3:25 am - Autumn Missed
|
There is a smell I associate with Ohio in November/October - and I miss that smell, especially at this time of the year in Australia when the weather is getting warmer and the sun gets stronger. It's the smell of autumn, the leaves falling and that sweet smell that passes throughout the air. The way the harvest air feels and the cooling nights and the way the sun does its best to keep the days warm - the dying days of the summer fading into the cold days of winter. That season, that feeling. Hot apple cider on sale in the grocery stores, bright orange pumpkins being advertised along with indian corn and fall colours. Reds and oranges and browns and golds... the way the trees lose their leaves, the brilliant scheme of colours they turn before hibernation, the bite of the air in the mornings and evenings... I miss it all.

3:23 am - Irregular Update
|
I break these dry spells all the time by first vowing "I'll write in my live journal more!" and the fact of the matter is I write once or twice and then I stop. Significant things happen in my life and I let them fly by without a comment and toss them in as an afterthought almost the next time I post. See when I got married... geez. My friend Scott found out about it months later >.< I'm horrible about news.
I think it's partially because I have a huge receptical for news and thoughts in my husband. My favourite moments are when we're in bed and we just chat about nonsense and anything. It happens rarely now, because I go to bed a bit earlier than he does on account of having to work earlier, but when it does I feel the most at peace with everything.
Well, except when I'm in his arms at night and he's holding me. :)
That being said, I guess I better start the updates aye? :p
I was granted temporary residency to Australia in April of this past year - I moved in May. I've been in Australia since then, and it's been different from the previous times... I think because this time it's permanent, and I'm not going home in November. I was pretty homesick at first, truth be told. My grandmother was dying of cancer (Goddess rest her soul) when I had to leave - she was barely able to function then and she hung on at least for another month before moving on to the Summerlands. That was pretty hard for me - I wanted to be there with my family but I couldn't - I had to enter the country by May 13th and I didn't have the money to fly back. I was sad for a while about her passing, but I don't think I've achieved any closure to it. It's one thing to feel the sorrow and to share in it, but I wasn't there, and it still seems surreal to me a fair bit that my grandmother is gone. She's been apart of my life since I was a baby, and it's just really really hard to fathom the fact that she's gone.
I went through a bad period of depression missing the states and my family also over the summer/winter months. (Summer states, winter Australia). A huge part of me still wants to really move back to the states. It's always going to be home to me, no matter what I say or do. I can live here, and I can adjust but I'll always be an American Girl, and I'll always consider the USA home. Always. Matt is where my heart is, but my head.... yeah.
My in-laws have been really good about helping me to adjust, they've welcomed me with open arms and an open home. I feel very fortunate to have a good set of in-laws - one of my favourite times of the week is when I go to their house on Sundays for lunch - it's calming, relaxing, and good times all around.
I have a job now :) It's working for a freight fowarding company... ironic that I'm in the same Industry as Matt but not at the same company he's with. It was the 2nd job that I interviewed for, and I nailed it. I'm an accounts clerk/receptionist. I enjoy the company a lot, they've been super friendly and really helpful, and they're good for laughs. We had a 'golf day' outing a few weeks back and I went that night and got totally smashed - parts of the night are missing, I passed out in the restroom of the Vines (the club where it was held... think upscale golf country club, not bar-club) and Matt had to come rescue me. My knight in shining armour - I hope I never have to have him come rescue me like that ever again. And I'm never drinking that much wine in that short a span ever ever again! :)
I've been married a year now. Married.. seems so unreal. Our anniversary was nice, went out to dinner... I wrote Matt a quick and dirty poem on a napkin from the restaurant. I hope he still has it! :P My birthday went well, and Halloween was fun. I dressed gothic for the day, got lotsa weird looks - totally worth it. --AND-- I looked ok doing it :P Good times all around.
Life is moving, changing, and I'm settling in here the best I can. That's all one can really ask for I suppose. I'm not unhappy, in fact I'd be hard pressed to say I'm not happy at all. I just miss the states a fair bit :(
Oh well... c'est la vie. Everyone grows up and flys the nest sometime :P

