My bay area daydreams or visions or something

[serene]

• Because I will need to be warm, and because wearing socks and pants are things I prefer not to do (*strongly* in the former case, less strongly in the latter), I see me in skirts and tights and a really warm coat or duster or something. Already bought gloves.
  
  
• I see us in walking distance from good, fresh produce; an independent bookstore; a video store, likewise independent; some cute shops; the BART; someplace where I can take cool classes (pottery? yoga? C++?).
  
  
• I see myself deciding on a whim to see a movie and having stonebender to see it with.
  
  
• Likewise Buffy. Likewise Alias. Likewise Six Feet Under. Likewise The West Wing. Likewise Firefly. &c.
  
  
• I see a weekly in-person date with stonebender instead of a weekly phone date.
  
  
• I see being able to see sogwife every week instead of every couple-to-few months.
  
  
• I see spending significant time every day on my writing.
  
  
• I see my car lasting a lot longer because there's actual public transportation in the Bay Area.
  
  
• I see (and this is just a hunch) me feeling like I'm finally in the town I should've been born in; finally home, among my chosen family and friends, and in the best place to grow and bloom for the next lovely stage of this wonderful, rich life I have.
  

Three weeks. The nervousness comes and goes, but the peace and joy are settling in. someotherguy is a large part of the reason for that. If I didn't already have the name "serene", I would have to bestow it on him. I have never met a calmer human being in my life. (Even when he's stressed and nervous, he's mellow. He's really a perfect companion for me in that way. Of course, my other sweeties are perfect companions for me, too, but in different ways.)

I see (and this is just a hunch) me feeling like I'm finally in the town I should've been born in; finally home, among my chosen family and friends, and in the best place to grow and bloom for the next lovely stage of this wonderful, rich life I have.

That's exactly how I feel about life here. Plus there will be random meetings with friends at the grocery store or in the mall, and planned dinners or parties with ditto (like the one last night where I got to meet stonebender.

We talked about you. Everyone said you're beautiful, unique, and truly serene. I'm eager to meet you.
