The state of things...

[gnine]

Oh look, an update. It's only been...um...waaaaaay too long. I suck, we all know it, ahem, let's move on. ^_-

Thought I should probably post a "state of things" seeing as those are about to change in a few days and well...um...cienna was sitting next to me being a good girl and also updating and I felt inspired?

So, finished my MA, yay! And, though it's not yet official yet, according to my prof., who I may have cornered and desperately casually asked how I had done, said I passed and with a merit! W00t!

Now, after a month or two of job hunting (and a two week excursion into a reeeaaally unpleasant job situation that did NOT end well and in which my boss was rather...ahem...batshit control freak rude, oh and rather classist. Not fun, 'nough said. :-p) without much luck (London is expensive and the job market is nooot kind currently) it's back to the States with me for the next few months.

Leaving to head back Wed. and oh god but I'm gonna miss it here a LOT. Love London sooo much and all the friends I've made! *sniffle* Especially the merlin_london crew, who all ROCK and this past Saturday was AWESOME!

So, back in Massachusetts for the next few months, until May at least after a wedding I'm gonna be in (so excited for that, my darlin' dearest! *huggles*) and then I think it'll be off to some other country, possibly Japan, possibly somewhere else, but definitely abroad.

So, to all my New England peeps, hope to be able to catch up in the next few months!

And now...sorting stuff for packing...ugh...-_- Have I mentioned how much I hate moving?

Yay, happy to see you back Stateside! If you make it down to the DC area stop by and say hi. :D

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Yes, definitely, or if you're up the Boston way, you'll also have to let me know!...or maybe we can meet half way in NYC? ^_^

[kouriarashi.livejournal.com]

Hey! Amanda and I are going to be in New Hampshire for a week in December around Christmas - we should get together and hang out! I've missed you!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Oh, that'd be great. I'm actually gonna be in Seattle from December 1st to the 20th, but then I'll be in MA after that so if you're around after that I'd love to get together. It has been AGES!! ^_^ *huggles*

[kouriarashi.livejournal.com]

Yup! We're going to be arriving on the 20th, leaving on the 29th. So we'll be there at the same time, yay!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Oh, PERFECT! (oh but that's gonna be a busy week ^_-) Can't wait to see you, *huggles*

[kouriarashi.livejournal.com]

Hey, now that we're a little closer to the time, any idea what time you're going to have free? Me and some of my friends (I think you've met some of them? Though it was a while ago) were going to go see Dawn Treader on the 22nd, dunno if you'd be interested in that. Let me know ^_^

(I hope you'll see this here, I don't your email or anything, erk.)

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Alas, I already have plans for the 22nd...actually, the week before Xmas is pretty much all booked up :-p Would you be free that Monday or Tuesday afterwards? Really do want to be able to see you!

Oh, and my email is gninek at gmail dot com

[kouriarashi.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, I know what you mean about being booked up. I think I need to start writing my schedule down, I've got so many places to be.... but both Monday and Tuesday are ok by as long as it's in the late afternoon/evening! Woot!

[kouriarashi.livejournal.com]

Monday's probably better, come to think of it. Tuesday is my last day there and I'm sure my family is going to claim my time. >_

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Yay, so shall we say Monday afternoon/evening?

[kouriarashi.livejournal.com]

Yes! (And now I'm in NH, which may make planning easier.) What shall we do/where shall we meet up?

[gnine.livejournal.com]

sorry took so long to get back to you, this week has been mental! If you wanna email me at gninek @ gmail dot com we can exchange numbers and make exact plans? Is there anywhere in particular that would be good for you?

[byakkodan-slash.livejournal.com]

WE ARE HANGING OUT! ::intense stare::

[gnine.livejournal.com]

YES, YES WE ARE! *stares back*

Seriously, though, after living in Kyoto for four years and then London, I'm gonna be craving city life so I have a feeling I'll be winding up in Boston. A LOT! Can't wait to see you! ^_^

[efrafan-refugee.livejournal.com]

Let me know when you have arrived in our glorious hometown.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll be back tomorrow night, but then I'm out to Seattle for three weeks from Dec. 1st to the 20th, so...but look forward to seeing you and your lovely wife at some point ^_^

[gnine.livejournal.com]

...As if I WOULDN'T ^_. Sooo can't wait to see you! And I'll be around for your bachelorette party and your wedding, so, three times in only a few months! GASP! ^_- And yes, the sibs wil be coming back with me. (We're actually all flying on the same day, though different routes, thaaaat should be interesting ^_-)

[katzb101.livejournal.com]

Safe journey and travels. *hugs* And next time you're back in the UK we'll have to do something sometime.*g*

[gnine.livejournal.com]

*huggles* Thanks so much and yes, yes we will! Oh I'm gonna miss everyone soo very much!

[topaz-kat.livejournal.com]

*Huggles* Okaeri Nasai! Will be happy to have you back on this side of the pond, but I know the feeling. Coming back to the US after London is a bit on the weird side. Would love to catch up with you, but I'm still stuck in Ithaca... might be making some changes though.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

It is gonna be hard, it was after Japan. Now I have TWO countries to miss terribly :-p

And if you're in the Boston area, you're certainly welcome to crash with me and I'm hoping to maybe be back in Ithaca at some point for another visit, I do so love the area. *huggles*

"So, finished my MA, yay! And, though it's not yet official yet, according to my prof., who I may have cornered and desperately casually asked how I had done, said I passed and with a merit! W00t!"

!!!!!! And you didn't think to tell us this when we called the other day and when you called tonight?!!? For shame....

But, ****CONGRATULATIONS!!!!****

Can't wait to see you tomorrow night!! Come home Safely.

Love you.

[pixiequeen10thk.livejournal.com]

You will very much be missed :( *hugs*

EDIT: because I have a brain the size of a pea. Yes I meant to say congrats on the MA though!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

*huggles* I'm gonna miss you guys SO MUCH!!!

And thanks! ^_^

[mewtopia.livejournal.com]

Well hello, hope you're settling back nicely? It's Tani from London by the by!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Hey there! Settling in quite nicely, though am missing London terribly! Nice to hear from you, hope things are going well! ^_^

[mewtopia.livejournal.com]

Things are going really well thanks :) Can't believe it's only 2 weeks till good old Jesus' b-day.

So I heard your userpic is done entirely by you, haha, awesome :) Though I don't think I recognize any of them.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Yeah...all of 2010 kind of ZOOOMED by! Where does the time go?!?!?!

Yeah, most of them were done for a cloak that I made and then printed the pics on fabric iron ons. Most of them are from anime, the last few are from some American shows. (You can see all of them, along with some of my other artwork here).

So, you sticking around London for the holidays or off with family?
