Today, for the first time since July, I have a room that I live in.
I have a permanent address.
I have shelves I can put my books on and leave them there.
I have a wardrobe I can hang my things in.
I have a desk I can spread out my stuff on.
For the first time since July I have completely unpacked my rucksack and put it away.
I've got a bit of space that I have a right to.
It's weird. It's good.

What a strange six months it's been.

The question next, I guess, is whether you feel the first probing tendrils of your roots sinking into the place. Or indeed whether you want them to.

Still, as you say, good to have somewhere to put all the bits of your life at the same time, and start composting the experiences into something fruitful...

The question is whether these six months fade and become some dreamlike time that, one day, you can't quite believe you ever did and gloss over in your conversations with suburban educational administrators.

...Or whether the restless, moving, creative person lives on, always seeing things for the first time.

Excellent :-)

When can I visit?

[gothwalk.livejournal.com]

Address, bitte. And details on your December/January travel plans. And information hunter-gathererererers.

Could I please have your new address too? (I'm trying to make my address book reflect reality to at least a vague extent...)

Please send me your address also - happy to hear you like the compilation - I have a few more songs you might find interesting...

Oy vey! Address please, I want to send you a Christmas card. And indeed, to visit and catch up with you, but one thing at a time.

Congratulations. Yay new-roomness!

I would still like to meet up for coffee and a chat sometime...

Hello. Are you living in Oxford? I like Oxford a lot.
