Happy Fourth of July everyone. The Fourth of July is a great day, isnt it? It's about backyard barbeques and fireworks and red, white and blue. It's about Americanism, without all the cynicism and criticism. I have this fond memory of when I was working at McDonald's on the Fourth... as the fireworks were going on, the manager let me and another girl sit on top of the roof to watch the fireworks through those famous golden arches. Anyway, the Fourth is always a happy day, of kicked back people in star-spangled t-shirts that always brings up happy thoughts of one's good times in childhood. So, in this aura of positvity, I am going to be über-dramatic in the hopes that people will understand the typically American thing that I'm going to do in about 40 days:
Right after Sept 11, I sent in my application for the Peace Corps and after jumping through about a dozen hoops, I have been accepted as an invitee. This means that in the middle of August, I'm going to be going to a foreign country to teach English. Let's just say this country ends in "stan" and leave it at that. Anyone that wants to know the real destination can email me. :) In any event, I'm leaving for what I hope is two years and three months.
Obviously there are some loose ends, especially when it comes to the Internet. There is a 60/40 chance that I will have the internet in this country, and that's a good, because I would like to continue blogging and emailing the wonderful people I have met and become friends with. On the other hand, I may not (I think I will though..). Regardless, there is something that this country has a 99.99% chance of not having: Buffy. Naturally, this will kill me come October when the new season starts because not only will I miss the show that has meant so much to me for 6 years, but it also means that I cannot update my site if I have no information on the shows. Now, I will update my site right up until I leave, but after that, I have no idea what will happen. But rather go quietly into the night, I was wondering if any webmasters who have a steady site that they will continue to maintain would like an addition? If anything struck them as super-cool and they wanted to add it so that a piece of me could stay in the community? In any event, my site will remain up, although un-updated except for the spellbook and tarot sections which I am taking down. If a webmaster that I feel is stable would like a section, then please email me at seprah@hotmail.com so we can work something out. I am especially concerned with my club, Faith in Joss, and would like that taken care of most of all.
Anyway, I have loved being a part of this community and the web. As much as it pains me to leave it, I know that for right now the Peace Corps is the the most important thing I can do. I'm not dead yet though and I'll still keep annoying everyone with my prattle until the time comes... with the hope that the time will never totally come.
