Time for a change
by Chris on Jul.20, 2003, under General Thoughts
Well, it’s official.
In between a month and six weeks, Char and i are moving. We’re going to be packing up the life we have in this house and hauling it all (including a hissing and spitting Chitty) a short distance away to a newly-renovated home just off of 61st Avenue.
So… How many years has it been?
I’ve got a lot of memories of this house - it has borne witness to most, though not all, of the major transitions in my adult life. It was here that i lived when Amanda and I ceased being Amanda and i, it was here that i lived when i met… and when i, uh, fled that horrorous (yes, i know, not a word…) creature to whom i owe soooo much. I joined a band (in a manner of speaking), hosted parties, and all around had a good time. There are lots of memories that i have that are irrevocably tied to these walls.
Most important of those memories are the ones that are ongoing, though. First, the reason for this blog in the first place: I’m back in school. If it weren’t for that, i don’t really want to know where i’d be right now. Probably Texas, from what i can tell. It was a close shave, and one i would really rather not contemplate too closely 
The second memory, of course, is Char. Anyone who knows me, of course, knows what i mean when i say that she’s turned my life into a better place to be. Detailing this would be irrelevant. It’s such a change that it’s completely self-evident. Sometimes, apparently, good things happen to good people. Even more rarely, good things happen to me 
So, there it is. Moving day is coming. It’s gonna be pretty nice. Our new landlord is not the dead weight that the current one is. It’s going to be different, living in a house with an actual caretaker, someone that actually gives a damn about the quality of life of his tenants. Woo!
Wish us good fortune… all two of you

Who/what is Chitty?
And very cool about the move.

Chitty is the cat. She’s, uh… hateful. Let’s just say that the kitty does not appreciate the pleasures of change.
As for the move itself, hells yes. And anyone reading this, Char and i (at Char’s suggestion) are considering renting a hot tub for the housewarming. Which means some ppl will have to come down from up north and party with us, right? (pegs, Amanda, i’m looking at the two of you here…)

Hot tub? That means Peggy in a bathing suit. HA. Good one.
However, I’m there if drunken debauchery is also on the menu.

Well congrats you two. I wish you the best of luck in your new home.

Hot tub? That means Amanda in a bathing suit as well. I’m there if I can go naked, I tend to look better naked. Since my boobs are my best physical feature, nakedness takes attention away from my more unattractive parts. Peggy has nice boobs too. We should all go naked. Yay for nakedness!

Mmmm…. I can see several benefits to this, mainly the fact that – with the right invites, and since Char will obviously be in attendance – i’ll have a hot tub filled with the hottest women i’ve ever known, /naked/!
Sounds good to me

I love nudity and water, they go SO well together! And I agree with you on the boob thing, Amanda, I feel the same way.

I really don’t know if I should have read these comments, if I was to join in it would suddenly be a solo tub, all else hiding in the house.
