kungfupolarbear and I are planning out our trip down to Florida*!

The current idea looks like this. And spread over three days. The stops in Piscataway and Brick are to visit a couple of friends of hers, and the Aberdeen stop is to visit friends of my parents. After that there’ll be a stop somewhere between Aberdeen and St. Augustine, it just depends on how tired we are and how far we get. Once we’re in Florida we’re going to visit the Kennedy Space Center at some point too. There’s a shuttle launch set for 28th April, which is exactly when we’re in Florida! That would be very cool, assuming it doesn’t get pushed back.

Where “kungfupolarbear and I” is actually just kungfupolarbear since I have no idea where anything is.

SQUEE! We’ve booked our plane tickets!!

And holy fuck is the flight cheap! I’m going from Sydney to Boston via San Francisco on the way there, and then on the way back we’re going from Florida, via Denver and LA, back to Sydney. The total cost?

$1436.

!!

I am very much enjoying living by myself! Just the sheer freedom of not having to worry about anyone else here is fantastic.

The only thing more awesome will be when kungfupolarbear is here!

[EDIT]
I should also add, not having to deal with an overly anal-retentive passive-aggressive bitch is fantastic too (meaning my former roommate Mel, not Sammi, hah). I’m just dealing with her part of the bond that I owe, since she moved out and I’m still here. The notice of lodgement says it was $1740, and we both paid half, so that’d be $870 each. I messaged her saying that, and she’s arguing the point and thinking it should be more, not realising that the amount that we actually paid included a week’s rent. It turns out apparently it was a bit more than $870… all of SEVEN DOLLARS more. ffs. Who the fuck cares about $7?

kungfupolarbear can vouch for it, too. Mel’s boyfriend was living with us too (who I’ve actually known for many years now) and he’s great fun to hang out with. Except for when Mel is around… she’s just totally controlling and generally not nice to him at all. I really wish he would realise he could do so much better and just dump her. They were together for like six years before they broke up, but unfortunately they got back together again. I suspect it’s just familiarity more than anything else. Ugh. Not that it’s any of my business but still.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

kungfupolarbear got a call from the Australian Embassy today, she needs to send off the last bit of paperwork then the visa will be approved!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Of course, we’re still not sure exactly when she’ll be over here, but it’s definitely happening!!