7:24 pm - Really. Bad. Day.
|
I just need a place to rant, I've had a horrible horrible day. It started out good with a negative pregnancy test (so being preggers isn't what's making me sick! :D) and my day was going well. Took a shower, started to get ready for work. Went to get dressed, my shirt was wrinkly, and that's unprofessional. No worries, changed outfits. Got my makeup on, got ready for work, got my lunch and everything together and made my hot tea for the day. (I like earl grey tea.) Well a can of dog food (unopened) fell into the water dish for our dog and cats and splashed water all over our kitchen :( I put some towels down and made my way to work.
So I"m trying to get out the back door and there's a bunch of dog poo on the steps. I"m trying to avoid the dog poo (My stepfather needs to clean it up ><) and I nearly break my freakin' neck trying to get off the steps. Finally, I avoided all the poo, and avoided hurting myself and I get to our garage. The door was blown shut by the wind, so I'm trying to open it, and I nearly break my neck trying to open the door - it flew open last minute on me and I fell inwards over the door stop thingie and tripped. I get to the car, and realized I forgot my glasses... I need them to drive. So I barely make it back in, get my glasses on and start heading down the alley towards the expressway so I can head to work.
I realize it's bright out. So I pause in the alley, no one was behind me and I exchanged my prescription glasses for my prescription sunglasses. Everything is heaps better now! I start off again, making sure to watch my travel mug of earl grey tea, as it's in a precarious position and the car doesn't have proper cup holders.
I start to turn out of the alley and my tea begins to spill. Grabbing the tea, I feel a huge impact as I rear-end this guy's parked lincoln continental as I'm trying to turn and keep the tea from spilling all over me. FFS. I sit there stunned a moment, white noise in the background as the impact forced the tape in the tape player to go all the way in and start playing. I eject it, and get out of the car - by this time the guy is coming out, laughing at the incident.
I stare in horror at what was before me.
A perfectly unscratched, undented Lincoln Continental. My mom's cavalier however had the front passenger side light thingie popped out a bit, a dent in the side, and the impact [i]made the tire go flat.[/i]
I"m cursing and near tears as I can't make it to work this way, but luckily I'm near the house. The guy was nice about it, said to give him 20$ and he'd forget the incident happened. It was my last 20$, but - not much else I can do about that right? So anyways, I limp the car back home and call my boss. She asked if I was ok, my neck was starting to hurt a bit but other than that I'm physically ok. Mentally, I'm a wreck.
So then I call my mom.
Me: "Mom, you'll need to see if you can get a ride home from work, I was just in a car accident and the car tire is flat..."
Mom: "I can't get a ride home, I have to pick up your stepfather."
At this point, I kinda lost it. Instead of listening to what I had to say, she starts going off on another tangent. So I yelled and screamed at her for a bit, cursed her out over the phone and she hung up on me. Fair enough, I did apologize to her for it later. Then I call my stepfather to tell him the situation, and she's calling him and it's just one hell of a mess.
My stepfather had to come home early from work (and his boss might write him up for it! I feel doubly horrible about this! and it doesn't seem right somehow. I mean, a family emergency, my stepfather never leaves work early and never calls off sick >< ) and they come home. My mom told me over the phone to keep a heating pad on my neck which has a strained muscle in the left side. (And the muscle relaxer she gave me is starting to wear off ffs).
So they get home and we go out to fix the tire and get dinner and on the ride home after the tire had been aired up it's making whistling noises... and turns out that not only did the tire go FLAT from my stupidity, but I also bent the fucking axel.
Someone shoot me now.
So I have a hurt neck, our car is broke (gg me! ><), I need to try and buy a new car next paycheck even if it's some 500$ deathtrap so that we have a functioning car, my stepfather might get written up from work, and I've just had one of the shittiest days -ever-.
/sigh.
Taking donations for cheap computer parts to fix my computer because my money is going to buy a new -car- instead of a new computer. Heh.

