Write the theme tune... Wow, within a matter of days I'm actually updating again. This time I'm updating from the office at almost 9pm. Isn't that fantastic? Yes? No? Oh well, I figured I'd stop by and update while I'm here. Rather than writing out a full post though, I think I will just respond to your comments. Thanks again for visiting, especially considering the sheer boringness of my page lately. The next few weeks are going to continue the busyness, as I will be down in Melbourne for a week, then I'll be in Sydney for a week...and then back up here at the end of the month. And then I'll be moving into the city. Phew. The next week will involve apartment shopping though, so that'll be fun. Other than that, I'm still very eager to get back into the swing of things. There are so many things to do on here and I am frustrated that I can't be here to handle everything! But I'm very fortunate to have a brilliant staff at OtakuBoards who are holding the fort while I'm gone and I know that I can always rely on Adam and Justin to do what must be done. So I never feel too stressed about not being able to attend to things at times. I'm also possibly changing jobs sometime this month (at the very least, I may be going to a job that pays significantly more than what I earn with Warner now). So that'll be pretty funky. I'll be able to buy that gold toilet seat that I've been hankerin' for! ...but no, seriously, it may actually allow me to return a few favours. For example, I'll be able to send presents to all the people who have mailed me over the years. I've received some wonderful gifts from so many people. Annie sent me a shirt that I still wear frequently - it's so cool that it even gets comments on the street, lol. I love it to death. And Mimmi has sent me a billion things that I adore (including my favourite chocolates and some incredibly cool Nintendo merchandise). And then there's Juu, who sent me a beautiful package quite a while ago...I still have her address and I'm going to send some interesting Australian-themed stuff to her. I hope she'll like what I have planned. Anyhoo, on to the comments. Mimmi: Ahuh. I will have changed addresses three times in a month-and-a-half. So uh...it just kills my brain, haha. But the third and final move can't come soon enough! I'm sure you'd like the apartments I'm looking at, too. If I can get a picture I shall show you. ^_^ CosmicSailor: Oh don't worry, everything has been planned out (as best as is possible anyway). It's mostly just a matter of getting through that time where things aren't so sure...when you're in the middle of things. I just feel like I am in constant flux right now and that can be difficult at times. Annie: I hope you're doing well, my dear Annie. I can't wait to be back for real. ~_^ Aaryanna: Heheh, that title was kind of a reference to the suburb I'm in now. It's a nice place, although Queensland suburbs are very odd compared to Melbourne suburbs. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's strange. We're getting calls from real estate agents tomorrow to organize times for inspections. So...with any luck that will mean we can knock over something within the next week. I'd certainly like to have a place organized before I head back down to Melbourne anyway. And thanks, I hope you take care too! ^_^ Alexus: I'm really looking forward to being back. I can't wait to get back into Guild Wars. How's it been going anyway? Bio: Fun changes aplenty, you bet! When time permits I'm going to be getting knee-deep in OB and myOtaku...it's going to be great. John: Hah! Yes, Brisbane could do with another citizen who speaks English well and who isn't too fond of thongs. Heheh, only joking. Actually I very much enjoy the atmosphere up here and I love Brisbane itself. Reminds me of Melbourne quite a bit. Anyway, I think Brisbane is cool enough anyway. It's just totally funky. ~_^ I still haven't seen King Kong...blah. I'll get there before it stops playing! ...I hope. ~_^ Liam: Well, it's nice because the apartments in Brisbane - even the most expensive - are around half the cost of what you'll pay in Melbourne or Sydney. I mean, say you pay $500 a week for something in Melbourne or Sydney...you're likely to get a tiny little room in a not-so-good area. It costs a lot more than that for something truly nice. Whereas in Brisbane - in South Bank and West End anyway - you can go from say $400 to $500 per week and get a spacious two or three bedroom place in an ideal location and with all the latest features. So the difference is massive and it's a very pleasant surprise for me, as I was expecting the prices to be significantly higher. As far as music goes, I haven't yet really been to any clubs or anything here yet. I've been to a few cafes in the city but I haven't really had the time to explore further. Once I've settled in though, you can bet that I'll be finding out what the city has to offer. So that'll be fun. Anyhoo, I'm currently in Sunnybank. So at a guess I'm something like 15-20 minutes drive from the city. It's a relatively good location in terms of convenience, however, as I've said a lot on this blog...I won't really feel calm until I'm in a truly final location. Those last few weeks are the hardest to wait! ^_^ indifference: Thank you much. I replied to your PM, by the way. Hopefully I can get something to you shortly. Take care. ^_^ SugarCone: Right now I have very little on me, so in a way I'm still kind of living out of a suitcase. I've unpacked but I didn't bring a lot with me. But that was expected, because the weather here is significantly more humid than what I'm used to. As a result, I haven't had a need for any long-sleeved clothing or trousers or anything. So considering a good 90% of my wardrobe consists of that stuff...that means a good 90% of it is useless to me here, lol. So I shall need to buy all-new clothing soon. Yay. You need some mature reading? Hm, I can probably give you a longer post soon that involves something a bit more meaty...but for now I can only tell you that my new year's eve was unexpectedly uh...wild. I've never been that drunk in my entire life. In fact, I hardly ever drink alcohol, so it was very rare. But it was a good night, I will tell you more about that soon perhaps. ~_^ SunfallE: Thank you, I really appreciate it. I hope you are doing well too! And yes...changes! When I get back to the business of web design, it should be very interesting. This last month has influenced me quite a bit. Sesshomarufan: Thank you very much, I am really hoping that things settle down as well. Once they do, I'm sure I will settle in nicely to my new home. Hope you had a fun new year's. ^_^ dream wings: Haha, somehow that's very appropriate for my current situation though. But not long to wait now. I hope that you're enjoying your puppy. ^_^
