Could you hit the rewind button of my life? I think I missed some.
Time, cruel friend, why do you fly so? For someone who spends so much of her time moving from place to place, I seem to generate a fair amount of inertia. Soon I'll be wrenching myself away from my whirlwind life in Ithaca. I could have written about the events of the past month individually and eloquently, but that would have required slowing down...
Singing with the chorus in the Twilight Concert (my second last Twilight)
Dancing in the lights of Masquerave, bedecked as Escher's Mobius II
Carving a pumpkin with the same toothy grin my dad always carved years ago
Birding on the Montezuma Wildlife Drive (Wheeeeeee there were Pintails and Shovelers and Ruddy Ducks and a Trumpeter Swan!!!)
Photographing trees (and climbing them) with PunNinja in the arboretum
Flipping around and around and around in a swivel harness
Performing a fight with someone I've never fought with before
Stars above my head
Discussing with SwordSquirrel how to end a fight... while performing the fight
Realizing that in the woods it goes from dim to dark very quickly
Cooking dinner at 11:30 pm, and lots of Dr. Who
Going dancing because PuzzleBraid brought me a swirly skirt to dance in
Three people + two beds = three people sleeping on the floor
Playing Boggle with my housemates in the creek bed by a campfire (that was earlier tonight)
It is time to move on; I can feel good about that. The job here has been a handy experience for me, and I'm excited for the next opportunity. The question is: do I seize the chance to come back? I could probably be happy in another spot, it just means taking more risks about the unknown. I keep flinging myself into the unknown, like a bobber on a fishing line, but I keep getting reeled back in to Ithaca. If I do return, I don't want it to be for the wrong reasons. I don't want the place that feels like home to become my rut. Yet if I wander, I can't take it all with me. It would require a very hefty duffle.
So... guess I will just take advantage of shiny things while I can. Business as usual.
