My life for the next year

I just got a letter offering me conditional acceptance into the Americorps *NCCC 2007 program.

Barring any undisclosed criminal records or medical/mental health conflicts, I'll be going to Denver, Colorado on January 30th.

HELL YEAH BABY.




...Damn, I have a lot of fanfic to finish in the next two and a half months. And oh my god, I mod like 5 communities (poorly). Frell, that's going to be irksome and sad to let go.

But hey.... AMERICORPS, BABY.



The only downsides to this are that I won't be able to use my brand new car for the first 4 months because of snow, and the fact that I'll probably miss all of the third and final season of Avatar. WEEP WITH ME. But sacrifices must be made to achieve my goals of spending a year living on less than minimum wage helping my fellow Americans. I shall endeavor to think of it as my cold turkey attempt at curing myself of my computer. Possibly I'll write my great American novel while I'm there, too.

The pet rat will have to be a 2008 project. YAY!

Thanks.

You know, that second part was supposed to be -1 text size, not +1, but now I'm kind of liking it that size...

Congratulations!

(They DO have computers in Denver, you know. And a kickass bookstore.)

Very, very impressive. If you do write your great american novel (and if 'great' means 'will be published in the UK') then I will put it on my List Of Things To Read Before I Die.

I am also please because, if this gives you and incentive to write more, it's all the better for us.

OH WOW!! That's great, but we shall all miss you!!

Wow! That looks prestigious. Congrats, congrats!!

But this means no more Shaka for an entire year? ;_; The cause is excellent, though, so The Internets is willing to let you go. For now.

I shall endeavor to think of it as my cold turkey attempt at curing myself of my computer.

... masochist.

Whooo! Congradulations!

(And just think of the Avatar as it building up. Heck, with the release schedule as haywire as it is, it might still be releasing new episodes when you come back anyway!)

(Since I'd be coming back in November... that sadly seems like it might be true. Of course, I won't be completely cut off from tv, just will go long periods without it.)

That's awesome. I really admire that sort of project, and I think it's really cool that you're going to do that. Congratulations on getting in!

You will be sorely missed, and fondly remembered.

Is there anything you want written? Anything at all? I feel like I should write you a goodbye present, and anything I would write for you would take a very long time, so please, anything you want, just let me know. ^_^

I want you to watch season three and at night psychically download the episodes INTO MY BRAIN.

hm...you'll have to get a chip for that. and from what I've seen, chips don't work too well.