12:09 am - Reflecting back...
|
So I ran into one of my old 'poetry' books, for lack of a better term, and I read through it today. Or, yesterday as the case may be... since it's now after midnight on Friday. And man... did I suck. I tried to sit down and write some more bad poetry today, but the lovelorn poetess of my high school years and beyond is no longer able to be channeled - for the better, I reckon. The pain she felt at rejection (and worse yet if it was someone she knew and was close to!) seems so... so childish. "Ohhh how I loved you but you don't love me. I'm going to cry. Pain and hurt. Oh no!" (It sorta reminds me of goth freddie from ghastly's ghastly comic, in a strange way. I kept expecting to see "neko neko wai!" after some of the things written in this book!)
I'm glad I can't channel her anymore. I'm sure there's plenty of other teenaged poetesses out there attempting to get their angst and heartbreak in a little book, and in eleven years or so they'll look back and say "I can't believe I wrote that drivel!" and "WTF was I thinking!?"
It's kinda amusing... despite the fact that my life is sorta 'bleak' at the moment, Ican't seem to write a poem that would convey that without it sounding absolutely chidish and horrid. Maybe I need to lock myself into my bedroom, blare Celine Dion lovesongs and bemoan my lack of a lovelife.
Or... not. I -do- bemoan my lack of a sexlife atm though. FFS :)

5:08 pm - I've never been good at these things...
|
You know.
I've never ever ever been good at these sorta things. One would think, with my penchant for telling all my problems to anyone who'd listen that I'd update this thing more often.
I'm such a goof.
I suppose I should do some sort of update-ish type thing, as many people haven't heard from me. Hell, I don't even know how many still remember me. That's always been my thing, I tend to fade in and out of sight a lot. Always have, always will - flitting from one place to the next, touching lives and letting people wonder "Whatever happened to Kat/Stacy?" And I just flit along...
Shoot. I forgot how to do a cut thing. >< Sorry.
I suppose the biggest update that this thing could use (and I should see about changing my account info to reflect it) is that I married Yoshimutsu/Abaddon. Yes, that's right, I married my Aussie. We're not living together yet, but instead going through immigration and all the fun that is. I hate living half a world away from him, it makes my nights lonely. We chat almost constantly on AIM when we can but... it's totally not the same. I know it probably seems weird to be married to someone who you don't live with, but it's supposed to help our chances at immigration. I hope.
October 22nd, 2005. At Noon. My mother goes on and on about the ceremony, talking about how beautiful it was and how when we said our vows the sun came shining on our faces. I don't remember much other than staring at his face and wondering how this ever happened.
I still get a start whenever I see my new last name on my buisness cards/information from work. "Who is this Stacy Thomas?" I find myself wondering, and then I realize it's me. Amazing, isn't it?
Wedding piccies here if anyone is interested: http://members.iinet.net.au/~malkav/images/weddingphotos/
My life, though, she remains the same. When I work, I work and do taxes. Which is so boring. When I'm at home, I play WOW. Exciting eh? Actually, I don't mind - three level 60s, in a decent raiding guild finally getting its act together... I wish I could go back to my rogue. Being a druid is fun, I don't mind healbotting... being a warrior was cool, but I was almost forced out of that. I just really miss my rogue, unfortunately they're a dime a dozen on Spinebreaker. Our top guild on the Alliance is recruiting rogues. I'm sorely sorely tempted.
That, and atm my damn hard drive is acting funky >< WoW isn't running right, my husband bought me a new hard drive but it hasn't gotten here and the company he purchased it from isn't returning phonecalls or emails. Both of us are starting to get disgusted with it. ><
Ahh well. Other than all that, life itself is in a rut.
Tomorrow is "National Tax Day" according to H&R Block. More like H&R Block tax day, and they want us to go around to businesses and drum up more business. I'm horribly uncomfortable with that. So what do they do? Stick me in our Wal-mart satellite office where I get to do it all day, 10 - 6. UGH. I'll survive. I've survived before eh?

