You will be missed! I won't forget your uncanny ability to instantaneously belt out theme songs from 80's and 90's TV sitcoms and cartoons, or your amazing Karaoke skillz... wait a minute! Are you going to LA to compete on the next American Idol?! =P</p> <p>Good luck and keep in touch! (For serious yo.)</p> Chris!

Don’t be a stranger and the next time I’m in SoCal, I’ll look you up.

I have to say I had a very similar experience living in Portland in that some of it was hard as hell at the time, but in the end all I could feel was thankfulness and growth. The cool part is you get to take that growth and the lessons youve learned (hard or easy as theyve been) with you to be used in new and exciting adventures- this time in warmer climes!</p> <p>Feel free to spend a night or two at our place in SF on your way down south. If I dont see you then, best of luck in your new town. <3</p> Id say i was sad to see you go but a) I left first (nya) and b) you’ll actually be closer to me now!
