quick update - yes, I am still alive
Yes, it's been a while, but I am still around. What happened? Too much to really grasp every detail in one entry, but things can basically be summed up like this:
We found and adopted an 8 week old baby cat 2 weeks ago, trying to make my adult cat get along with him now, and thinking I am going to succeed. My sister (finally) broke up with Roomie#E, therefore effectively ending their long-distance relationship, and restoring peace and order in my world and the way I (selfishly) want it to be. And last but certainly not least, The Fiancé and I have decided to leave the United States and move back to my home country together, very contrary to our plans of sticking around at least another year and see if the band is going somewhere or not.
Why? Homesickness, basically. And the feeling of wasting my time, since I graduated from college. And my visa is running out. And we go to bed hungry almost on a daily basis because we can barely make ends meet, and under such pressing monetary situations, food becomes secondary. Also, a sense of urgency that I can't quite explain. Something tells me it's time to move on.
Plus, I just learned that my favorite cousin and his wife are expecting their first baby in December... a very good reason to look forward to home, much as I despise the thought of living in that country again.
When? We're shooting for the end of July. We do not have a definite date set yet, and lots of things still need to be taken care of before our departure, but basically I do not wish to pay another month's worth of rent, and this weird sense of urgency is driving me on, making me try to make this transitional and very painful time as short as possible.
Oh, and Love has never called me, after that night in West Hollywood, btw. I think I owe you an update on that, but I am really not upset over this. I wasn't expecting her to call, and I had a grand time either way. Too bad that tomorrow a (very last) band meeting is scheduled... otherwise I would be going to that place again and enjoy it for as long as I still can.
Short and sweet... for now. I have been unreasonably tired and fatigued lately, I think I owe it to my body to lay it to rest before midnight for a change, even though I am having a hard time falling asleep when The Fiancé isn't there. He's out for a couple of beers with Roomie#E... I hope he's having fun, it'll be one of the last time he's going to be able to do that.
I really admire him for so readily giving up on his entire life as he knows it the way he does... trading it in for a country he has never been to, doesn't know the mentality/culture of, and doesn't speak its language...

He sounds golden in so many ways. Best of luck with the transition, I imagine you'll be quite busy with organising these next few weeks.
