What?

Look here.

This is a very good photo of me not answering emails.

I will try to keep along the general themes pertaining to: life outside of where one first found oneself living. This is not limited to geography. But since I still occupy some identities with vague consistency (e.g. gender, given names, lover-of-scary-movies, a high tolerance for sugary things), there may be a few guest posts by others living in exciting new worlds.

For some low-hanging fruit, early posts will probably be about place. I’ve switched homes from South Africa to Norway, but also changed careers, marital status, social class (sort of), parenting arrangements, social interests, friend groups, languages, mental health strategies, and hobbies along the way. Basically, I’ve moved, and it fucked with the flow of things.

And I love it all.

You can e-mail me at kingterryjo@gmail.com, but I currently have 13735 unread emails, so…

I don’t know you. I’ve been told that I am annoyingly likely to want to know you if we met in person. So I hope we never meet, because I’m very tired. In this blog you will meet some of the interesting people I encounter, see how I trial and errored my way into a pretty good life situation (according to me at least), and hopefully have a good laugh at my expense.
