Weird-Ass Synchronicities

So, this is going to be a short entry. But basically, growing up in Orlando killed my sense that I would ever have a real community. Recently my friend Rissa found a website, rewild.info, and I’ve been looking at the forums, and some people’s blogs, and some of the things said, and a lot of the use of language, I really never expected to see outside of my own brain or conversations with Rissa. Hopefully this means I’m under exposed to the communities I really want to find and not that it’s truly this rare to find, but I imagine it’s somewhere in between. Of course just about everyone on those forums has skills I’ve only fantasized about even reading in depth about, much less really learning.

Fortunately, there’s a lot of “rewilding” in Portland, where I’ll be going to school in the fall. Hell fuckin’ yes. I really want to learn to do things rather than spew about them, and I think, if there is any city where I can do that (as opposed to the middle of the woods where I’d rather be), that city is Portland.
