Obligatory Hello Post

Hi there, everyone! I hope you've been enjoying our random videos of silliness and sometimes drama. Anyway, we're hitting the road again soon, so this might become a traveling blog. Here's what's been going on:

JANUARY
Loki left for Slab City.

FEBRUARY
I joined Loki in Slab City. It was okay at first, but then the horse flies started pestering me, there was some drama with our neighbours, and we ended up having to leave with. like, 25% of the cargo we'd originally come with. I don't remember exactly when we left, but I do recall that spanging in El Centro and Brawley was pretty lucrative. Brawley's so cute, it's like, they take themselves so seriously as a city. Kind of like the Extreme So Cal version of Milpitas. We didn't get on too well with the storefront managers and cops there, though; the people are very generous, but the storefront managers are stuffy and the cops are overly-authoritative butts. We wound up banhammered from a particular area for a year and some heat came down on the rest of the Slabbers, even though a lot of the actual damage done is done by townies, not campers.

So after a while, we left the Slabs and came back up to San Jose. We set up camp by the Guadalupe River Park, which was nice for a while, but then there were some raids, and so we left to go to a camp by San Felipe... which also got raided. All the camps in San Jose are getting raided and police in San Francisco are cracking down on campers, too, so we're thinking of hitting the road and just leaving for a while until winter when things cool down.

We did get married in MARCH, as a pagan ritual. Commonlaw, because we don't like dealing with paperwork and bureaucratic BS. Loki applied to college in MAY, I think, but there's some BS going on with that as well. They misclassified him as a non-resident even though he's lived here for over a year. He had a birthday in JUNE, so he's now my adorable 19-year-old husband <3

JULY
This is when the raids started getting heavy and now there's no safe place that we can find for campers to go. Loki is going to San Francisco to deal with the ticket he got from their cops for camping, and in the meantime, I get to prepare my part of my father's apartment and make it look all nice before we pack up and leave for a few months.

To be entirely honest, there are some job leads that I have that I'll be flaking out on, but since I don't have an actual job yet and there don't seem to be any short-term gigs where we can just quickly raise money, I'm going with my husband. I really hate being separated from him for long periods of time, so I'm going with him, even if it makes me seem flaky and irresponsible.

The thing is, I only seem flaky and irresponsible by corpgov wage slave standards. By my standards, I'm being a good and devoted wife. Either way, I've got pretty extreme separation anxiety (probably a holdover from things with Frey), so there's no way I can focus on any kind of work while he's off travelling with a party.