11:25 am - Yet another one of those mysterious strange Updates
|
That I never seem to do very often :p
I figured now is a good chance to kinda write a few things up, get a few things written down before I forget... and all that good stuff. :p
Lodging immigration applications with the Australia Government is a pain in the ass. I sometimes think it'd just be heaps easier for Matt and I to sneak off to Las Vegas and get married - but I don't know if he'd have a job if we did that. :/ so that would make things a little bit hard, and we'd just be postponing the inevitable when it came to lodging the application. I'd still have to do it. :/
Oh. Yeah, this is important. He asked me to marry him in March. :D I said yes, of course.
So I guess on the relationship front everything is going wonderful *g*
So life is good. I just hate immigration applications! >_

9:42 am - Another one of my rare updates...
|
Hrmm... I seem to rarely update this thing. I dunno why, I've always got drivel spewing in my head, and then I think about posting it -somewhere-... but I forget.
Hrmmm.
Either way, I digress.
I never thought at age 25 I'd be a mum. Mom.. whichever. O_O I've been in Australia too long, I reckon. Matt's two children are so adorable, and they make my heart soar... I love them dearly. Even his son with his bedwetting problems (>.<) And even though his daughter drives me up a -wall- with her "why? why? why?" when she cuddles me and gives me a kiss at night, it makes me so glad... I know they're not mine, and this time we've gotten to spend with them is very little considering they're mostly with their mum (when she's not out of town working) I've totally fallen head over heels for them.
I also never thought I'd have my own family at 25. I want to cry, it's all so overwhelming... but my -family- is here now... not just my boyfriend. I mean, yea, sure, there's family back in the states, but MY family is here. Matt and Harley, the kitty, and his kids... his parents, and sisters, and brother.... it's all a bunch of "wow." when I think about it.
I'm glad, so glad, that everything is behind us now (I hope.) I mean, it's entirely possible that when I go back (in 15 days :( )that things won't be. That things'll go back to how they did back in march... that I'll be in a stormy, rocky relationship with no idea as to what'll happen. But I hope that this won't be so... I can see it in his eyes how much I mean to him when he looks at me, and that makes me happyhappyhappy... makes me feel positive about the future.
Hrmmm... strange ramblings.
NWN is driving me nuts still... being a GameOp is harder than I thought it would be. It's fun though, and challenging... especially when H3g3m0n screws up the build >< But that's ok, I need to clean house today for a rent inspection anyways ;p The time that the toolset'll spend compiling the module we run will allow some goooood cleanin' time I reckon.
And dammit, I want my World of Warcraft Beta BACK >.< My poor night elf rogue, she's feeling neglected. NEGLECTED I tell ya!

10:59 pm - Updateness. Woot!
|
Things aren't going nearly as freakishly horrible as they could be. Oi, that's ambiguous, isn't it? LOL
In NWN news: I'm nearly a master (mistress?) crafter, and I rock. Armour, Weapons, soon tailoring will be rounded out. This makes me happy happy happy.
Work: Tax season is almost over. WOOOOOOOOOOT! this makes me even more happy happy. one week from thursday y'all. ONE WEEK. Thursday sucks 'cause I'm in the icky WalMart place, but I bought Mercedes Lackey books to keep me company. Yay for Mercedes Lackey!
My friend the Doctor in Melbourne might've saved a life last night. Kickass, totally. that makes me happy. 'cept he's sleeping, so he can't help me wreck havoc on the server and I'm instead crafting dyes for tailoring. Meh. And Jak isn't on anymore either, but I'm not into running around levelling atm. I mean, he needs to get Da'mieal up so Serena the Goddess can start seriously levelling but everyone seems to die. Not a good levelling night methinks. And I want chainmail of speed ffs. (yes, I realize most of you have NO clue what I'm talking about.) I would like to point out that while a freakish combination, Druid/Bard works out pretty nicely. A singing wildwoman... rwarrr!
Family: A bunch of morons. That's all I have to say about that, and we've acquired another family member, my wayward cousin from California. He's scared of his own shadow, and he's been horribly abused. It finally broke down to where he couldn't stay with the bitchass uncle next door, and he's better off here. I just gotta hide mah cash. (the money, not the cat. :p)
The Boyfriend: What amuses me the most is he'll probably see this (Hi Matt! :P) and just shake his head :p Probably totally unbeknownst to him, he did something absolutely amazing and has me in smiles - he read the journal (gasp, shock, horror!) and noticed my little Josh Gracin banner. (CLICK! :P) He mentioned it. I am now in smiles. It's the little stuffs like that that make things really grand, even when they're semi-rocky, whatnot.
Australia, here I come! Just gotta figure out when bonuses are coming and then BAM! I'm buyin' the ticket. Visa done been approved, and I'm ready. I need to get out of the psychotic place here known as Toledo. I think I've spent way too many summers away that if I were to stay here, I'd probably go postal... or WORSE. o_O
A little concerned about cashflow whilst abroad, but I have no doubt that'll fall into place. Wheeeee!

