I seem to be an inadvertently mysterious bird. It's my fault of course; I don't tend to write too many journals about my personal life. I guess I assume most people who are interested in that follow me on Twitter—and even then the details are implied. To complicate matters further, I've done a lot of traveling and moving around for the past few years. I thought I'd write this to clear a few things up, about where I'm from, where I'm going, and why.

1. I'm originally from Pennsylvania. Cardinals are also native to PA, so that's where Pulsar comes from, too.

2. I've lived in England for two and a half years, from 2012 to 2015. I wish I could've lived there longer, but the circumstances didn't quite work out. Still, it was a pretty great experience and I'm glad I did. I'm not from England though, I'm American.

3. I recently (June 2015) moved back to PA from England—but I'm not staying here! I only stopped off here because it's where most of my family is, so it makes it easy to transition back here from abroad.

4. While I still pretty much have all my possessions packed up, I'm going to continue moving, this time in the opposite direction across the US to Portland, Oregon.

5. In my professional career, I'm a multimedia producer, specializing in motion graphics. I don't have a job waiting for me though. I'm in the process of setting up my own company to do professional media work, marketing and advertising.

I'm planning on leaving on a road trip on Friday, July 31st to drive from PA to OR. It'll take me about ten days to get there. I'm going to take my time, visit friends along the way and see some more of the US. Once I get there, I'll probably hang around for a while—at least a year, I imagine. But really, who knows. For the past decade of my life, I haven't stayed in one place for longer than one or two years. That's probably why I'm so hard to keep track of.

Anyway, it's another new chapter in my life, and I'm looking forward to getting it started. :>
