Why hello there blog! Apologies once again for the long hiatus, it's been a busy month (and a half) for me. Perhaps this blog will be more of an update than an attempt at decent writing and then if I can start posting regularly I'll do more interesting stories, topics of discussion etc.
Anyhow--February was the usual roller coaster. I gave myself until the end of the month (thank you leap year) to figure out a set of things. Although I think I did pretty well over all, and came in just under the wire on a few clutch decisions, life has somehow figured out a way to dribble over into March. So, although I'd like to report that I've got it all figured out and all my shit is together, well...that might take until the middle of next week.
Here's what I've got so far-
1. I quit my job. Sort of. I'll be leaving the ol' movement at the end of May. Luckily it doesn't actually take any sort of acknowledgment or response from one's boss in order to officially quit. Otherwise it would just be my little one hand clapping or solo tree falling into the forest into eternity here in NYC and they would keep paying me. (that last part would be okay I guess)
2. I'm spending a good part of the summer in Ghana (maybe all of it!). At least I'm about 90% sure it will be Ghana. (In case you are wondering and don't have a map handy, Ghana is in West Africa, at the bottom of that chunk that sticks out on the top left part of the continent. It's on the coast and supposedly the people are really nice despite not having much water or healthcare) It could also be Ecuador or it could be Ghana AND Ecuador. Either way it will be a blast and don't worry, I'll get all my vaccinations. And I promise to bring you all back cool shit with vaguely racist or patronizing overtones like carved african masks or voodoo dolls and you can pretend to be grateful but will be slightly too embarrassed to display them in your home.
3. I'm staying in my apartment next year. I heart bed-stuy and I heart the idea of living in the same place for more than 12 months, something I haven't done since high school. I'm pretty sure eloise hearts the idea too, as much as she has loved all of her road/plane trips and foster parents. Anyway, what this really means is: More Visitors Please. You shall come and we shall stoop sit and drink cold beer in the sunshine and chat with PJ about his jeweleries and it shall be glorious.
4. Hmm. I might not have a 4. Or maybe I do and it rules but I'm just keeping it a secret. You'll have to come see me to find out.
Okay Drew, happy now? You better comment on this sucker.

Ok, first of all serious congratulations on the Feb plan. I don't think any of your readers could take a month to figure their shit out, and be nearly as successful as you. AND the things up in the air are really exciting.
I will say, on the quitting the job thing, that we'll all miss you. BUT I'd be interested in hearing a little more about the WHYS of your decision, assuming they're fit for public consumption.
Cheers. Bed Stuy Do or Fry!
your blogs are always so delightful.
thanks for obliging, ms. bergemann. happy spring.
