Purple is the new black
by Ranil on Oct.10, 2008
Tomorrow is the deadline for my bet with Ian to have dropped almost 30 pounds to my current weight. I believe I’m there but I can’t be quite sure, not having weighed myself in the last few days. It’s exciting to think that it’s been almost 4 months and in many ways I’m a different person. I’m more of the person I needed to be a long time ago but couldn’t bring myself to be.
With that in mind I think my mind is made up. In the first quarter of 2009 my hope is to move to Australia. Doing so means a chance I won’t be back. As much as I love LA, I think there are too many memories here and I need a chance to explore something new. I have a few friends who’ve taken the step to no longer be an LAist and in following their footsteps I find myself a strange mix of scared and excited.
So my life story will change a bit. I’ll be an Australian who lived in America and came back. We all wonder where our futures will take us. Will it be fraught with peril and hardship or will we still find ourselves charmed? In any case, let’s all meet up in the year 2000 won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown?
