and jump off really tall things into water.
Also,
I feel compelled to keep moving north after labor day. I found this nationally renowned writer's workshop in Portland and Justin has invited me to come live with him and his girlfriend for free while I am taking the class.
Two days ago a woman named Basha (a friend of Ruth, the woman I am staying with) called me to ask if I would come live at her farm in Marin and take care of her goats, chickens, cats, koi fish, and parrots for two months. I would have my own bedroom and bathroom, and would not have to pay rent. Two weeks ago, an artist friend of Lauri's who lives in Sebastopol asked if I wanted to come work for him and sublet a place nearby for 300$ a month. Neither place is North.
When I told my new friend Mark about the opportunity he was terribly upset that I would even consider working for another artist rather than pursuing my own art and writing. I was flattered, but it is not making my decision any easier; I am kind of terrified of being in a position where I am able, and even expected to work on my own art.
I have to tell Basha tomorrow whether I will be housesitting or moving North after labor day.
