Graham Goes West

It's times like these when I rue not picking the scene name "Fievel."*

Well, the title is true: A change in hemispheres is about to go down in this blogger's life. The tagline "a young American woman currently living in Eastern Europe and writing about the English Vice" will soon no longer be apt. I'm headed for my homeland, and the move will be (for the foreseeable future) permanent.

Probably. I think. We'll see.

I face my approaching repatriation with considerable ambivalence. It's time and all, and there are plenty of people I'm thrilled to be reunited with, but on the whole... Eh. I guess there are cool things about America. Snow Cones n'shit. Recycling bins, gay people, decent Mexican food, racial diversity. As far as countries go, it's a livable one.

I suppose.

However, one area of my life that the U.S. will surely improve (surely!) is kink. Because there will actually be a scene, and a community, and people, and some of those people gay, and all of those people kinky! And I can actually go to kink events and meet kinky friends and go out for decent Mexican food afterwards. So I am looking forward very much to the prospect of regular play. It is definitely time I got me some of that.

And what does all of this mean for The S Word? I'm not sure I know. As of this moment, I have no promises or predictions. I might return to regular updates, I might return to super-slow updating, I might not return to blogging at all. I haven't a clue. But I do want to sincerely thank all my readers and commenters and friends and lurkers, everyone who listened to the American Girl in Eastern Europe obsessed with the English Vice.

Oh, the end of an era!

Here's what I do know: I'm going to be out of internet range through the rest of June and all of July, and probably the better part of August, depending on circumstances. So if the S Word does return in a new Americanized incarnation, look for a Fall premiere.

And, if you're kinky, and you're in America, look for me!
