Wish me luck! I'm flying to LA!→[More:]All my stuff is packed away or sold or trucked to my parents' house. I sold my car yesterday (which makes me very sad, because it was a lovely car). I have one box to ship to my new address.

I'm dead worried that the Los Angeles fashion police won't let Boston-me deplane, or they'll immediately whisk me away to be waxed and tweezed and fed nothing but grapes and celery until I meet standards. I'm going to be meeting a ton of new people, which both scares and excites me (cause I'm kind of rubbish at meeting new people). I'll be working part-time for my old company, which means I still have a paycheck, which is very very good.

My face is a mess of pimples from all the stress. Somebody tell me it'll be okay?

It'll be more than OK - it'll be great! Good luck, Fuzzbean!

I think they check to see if you have a Brazilian before they let you off the plane. Have a great time!

I'd like to tell you it will be okay.

Really I would.

But as someone who's going through some changes as well (though not as radical as yours), all I can say is:

It will probably be okay. Eventually.

I just moved to Los Angeles from Boston too. I grew up here. I hope you love Los Angeles, because it's a very loveable, bizarre, strange, sunny town. Have fun; you'll kick LAAss.

Go get 'em, Fuzzbean! Most regrets in life come from the things you don't do. One way or the other, the move will be a good thing!

Patches of dry skin have erupted on my face (it must be morgellons of course) but I bet they adjust in a week or so, as will the immediate coastal adjustments.
Your lack of superpolish will make you a star, picked out from the masses to star in the next big indie film hit, since the dry air will kill off your pimples and you will be forced to shed your toxins by the general health freakiness and easy access to wheatgrass and healthy foods.

No matter what, i will suck up all the extra bad karma for a while so it will be fine. really.
