I told Dave on NYE that each time I mention going overseas I feel like a liar.  This is because up until now, what I do has never sustained the life I've always wanted: one involving travel, meeting people and adventure in the most non-twee sense of the word. 

Well, I said goodbye to J today, and unless I make this happen I won't be seeing her again anytime soon.  And I know I'll do this.  Still feels weird saying it.  But I've got 8-10 things in the pipe, and if only a few pay off I'll make it over.  There's this job, selling my stuff, ELR/PLR, the novel sale, copywriting gigs here and in Helsinki, proofreading academic papers for a professor and a few other ideas.  And books like Feed Yourself for $35 A Week, which may become my bible between now and then. 

I'm glad she was here.  We had a blast. The idea of continuing this over there, in a well-paying job and a place of my own, until the book sales kick in... brilliance. 

Also looks like 2010 is going to include Helsinki, Berlin, Leipzig, Edinburgh and New York.  Fingers crossed.  Saving at a rate of knots.
