Moving on...

So, tonight's my last night in Toronto, and I'm staying up for most of it, seeing how I have to leave for the airport at 5am and Dex gets home around midnight. I've had a nap tho', which will help, and my abiility to sleep on public transport of any kind, in any position, will hold me in good stead.

I've got to say it, I'm kinda wishing I had more time here. I just feel so at home. Another week, maybe two. *grins* At least until Doqz and Dex get sick of me, but seeing how I do dishes, that might not happen for a while. So it might be until Immigration catches up with me and ships me home.

*waves to her family* Only joking. Looking forward to being home again.

Doqz helped me figure out why it is I want to go home. It's not homesickness, not exactly - I miss my family and friends and I'm looking hugely forward to AusCon and all - but a need for assert my independence again. To stop relying on the strangeness of kind friends. ;) Or the kindness of strange friends, whichever works. Basically I miss my own space, my own habits.

I've been house-hunting, in my head. Picturing my future abode, furnishing it, establising myself there. Daydreaming about normal life. *grins again* Yes, I'm weird that way. But yeah, I can quite happily settle into the work/home/karate/social routine again, because it won't be a routine, it'll be all new - 'cause it'll be me, on my own, making my own decsions and having a perfectly normal life.

*nods* Yep, that sound like fun to me. :)

But, before all that, I have a week in LA. I'm staying with Xander, and there seems to be a gathering organised for the weekend, which is all good. I'm looking forward to seeing the SoCal folks again, and meeting those I haven't seen yet. Then, Brisbane, and Melancamp and the Ds. *chuckles* Sounds like a blues band - and hey, Mel's even got the fedora for it. ;)

Hmm, must remember to find a silly hat for AusCon that won't give me heat exhaustion..
