[RL] HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHELLO FRIENDS! Sorry to folks I’ve gone radio silent on, it’s been an insane few weeks. I am MOVING! I have officially moved out of LA and am in the process of driving cross country with my mom, my stepdad, and my two kitties. It’s been nuts, laughs
(Stepdad meaning Randy for those of you who will recognize his name. It’s just easier to call him that now even though he and mom aren’t married and don’t plan to be)
Anyway it’s pretty wild going cross country in an RV with two cats who would rather be literally anywhere else, it’s been meow meow city for days
but they’re doing okay. My sweet girls 
lmaooo
lmaooo
They’re slowly calming down so I think they’re getting used to it, thankfully..,
It’s surreal to be leaving LA after nine years. It’s the longest I’ve lived anywhere except for where I grew up. It feels very bittersweet.
I kind of want to come back once I’m able, but I can really go anywhere... I’ve been thinking of Nashville or Austin, or staying in NYC
What I WANT to do is move to Seattle but it’s just as expensive as LA if not more than, and I’d have to have a really well-paying job locked in if I wanted to move there
So much to consider... we’ll see how things go. I hate being uncertain of my future or things being in limbo, I literally have no idea what my future looks like right now, it’s frustrating -- but we’ll get there. One step at a time
c'mere I'll take you
IT'S PIP

i don't blame you tbh, the weather has been crazy here
my stepdad is dying to go to dallas and his son is moving to nashville actually laughs so we have good reason so be passing through these places... fingers crossed
IT REALLY HAS BEEN
I guess I slept through it today but mom showed me pictures of a huge storm we barely outran and you can SEE the sheets of ran and there were tornado warnings
*rain .... I lost my plurk coin oh no
coming from socal it’s very weird to see lightning 
it's been v stormy in austin lately
LIKE, COOL, BUT WEIRD
like, oh, it rains elsewhere in the country that isn’t Southern California, I remember that now
my cat, who is terrified of thunder, has been very unhappy with it
Yeah the whole southern US seems to be having very crazy weather
which when you’re driving a big RV is kinda 
not the most ideal circumstance ... we may try to wait the storming out for a day
not the most ideal circumstance ... we may try to wait the storming out for a day
same re: vacc hell yeah 
aurion: god the RV has been MEOW MEOW CITY like the cats already don’t love driving but thunder on top of it is like
cries laughing they don’t love it that’s for sure
some more travel meow meows
BABIES
ghosthotel: FUCKIN NICE
aurion: like they’re honestly doing shockingly well .. I think it helps we’ve been staying in a few pet-friendly hotels so they get some space to stretch out, especially Ashey who refuses to leave her crate when we’re in the RV
Cora on the other hand has been a total nightmare but who would have it any other way 
like she’s improving slowly but she somehow keeps finding new places in the RV to shove her entire body and hide and we have to tear the entire thing apart to find her ensconced in some physically impossible corner
once I get her on my lap she usually calms down and goes to sleep which is super cute
I'm surprised they're doing that well! cats and cars are just. /gestures
RIGHT?
I suppose it’s because they CAN walk around and they’re not solely confined to crates
(even though once again ashe elects to never leave hers despite having the option to do so)
Cora meow meows but once she’s on someone’s lap and/or can watch out the window she calms right down and just loafs in apparent contentment
she literally took a nap with me today it was the best
children...., weeps
Ashe is always quiet and never causes trouble, though once she slinked (slunk?) out of her crate and crawled into the front into my mom’s lap which was ... shocking! mom wrapped her up in a sweater like a big sad burrito and she stayed there for like three hours
eventually she gave me the big sad burrito and the burrito just went to sleep in my lap instead.... my ashey 
No repeat performances since... cats are weird
crate cat
ghosthotel: I know 
my stupid babies aaaaaaaaaaaa
my stupid babies aaaaaaaaaaaa
cjnsnf big sad burrito oh no
Your cats are just. So cute. ALSO. IF YOU COME THROUGH SHREVEPORT. HMU!!!
As you probably recall there’s not a lot to do here but I would love to see ur face and meet ur cats