12:19 am - Those Dark, Dark Eyes...
|
They were eerie, today, as he sat across from me at the tax desk. No one I knew, some random guy who came into WalMart wanting to know our prices. He wanted me to do his taxes under the table... I flat out refused. Not going to jepordize my job for no reason, buddy, not to make a few quick bucks. I'll wait for my paycheck, thanks.
I don't know if he touched me or not. I could easily imagine it, he did keep moving closer and closer as he asked his questions, asking and re-asking, the whole time trying to flatter me and charm me into giving in to him. "I will own you, I will possess you" he seemed to be saying to me with his eyes, so very dark.
He was charming, and he was nice. Shook my hand twice, called me wonderfully cooperative and he would be back after he finished to have a double check challenge. He asked for a business card - I had to give him one. Why couldn't I have forgotten these ones today? :/
His eyes were tasteful, never wandering overmuch, but he was definitely excited to be there, to see me, and he wanted something from me... I don't know what. It made me incredibly uncomfortable, and after he left I just sat there and shook for a few minutes. I'm dreading having to see him again, and maybe I'll get lucky.
Or, maybe not.
Maybe being in my regular office will grant me the strength to be a bit stronger next time. He tried to flatter me with talk about being a resident, and how much money he would be making. Heh... I don't play around with married men, buddy. Been there, done that, got the souvenires, and I don't plan on doing anything to anyone except Matt. Take your bloody smile and leave me be.
But oh, how he could've captured me, and it wasn't for lack of trying either.
*shudders* Possessive. Too possessive. I want Matt, I want his arms around me, I want him beside me, comforting me from this stranger.

Allright, admittedly the one I love is in Australia and mentally he's not beside me totally, but that's a forgiveable thing at the moment... And I'm in Ohio.
But the sun -is- shining, and I'm alive and free....
I just totally kicked ass at work (so much I had to come home and write 'bout it on my livejournal! :D)
Had a hard tax return - dude owned his own business, and there were all kinds of hard things, depreciation and etc... and I did it! :D Got him all set up, sold him an IRA, and had him leaving Happy.
Woot!
*wiggles* hard tax return, made me think, and I did it, and it was good.

I'm sorry, my livejournal has been a bit of a downer lately and it's not going to get much better with this post. :/ I feel like hell. Utterly. Miserable. I told Matt I saved up the money finally to get a (round trip!) ticket like we agreed I'd still work on and his reaction?
"Mmhmm."
Maybe it's just me. Maybe I've been feeling absolutely over sensitive because of all this and I want some other sign other than what he sends to me which make my emotions roller coaster. Maybe I want some solid sign of one way or the other.
Maybe maybe maybe...
Maybe I'm just tired. It's very hard to be patient right now. Especially with the highs (there are highs!) and lows (oh boy.) It's like a roller coaster, except its an emotional one, and I've never been good handling these.
And on a totally random note, I want less hours at work dammit! :/ and I don't want to work every other thursday at our Walmart office. Such as it is :/
And back to the topic at hand: I deserve more than just a "cyas" when he goes offline, don't I? :/

