Nightscreeching

Imagine yourself sitting in a chair at night, enjoying an episode of one of your favorite shows, reading a good book, or talking to a friend on your computer. All is well, calm, and peaceful. You are sipping your favorite coffee while listening to your favorite tunes, snuggly in your jacket on a chilly Winter's night.

Now imagine that perfect moment of happiness being ripped from you like a band-aid from your skin.

Instead of listening to your favorite show or music, you are now hearing the sounds of some crazy teenagers revving their car's engines so loudly that your windows shake. They scream random profanities at your house. And to top it off, they are holding their car's horn down the entire length of your street.

This has been happening lately. Usually every weekend, at night, someone will rev their engines loudly while holding their horn down and screaming in the direction of my house (it could be a neighbor, but I have my reasons to believe it's me). It is startling, for such loud and obnoxious noises to appear from nowhere, and to be honest kind of frightening.

It's been a while...

It has been quite a while since my last post; several months in fact. I've been pretty busy with things lately, as you might have guessed... But I suppose I should start updating this more often, so here goes.

In March this year I took a flight to Australia again (hooray!) and have been living here in NSW since, with my fiancée. We have our own place (finally) and our prospective marriage visa application should be ready to send in by the end of this week, so that's exciting! We've got to head into Sydney to pay the $2,525 fee that it costs, and then afterwards we've got to bring our receipt back to our awesome agent E., and then he can send it in via courier.

Happy (Late) New Year!

Happy new year, everyone. The wheel keeps on turning, and so another year has gone and passed through our lives. Never again, will we live through 2009! I think that might be a good thing.

What's new for me? Well, I'm working retail again, of course, and am slowly paying off my mound of credit card debt. It's frustrating, but hopefully it will be all gone this year.

This year I am also planning on returning to the wonderful land down under. Possibly in the next few months, even. 2010 sure does promise a few exciting things for me.
