But why not? She'd be hurt for sure, but less if you wait. And telling her might help you get what you need, and maybe it's what she needs to? She has to move forward in life too and if you just go and it sounds like this is what you need to do, you're capable of it and she's just telling you for your entire life that you're not .. because that's how she feels about herself, but you don't have that to take on, it isn't yours. You are capable, and so is she but she'll never see it if someone doesn't show her that. You can make this so fabulous for both of you, Deneb, I think, imo.

Washington D.C. and San Francisco (if the Babble parties are going to coincide with the APA meetings of course) seems doable (assuming I would have a job by then of course). I especially want to go to San Francisco as I grew up close to there.
