Back - and collared! <3
15 years ago
I got back from Melbourne last week and have finally recovered from the drive!
I had an absolutely fantastic time. Only thing that would have made it better is if I didn't have to leave!
I met with my kitteh,
nytekingcheetah and we spent the whole time together at 3 different hotels (due to a shortage of rooms).
Together, we boosted Melbourne's Pizza industry by about 200%. At the first, swanky hotel, we left a pile of 14 pizza boxes in 8 days!
We only met with a handful of furs while I was there, instead spending time getting to know each other better. I got to watch and listen to him shred away on his two brilliant guitars and felt very humble over my own abilities (when I played years ago!)
Leaving was hard. Bloody hard! Anyone who knows me well enough won't be surprised that I shed quite a few tears on the looooong drive home (18hrs driving)! But it's only temporary, because I'll be there permanently by either the end of this year or beginning of next year!
And, true to my brilliant planning to be driving over on the Easter long weekend, one of the most dangerous times of year to be on the road, I drove -back- on the ANZAC-day long-weekend! I had a couple of close calls where idiots that were overtaking coming the other way came at me because they didn't look. Got ran off the road twice at 110km/hr, which wasn't much fun!
Today came the best bit though. It was always going to be a big day for me, as today marks the day that I 'check out' of the Workcover system from my injuries I sustained nearly 12 years ago. It means that, while I no longer have the support from the (larfingly called) 'insurance,' I am also free to leave the state.
With that end of an era coming about, I was not prepared for what came next: Nyte has now taken me as his mate! *happydance*
I've had a crush on him for about 14 months now, and this is an awesome honour for me. I cannot wait to return to Melbourne in a few months and celebrate! I'm going to spoil that cat rotten!
So, one era ends, the next begins!
It is indeed the Dawning of the Age of Antarius!
Cheers,
Ant
