*sigh*
So we're going to be moving into annwfn this weekend. it feels like it happening so fast and I don't know how to feel about it. Part of me wants to move up there and the other feels reluctant. But when I try to think of an alternative to moving up there I cannot think of any, so in a way I feel stuck. I mean, it's not like I can do anything other than move there. and I guess I'm just nervous. as pathetic as it sounds I've never left home. Sure, for a short time I was living with Jeff part time, but that doesn't count. I'll be far from home. well, not really far, only about 2 hours away, but still. and there is nothing I dislike about this town. in fact, this town is becoming nicer and nicer everyday, I mean with all the new stores and restaurants going in. and I like those sorts of things. I mean, shopping and dressing up, looking nice every now and then. going out for coffee, going to the city, little things like that. When we live in annwfn we wont be able to just go out for a cup of coffee just for the heck of it. going to the city would take 3 hours instead of 1, and for some reason Joe feels the need to label our selfs as "hillbilly's". I hate the title. I hate everything about it. I hate what it implies. I hate how it sounds. and the most I hate the fact that Joe and Jeff feel the need to label us as that.

from dictionary.com
hill·bil·ly
–noun
1. Often Disparaging and Offensive. a person from a backwoods or other remote area, esp. from the mountains of the southern U.S.

ummm, let's see. first off; it's an offensive word according to dictionary.com. yeah, I don't normally use offensive words to describe myself. Second; while we do live in the mountains we are not so far from society that it would be considered truly remote. We are in driving distance to a town, the road is just rough and not very pleasant to drive on. Third; we're not in southern U.S. That one pretty much explains it's self.

I hate the whole labeling thing and I hate the drastic life style change as well. I'm also just terrified of moving. I guess I'm just afraid of change.
*sigh*
this is so stressful and there isn't any thing I can do about it.

oh yeah, here are photos from last weekend. only like 7 photos though....

shizu_bara! shizu_bara! shizu_bara!
so yay, I made a new layout ^_^
I was starting to get tired of the old one and plus I've had that one up for a while now. It was time for something new ^_^

and tomorrow I am off to Annwfn again. We're going to be going up there every weekend till we finish our house..... and then we'll just be up there all the time cuz we're moving when we finish. Which should be the beginning of July. So soon o_O"
We were originally going to move in August buuuuuut since Aileen has to move up there sooner we don't want her living up there all by her self, so yeah. it's not like we really have any obligations that we have to live in Petaluma for. Sure, Jeff is going to have to commute to drill again every month, but it wont be as bad as going all the way to Dublin. so yeah, why note move up sooner? woot?

though I am still kind of nervous/anxious/whatever about moving. I mean, I have never moved in my life. Sure, there was a time when I was sorta living with Jeff, but that was part time I was was still at home the other half. There have been so many 'almost' moves that it feels a little odd that I actually am moving this time. At least I hope so, we've kinda already started building o_O"

I guess not only moving is weird but getting used to a drastically different lifestyle is also a little unnerving. See here in town we have things like electricity, pluming, cable. Well up there we don't. Well, we have electricity and water, though the electricity is from solar panels and water from the spring. Not that it's bad or anything, in fact the water is very good up there and electricity is environmentally friendly. however there isn't much electricity. enough for the radio and lights, but nothing more than that. meaning no computer until I get my laptop. which (since I want a good laptop) will be a while.....
We do plan on getting satellite internet set up there, but for right now we just don't have the funds or power for it. So yeah, I'll probably end up getting a T-Mobile HotSpot account and brining my laptop to starbucks to surf the net. or maybe I could go to the library if they have wifi. I know how library has wifi so maybe the library over there dose too. maybe.....
