Not leaving, but with Ki's coming absence/retirement I feel pretty sentimental about the place and the friends I've made here.

Hopefully I'll meet you someday during one of my ill-advised spontaneous trips. (East coast is likely next on the list.)

I REQUIRE suffocating amounts of trees and natural beauty. Just need to visit a handful of places first. I am open to suggestions. I'm leaning toward South Carolina and North Carolina based on what people have told me. I'm sure northern CA is nice too in terms of my natural beauty requirements but it's far too expensive I'm guessing. I wish my aunt weren't moving away from Raleigh to Chicago; could have stayed with her for a while if I decided on NC.
