OMG, I love Scotland. If the deal I'm considering in the Philippines wasn't so good (like, really? won't cost me money, my living expenses mostly paid for, and what money I do have spends a lot farther) there'd be more countries on the list: Scotland, Ireland, Northern England, Italy...

I have no idea how I'll handle the tropical weather; I'm more concerned about strange new and frightening insects (PLEASE NO ONE SEND ME JPEGS/HORROR STORIES).

One concern I do have id the regular availability of the interwebz because I really do love my online friends and my SPN fandom. But I also like the idea of starting over (scary as it may be) and giving my self time and a situation that will allow me to write more and more often.

When I look back on things like Watergate and the 70's energy crisis and the evacuation of Michigan (where I grew up and a popular bumpersticker in the late 70s/early 80s was 'last one out of Michigan, turn off the lights) and Reagan declaring ketchup a vegetable, etc...is it just the gossamer blur of melancholy, or did the country still seem more...united through all that? I just feel like the rift between the haves and the have nots has grown so tremendously cavernous and wide there's little hope of it being mended.

WHY?
