The boy and I have a place of our own now. It has 3 bedrooms (well, more like 1 bedroom, a study and storage), living/dining/kitchen area, laundry, 2 bathroom and a toilet. The whole thing is kind of awesome... except we are also in debt for the next 20 to 25 years of our lives. I suppose it could have been worse. This means new postal address and new landline, call/tx/lj me if you require my new address and/or landline.

On fandom news; I have been re-watching Leverage. I’m taking my time because I want to enjoy it to the best of my ability. The show just makes me gleeful; it is fun, it is happy and I love all the characters to bits.

I have also been watching an obscene amount of Gackt related videos. The man is the most entertaining person I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. His sheer presence has the ability to crack me up. I also find him much more attractive when he is being a giant dork as opposed to SUPER COOL GACKTO. His sense of humour is hilarious, and the awesome crack activities he get the TV presenters to do is just fantastic. I love seeing the presenters doing the ab-machine exercise or the crotch-flexibility machine thing. Oh, the LOOK of sheer pain on the male presenters will forever make me smile.

Also, everybody is in awe or stunned-stupidity when they first meet Gackt. Everybody. The way the celebrities react to him is hilarious; from complete fans to slight discomfort, no matter how they react when they first meet him, they are usually laughing and/or in awe of him at the end of the show. Usually a combination of both. The man is awesome... though still not sexually attractive.

So, I finally sat down the other day and begun coordinating my wedding. The Guest List is mostly complete; the other half will need to fill in the blanks. Mostly I’ll need to book a venue by the end of March 2009, send out the invites by May, and create an itinerary and resource list with set budgets to every item by June.

Also looking at house agents and brokers; I will have my house by March next year. I even have a list of things I want in my house;

• 200 to 350 sqm


• $300,000 to $355,000


• 3 Bedrooms


• 2 bathrooms (this is negotiable)


• Air Conditioning


• Polished floor boards [NO CARPETS]


• Outdoor alfresco area [as LITTLE lawn and garden as possible]


• Preferred Suburb


• Alarm/security

Need to obtain Shared Equity form, fill it, and send it back by the end of December/beginning of January. Also figure out how to get the FHOG [$14,000].

2009 is going to be interesting.
