alright. so. i'm moving to BC sometime this fall.
that much is clear.
the rest falls into my "phrase of the day" category:
shrouded in mystery.
bahah. honestly. this phrase completely sums up my overall life experience these days. everything is dense fog. (luckily for me, menacing mystery = irresistable.)
so yeah. all i know about the situation is this:
* a few years back in a marv class we had a substitute prof who made some completely vague passing comment about something in BC, and i had one of my "life moments" where an entirely out-of-place impression settled on me. it let me know that's where i was going to wind up.
* as per usual after one of these rare epiphanies, it took a couple years devoid of any further elaboration before it began to come to life. at some point last summer, it reminded me it was there and strange outside and inside things started beckoning me (the only thing i could liken it to would maybe be that small whispery sound of rain on open windows when you're not sure if it's starting to rain yet?)
* continuing with the crappy analogy, it's definitely raining. it's been "spitting" all year, and now there's been a crack of thunder in the most interesting form that seems the closest thing to affirmation i'm going to get. ...bring on the downpour.
* i still don't know the when and the where and the why. i figure the when might be revealed soonest (this summer is the preparation/getting life in order/saving up phase, and i'm aiming for the fall)... the why is definitely being kept an epic secret from me and i don't think i'll know until after i get there (i hope it's something completely unexpected and intriguing and challenging)... and the where is just plain ridiculous. because without the why, that's kind of hard to decide.
i've gone from abbotsford to vancouver to abbotsford to kelowna to insanity. i have no idea where i'm supposed to go. so that's where you come in. yep, you. got any ideas? know anyone who needs a roommate? had any divine revelations regarding my life? let me know. because i know nothing about BC except that i'm supposed to go there.
to be continued...

please?
Abbotsford is nice, if not very boring in the summer... very.
If you do move here, work at Ethical Addictions and live on/near Clearbrook Road.
east vancouver!!! don't move to abbotsford! You won't get to see the ocean and you'll never get to go to shows!
quiet you, she's all mine/our's.
thats true, the ocean is a good choice. abbotsford, however filled with friends, is culturally dead / nonexistant.
hahah oh you guys. em's advice was "live everywhere for 6 months, that way you don't have to decide." that wasn't very helpful. mmm...but for real. keep your ears peeled for people needing a roommate. that is my only idea so far that could provide me with an obvious clue. plus, it'd be nice to move in to a place that exists upon arrival rather than show up with all my stuff and then have to live in a car full of stealable stuff while i look for a place. i don't think vancouver is an option...i need to ease into BC. boys, your odds are looking good.
(although..i do have an old roommate who's living in vancouver and who is really gunning for me to resume my ancient position as her show buddy...so i'm not completely ruling it out...gahhhh, less options please!)
i went to kelowna this weekend. it was disappointing. vancouver has the ocean, as well as everything. my bedroom is free as of August 22nd! My roommate is looking for someone.
Previous post minus egregious spelling errors: I used to live in Sooke. It was pretty great. It's nice and small and cozy (or at least it was) and yet still close to Victoria, which, while not huge in the Calgary sense, is big enough for all your city-related needs. In conclusion, Vancouver Island rules. A lot.
