fic therapy

In three weeks I leave Japan, moving back to the States. Coming back from Vietnam a couple weeks ago it really hit me, that it was our last time flying back into Kansai International, at least for a while.

[livejournal.com profile] gnine and I have been sharing this apartment in Kyoto for over three years. I'm going to miss it. I'm going to miss Japan. I don't know yet what I'm doing in America, but I've got a pretty stable set-up, so I'm not too worried about that. But I don't deal well with change, as a rule, and moving...it's a big change.

Not to mention I have three years of accumulated junk to sort through. Ah, the joys of packing!

So instead of dwelling on that...or getting down to the sorting...I'm writing Gnine ridiculous MUNCLE h/c. And go here for a very silly drabble, concerning Napoleon's particular expression on those occasions when Illya gets the Innocent.

(Also a lovely person recced my lone NCIS fic on [livejournal.com profile] crack_van, which means I've been getting new comments on it all day. This has made me unreasonably happy, as recs and comments always do. My ego-monster, she is (briefly) satiated...)

Dude, three weeks? I never realised! :(

I go home in three months (with only nine months behind me to accumulate stuff!) and I'm already starting to freak a bit about sending stuff home to Aus. I'm a terrible packer and even worse procrastinator, which is why I've started to think about it already -- I need to plan this far ahead ;)

Do you know about the special price for sending printed matter -- books, notebooks, even some CDs/DVDs, etc? Take it to the Post Office in clear plastic bags (so they can see it's not printed matter, not clothes, etc) and then box it up -- they charge you by the size of the package, not the weight.

I know - time flies, frightening fast!! Being an impressive procrastinator myself, I really should've been planning for a while now...instead of actually *planning* I've just been dreading it for a month or two now, which, er, isn't very productive...

Because there're two of us (both with manga and dj to spare) we're planning to buy a cubic meter of seamail shipping, which isn't weight-dependent...but the post office might be a last ditch resort for some things, thanks for letting me know about the clear plastic! ^^
