Well, it took about ten hours from St. Louis, but I've finally made it to Portland. I can honestly say that it feels a little weird. Not bad weird, but still, weird. I know I have a habit of flitting off to places I've never been before, where I don't know anybody, but this is the first time I've gone somewhere with the expecatation of staying for awhile without having any job or school and money lined up already. And I know someone already here. I haven't had a chance to really see the city yet, at least not in the daylight, but it seems good so far. It seems like the sort of city I'd have visited before and thought that it'd be a neat place to live, without actually considering living there. But now I am! And there's something about mountains and pine trees that triggers some kind of strange nostalgia I can't quite put my finger on. Anyway, now step two is to get a mobile phone, get a job, and get an apartment.

So, I know I've been neglecting TheRobots over the last couple months, and I'd like to say that I'm getting a fresh start now and will once again be posting regularly. Unfortunately, the things that have been keeping my from writing here are still there, and I've got a few new projects in the works. Including this. I know that its not the sort of thing that many of The Robots' readers would necessarily be interested in, but you might, so go check it out anyway. It has lots of potential to be a great project, but it all depends on the people who get involved and/or help support it.

As for other projects, I'll notify you as they come up, and I promise they won't all be serious nor related to the same topic as my other blog. (Like how I slipped that link in there?) I'm not saying I won't be posting here, but I can't make any promises as to the frequency. I find that blogging here sometimes gets put on my list of things to do and I feel I should keep up with it, when it reality, it should be at the bottom of my list of priorities. So, I'm making this publicly known as a way of giving myself permission to worry about everything else before I worry about this. And, since I'm no longer overseas, I feel that the benefit of journaling here just isn't the same. But I will keep you informed of interesting happenings, and I will post when I feel inspired to do so. I promise my feelings about you haven't changed, I just have to focus on me for a while.
