   Visas

So I was really panicking about wanting to visit/live in the UK for longer than 6 months. I want to decide if I want to live there and give up my US citizenship. I want to have amble time to make this decision... like 1-2 years. When researching visas it looked like I could only visit for 6 months, but wouldn't need a visa to. Upon researching this stupid site, it looked like I would have to have a worker's permit to be able to stay there longer than 6 months, wrong. I can apply for a visit visa for up to 10 years for $162. Now this is a good deal if it works! I'm going to apply for a 2 year visit visa and see if I get it. If so, then I'm set. That way I have time to make a decision. Also, if I get married while I'm there, boom I'm a UK citizen. I think 2 years is adequate time. So I'm feeling a little better. Sorry Richard for getting all emotional, it's just all very scary and overly complex, in my opinion.

Well I gave up some time to talk to Richard to see War of the Worlds and it SUCKED! I mean I should've gone to see one of the comic book movies instead. The movie had so much potential and when so many things are left to explain, the credits started going! I was like WTF. Also, a third of the movie was spent in a basement... the movie seemed more interested in showing people die and mass destruction then plot elements... oh well.

I went to the mall too and picked up a new DJ Micro mix CD. I was so glad to see another one since his last CD wasn't that good (too progressive).

So I feel a little bit better about me and Richard. He said he won't be going to school for another year so we can live together until he goes to school, then move to whatever city that may be. A bit scared of it all =(

Yes! I got my passport in today. Now nothing can stop me, except visa issues. It's getting serious now ^_^

   Lost...
We have a direct line to the internet at work now so I am able to post again on occassion. Since this line is only for testing purposes =P

I have not been doing well lately... just last night I was doing a post in here and the to power went out. I was working on something for my boyfriend Richard (Chocobo_Gene) and I just started crying. I then remembered his website and I haven't been to MyOtaku in awhile. I went to read his journal to hopefully read some comforting words, only to find myself not mentioned at all... but he kept talking about his other friends and how awesome they are and how he's always out at night and spending the night with him and how he should be home more often... from what I've been told is that his friends are mean to him and he's so lonely and feels deserted most of the time. Last night he was talking to me about that and then about us being together in the UK. My original thought is that I would move in with him and his family for 2-3 months, paying 20 pounds a week (which is an awesome deal), then me and him would get a flat together in Bradford, or another city, such as Manchester, where he would then attend a university and possibly me too. But he started talking like this wouldn't be possible... that he'd probably end up in student housing and me on my own. From the looks of it... I'd have to move out of his place in 2-3 months and then have to find my own place alone and then sadly watch as he moves to another city because I'm stuck in a lease. I'm 23 and really want to settle down. My life has been hectic and I'm tired of feeling lost. I thought I finally knew where my home was... until now. Last month didn't go so well either.



Yup... that Accord there used to be my car. On my way to pick up a friend from his job at Wal*Mart at night going down FM 969 (4 lane farm road) in Manor the light turned yellow and I decided to go ahead and go through it. I saw a motor home go through it but when it cleared, I went through the intersection. Unfortunately, I soon saw a Jeep Grand Cherokee in my windshield. It was being towed by the motor home and the Jeep had no tow lights on it or even hazard lights so I didn't see it at all. Of course I walked out of my car crying thinking I killed someone seeing that overturned jeep. I was happy to find out no one was in it. And now my charming insurance company is saying the accident is 100% my fault. They won't even fight for me! So never get Esurance... ever, lol. They are evil. I'm having to get a lawyer to get this all sorted because I suck at this kind of thing. If it does come out my fault, my policy won't cover the SUV and I'll be in debt $25,000. That will be fun!

Oh and today I got a certified letter from my student loan company saying I've defaulted, and they're going to garnish my wages unless I come up with a payment plan within 30 days.

So right now? I'm not doing too well. I don't know where to go from here... I'm still waiting on my passport (it's been 4 weeks already) and I emailed the British Embassy about what visa to get yesterday... but now I'm doubting everything. With the way Richard has talked lately to me and in his journal just... something seems missing. I don't know what to make of things now. I'm just so crushed. To think you have everything so nicely planned out and then oops, it's not that way anymore. God this happens to me a lot... Well, I need to get back to work. Thanks for reading my rant.

Bonita - The Way
Lost in my mind
Don't want to lose my self control
I need a sign
Something to tell me I will survive
In darkness I cannot see... see...
I have faith
I do believe
I am strong
I'll find the way
Show me the way
Show me the truth
Take away the pain I'm in
Satisfy me deep within
Pull me with love

Finally, I'm posting again!
YAY! I finally found a way to post on here at work, so expect more posts from me =)

Well my job is going good! Still working at Dell and testing printers. I'm just glad I still have it and I'm still appreciated. I also hope to start drawing soon. I need to take more time for myself lately... too busy with other things.

I need to work more on my Toboe site. It's still in progress. I'm still trying to work on a good template for it.

I also want my koi to know that I miss him terribly and I can't wait to meet him! Getting a passport and visa is such a pain in the arse, but hopefully soon I'll have them.

I'm up through episode 25 of Wolf's Rain! I just have one more to watch on my DVD then I'll either finish the OVAs with chocobo_gene or watch the versions on VHS I have that a friend taped for me. Not sure yet... I really don't want to finish the series alone...

And for all you british people, you are lucky! You get some of the best music video stations and dance clubs! I'm going to have such a blast once I'm finally there! I already have most of the money I need. Just need to get the paper work sorted.

And my next printer test at work is to test these t-shirt transfers... guess who I'm going to use a picture I'm going to use =)

Europe, Kamikazecon, and Toboe!!
Well here I sit at Schlotzsky's after going through the Wolf's Rain forums. Gosh life has gotten so much more complicated for me... at least it's in a good way. I've decided I really need to fulfill my dream of seeing Europe. I have a friend who can probably get me cheap tickets to Denmark, fly in, check out the Netherlands as well and hopefully meet Rank 1. Then I'll take a Ferry down to the UK and hang with my friends Stu and Richard and possibly this other guy... but this other guy is weird XD

So I made two more motion Toboe avatars. I like how they came out. They're really cute:

Well I hope to get started on my Toboe fansite soon! I already have over 950 screenshots in HDTV quality that are easily full-size resolution (1024x768). These pics are huge! I'm really impressed with the quality. LOL, just think, that's only Volumes 2 and 3.

I need to stop talking to my friend Ookami late at night! I stay up till like 1 AM talking to her, then I wake up all tired... blech. XD It's just she's so funny. We joke around for hours about the most random crap. Ugh, before I know it, it's incredibly late.

Kamikazecon is coming up this Friday! I'm so excited =D Along with the dance, Koda Kumi will also be performing live. This will be a lot of fun. Also at A-Kon in June (if I'm even here) Maaya Sakamoto will be there live... the singer for the ending theme in Wolf's Rain. It'd be great to hear her live as well.

Well I gotta run to work! Working for Dell can be quite fun and they pay good... lol, but that's only because I have a good supervisor. I've heard it's not-so-good in other departments. I'll try to update this more often. =)

All set up and ready to go
Well this is a pretty awesome bloggie site. Chocobo_gene showed me his journal and I liked how it was anime based, so I wanted to join this community too. I just finished customizing my page here. I'm trying to combine readability with style. Does it look okay?

I also have a livejournal, but I wanted to keep up with my love, so the only way to do that was to make an account. I will try to keep this as updated as I can, but unfortunately where I work, they block a lot of sites, and this is one of them (but livejournal.com isn't blocked... weird).

Well I'm rambling on, anyways. Feel free to sign my guestbook or contact me if you want. I love making new friends. See you in my next post ^^
