Just got off the phone...

... Might be moving to Japan for 1-3 years. Looks very likely. Dog is welcome to come along.

Holy crap.

More details later.

you should totally do this, sincerely seriously very much

If for no other reason than to give jingsaw and I a new excuse to take a vacation there, you two should totally make this plan happen. It sounds made of win. Since the last of our Japan-resident friends left the country we've been lamenting the lack of anyone to visit who speaks more than 10 words. I figure if we give you 6 months you'll both be fluent enough to get us into all sorts of trouble. WHERE in Japan?


But ... did you tell Dog you're thinking of bringing him to Japan? I'm sure he'll be surprised.

Hehe.

Oh, am I?

I'll pack my shit!

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Now we're losing three awesome people from the scene. This will not do at all! ;)

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!

Okay when? Like right away? In a year? Why? Holy crap!

O_O

Sweet jebus infodump!!!

I'm sad like when our mutual friends moved to Texas, but it sounds awesome too.

I mean jeez.

Just let me know this isn't for like a year right? You aren't bailing on the lease and fleeing the country in a few weeks/months. I need some time to process.

Rereading post without hysterics... Oh... 1 to 3 years.

Oh that's cool. Deep sigh of relief. No longer freaking out.

That's awesome! It sounds great!

Well, it might be longer. Depends on how it goes. We'd be headed over a year from this fall, if all goes according to plan, and bringing ze puppy.

Wow, that's big. Looking forward to more details. Either way, I'm sure you'll make a decision that's good for you.

(Unrelatedly: I once considered moving out of the country too.)

Oh, hey, look at that, I'm not logged in.

Once again, with attribution. I'm kind of curious where in Japan too!

[hazliya.livejournal.com]

Okinawa, ideally, so we can be with his family.

Wow

[maverick-weirdo.livejournal.com]

It's so crazy it. Just. Might. Work.

[darkoni]

Damn, that's kind of cool. If you do this, I expect to see posts of what living in Japan is like. Or, you could make Dog write them. He's a writer. Ah, that's probably why he's welcome to come, so that he can research his next book. :)

I definitely look forward to reading the details of what spurred this on.

[mindways]

Sounds terrifyingly awesome, and like the kind of thing where afterwards, people are nearly always gloriously happy they did it when they were younger.

[buddhagrrl.livejournal.com]

Exactly why I'm so emphatically for it.

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what they said. Really sad to lose you and Adam, but wow that sounds like it could be exciting and different! zapf spent some time living there if you want to ask him about what the gaijin experience is like.

Would Adam be coming back in the interim or would you just fly out to join him? I've been postponing my storytelling party and Diamond Geezers for him, if the latter, lemme know when/if anything's certain.

Whatever happens, best of luck!

[hazliya.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't happen until next year at the earliest, right around the start of the 2011 school year, so we've got time. =)