I dunno. He's online, and I've messaged - now, mind you, I know he's playing a game. I just don't know where to go from here, I guess I don't need to talk to him but it'd be nice. Meh.
I reckon it's just me being silly - he doesn't know I'm online, so he's not purposefully ignoring me - or he's really involved. I guess in times like this where things are so uncertain on my end, it makes it harder for me to realize these things. :/ Nothing I can do I guess but try to understand and not be a total moron about things like that. I guess. I dunno. Meh.
I hate being uncertain. Especially about stupid things like this. Is it Stupid? I don't know. It's kinda like... I can't describe it fully. Like, I feel inadequate when this happens. I dunno. Like I said, I'm probably feeling stupid/silly I guess. Meh.

Blessed lady, it is absolutely wonderful to chill out and relax and be able to sleep in and not have to sit in the office for hours on end doing absofreakin'lutely nothing.
Slow season suxors.
I litterally did just about nothing, 'cept I went to WalMart today for a sports bra (still thinking of doing the gym thing... gonna wait and see how payday pans out in terms of cash.) I got the sports bra, but also bought a pair of jeans with this nifty lookin' chinese dragon on the leg :) Very nice looking, he's in this green/beige colour. Was on clearance too, so that makes me feel a lot better :P
Oh, I also made dinner. It was nice to cook, felt completely in control. Made baked ziti for the first time. It was really good, gonna take it for lunch tomorrow. Plans are already underway to make it for Matt.
I wonder if the NWN server I play on has reset? *contemplates* 'cause if not, my cleric is dead. Level 14, playing with Hell wurms? BAD! 'course, I could go back to Armour Crafting with my shadowdancer, but I gotta mine more copper.
Maybe I'll break out the paladin... *contemplates* either way, time to head back to the game. Wheee! :D

9:21 pm - Re-emergence
|
Is that even a word? *ponders*
Regardless, don't matter I suppose. I'm alive, for any who might remember me or care. :p Back from my sojourn to Australia, been back since November - but wrapped up in a strange cocoon of non-communicativeness. I don't know what's possessed me to start being communicative again, or the like, but hey - I guess it dun matter much does it? *chuckles wryly*
Taxes are excruciatingly boring during the slow season. I don't know if I honestly have the patience to continue doing this job for as many years as people have... I reckon I'd need to become an office manager or something. I do like working for H&R Block though, so yeah.
Australia in May again. If all goes well. Yay. *smiles slightly*
( If you wanna leave me, can I come too? )
In the meantime I desperately look foward to Tuesday, and a day of rest. Sorta. I'm contemplating joining a gym. o_O

Well, sorta :) We're moved in now, which is amazingly awesome. I adore this house. It's huge. 4 bedrooms, one bath - and the bathroom is right off the master bedroom. I think I wanna live here forever and ever :)
Of course, that might be because it's the closest thing to my own house I've managed yet. It's... thrilling, exciting, and slightly scary all at the same time. My own house. (Well sorta. I mean, Matt pays the rent. :p) I still have several rooms worth of junk to unpack, but that's not a problem.
It's gonna suck going back to the states in November. I'm beginning to look at -here- as being more and more like home and the States as being more and more a 'vacation' - of course, back in Ohio I'll have a job which'll be a fantastic thing. Money will help me move.
Unless something happens, I think I'm moving here. When I get home I gotta start stuff with immigration about getting a work permit and all that. Gonna have to save up mucho cash, but I've had a few lessons in being frugal lately - I think I can do it.
*giggles*
Look! I'm all grown up! (or something...)
But it seems like there's a huge sign above my head saying "Welcome to Adulthood, please leave your 'toys' by the door".
...I'll be damned if I'm leaving the toys though. :ppppppp
Floor plan (badly drawn of course) of the house!
