"The wind of change is blowing through this continent."

It's been a while since I last updated. Life has been turning itself inside out, and change has come at me from all directions:

• I turned 30 recently. This doesn't yet feel any different from 29, or even 25, or even 21, for the most part. But then again, I live in my skin every day, and so the changes are so small to me as to be imperceptible. Still, because of this, it doesn't strike me as a big change.


• In a few weeks I will no longer be a member of None Of The Above, the A Cappella ensemble I've been with for three years. This was a bit sudden to me, and emotionally, it feels like a breakup. It wasn't my choice, but I'm coming to accept the decision, and it has freed me up to take some ballroom dance lessons, so it's not all bad.


• The biggest change is that as of October 1st, I'll be working at Regis College. After 7+ years without much growth, I'm stepping out of the comfort zone and into a new role. I'll be their new Instructional Technologist, which is sufficiently different from m past experience that I'm sure it'll be a struggle at first. It's also a small cut in pay, which is going to make things exceedingly squinchy for me for a time, but he opportunity for growth and future advancement outweighs the downsides. this is the change that has me the most nervous, although it doesn't hurt as much as I thought it might. Yet.

Very few people knew I had a resume in for this. I've been playing it pretty close to my chest.

Good luck from me as well!

(Now who will we go to as our staff liason for LARPing? If natbudin ever leaves, we're screwed. ;) )

Actually, I'm not staff. :)

And I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I like organizing LARPs at Brandeis and want to continue doing so, but Life Reasons might force me to leave the area at some point. So I'd like, ideally, to get some other people involved in this whole LARP Conspiracy thing, and make it more organized, so that it could continue happening without my involvement (although hopefully, we won't have to worry about that).

I'd say "are you volunteering?" but I know that you're going to be spending a year in Europe, so I'm guessing not. :)
