
If two trains meet on the same track, neither shall proceed until the other has passed.
LG.. I am pretty sure that some people are still living by this law and have expanded it to Ash street, 21st, and South Broadway.
-
vacantmind said on Sep 19, 2007....
Thought it only fitting to let you know you are safe from me moving to Texas.
Stupid Dallas, TX law
It's illegal to possess realistic dildos.
Second Stupid TX law:
You can be legally married by publically introducing a person as your husband or wife 3 times.
So watch what you say!
-
GalisDraeKon said on Sep 19, 2007....
Only you, vacant, would worry themselves about realistic dildo's. Buy a Purple rubber one and be happy! -
LadyGamer said on Sep 19, 2007....
I had a purple rubber one. It made me very happy. Until the Guy I was seeing took it when he dumped me.
Who steals a woman's sex toy? What's he going to do with it? Himself? His next girlfriend. Keep it for posterity in his secret dildo collection that he sniffs to remember that particular woman?
I mean really.
-
vacantmind said on Sep 19, 2007....
I like the realistic ones. I'm going to hug it and squeeze it and call him George.
LG...I don't think you really want to know the answers to any of those questions. You did just remind me why you should always buy your own.
-
LadyGamer said on Sep 19, 2007....
Great.
I work with a very nice fellow named George. Now I won't be able to look him in the eye!
-
vacantmind said on Sep 19, 2007....
I opted for George because Bob is so over-used but I can change it to VIRGIN (Very intense ramming gadget imitating nookie) if that would help.
-
LadyGamer said on Sep 19, 2007....
Yeah. okay. But when the batteries start to go then its like the KINDA intense ramming gadget imitating nookie. Who wants to do it with KIRGIN? -
hidufel said on Sep 19, 2007....
oh i know i know! CANDY! -
vacantmind said on Sep 19, 2007....
From the urban dictionary.
kirgin---a person who has never been kissed. Similar to "virgin" but for kisses, so "kirgin."
Yeah, I don't want to kiss my dildo. I would then just change his name to TAD (Takes all day).
-
Pontius_Pilate said on Sep 20, 2007....
Yea I know you dont want me to leave G.
It has been a very tough choice, but one I think will be for the best.
And don't worry, from what A says, I am still on plot! LoL
I will be up as much as I can to help out.
Keep in mind, I am close to Denton, i.e. Ken. Bare minimums, I am sure I can work with him to catch rides. Price for event, some gas for him. I'll just make sure Dale knows to bring ALOT of food and water. LoL
VM: I heard about that law a very LONG time ago.... I have actually debating trying it out just to see what would happen.
Small drawback that would kick my ass though is that it is illegal to discharge firearms within city limits.
Sooooo... um, yea ok. LoL
As for all the dildo info.... wow... I got home after being gone all day and see my post has lost its nuts and has ended up being one of my top viewed/replied posts.
Freaked me out.. but I see why now,
Women talking about Dildos~!!!!
Oh and VM, I am sorry for not calling tonite, I ended up being out much much much longer than I had hoped. Didn't even get home until 3:30am!!!
But, I will be calling tomorrow to talk with the kids so they know what's up.
-
vacantmind said on Sep 20, 2007....
Hey, no problem. Call when you get thechance. Umm..sorry for kidnapping your post. I hope it made for a good laugh.

hidufel said on Sep 20, 2007....
pouts 'cause no one caught his ultra cool and subtle highlander ref... ;-( -
Pontius_Pilate said on Sep 20, 2007....
No worries... at least one of my posts got some folks chatting into it, seems most fail to pull it off with any sort of decent number of replies.
Anyways, not like a guy can bitch about women, and a few guys :shiver: talking about dildos!!
LoL
