Update - 10.08.14

You'll be pleased to know that the pimple in my ear has subsided. The wine and pizza night was great fun. Everyone ended up making basically the same pizzas, because all the toppings looked goo...

Here I Am - 09.08.14

Yesterday I had coffee with Pickles before he left for Borneo. I was worried that I might leave before he gets back. I HOPE I leave before he gets back. I will miss him, though. He's a great ...

Woah - 06.08.14

My GoFundMe page has been amazingly successful. I was mortified at the idea of posting it on my Facebook page, and letting people I haven't seen in years know that I am broke and asking for help...

HALP

As time passes, and I continue to panic, I have taken a leaf out of a fellow diarist's book: http://www.gofundme.com/PutMeNextToMyHusband Now, I have no expectations here. If you can spare a ...

Low - 02.08.14

Have been awake since 4:30am, crying my eyes out. I am going to wait a while before writing another entry here, it'd only be more "woe is me" bullshit anyway.

August - 01.08.14

It has been a difficult couple of days. I marked one year since my Ernie left for America, and tomorrow will be one year since M left. I remember bursting into tears at 5pm on Thursday, 1 Augus...

Wednesday - 30.07.14

I think I forgot to mention that my psychopathic step-mother surfaced again yesterday. I hadn't had any calls or texts since May, when I had sent it all on to my father, and she had blocked me o...

Tuesday - 29.07.14

I feel like I'm just in this void where all I do is mess around online, snooze and watch tv. I am lazy and tired and losing track of time. I'm freaking depressed as anything. I am fighting my...

Monday - 28.07.14

I had a dream last night that M's form arrived in the mail today. I checked it earlier, and there was nothing. It should be here any day now, and I can send it away with my documentation to the...

27.07.14

Slow day today. I did nothing but watch my mother's tenant move out of the front house, and my brother and the kid from down the street knock the laundry off the front house and smash the steps ...

Dad - 26.07.14

Feeling ruffled after a phone call from Dad today, Saturday, when he had said he would call last Monday. It was brief, and almost felt as though he was calling just so that he could say he did. ...

4:36am - 26.07.14

Awake at 4:36am, like an idiot. I woke just before 4am, and just can't get back to sleep. My mind is ticking over with a million thoughts, one of which is that I had hoped to arrive in America ...

Hmm - 25.07.14

After falling into a funk, I had decided that I would spend yesterday firmly planted in my bed, reading and watching movies. After having my usual morning tea with my neighbour, I headed back ...

BLERG - 22.07.14

I got an email from the visa office today - they want me to send in my original birth certificate, marriage certificate etc. I was infuriated, because I sent the originals and copies in the firs...

Stagnant - 21.07.14

Feeling like I'm going nowhere fast. It's a horrible feeling, and it's not correct. I only sent my forms to the US Consulate on Friday (the ones I had to send, the main one I did online when I ...

Assistance, Please

Can someone please give me instructions on how to "unfollow" certain books? Most diarists on here have several books running, but I only want to follow one or two books per author. To be blunt ...

Hi - 18.07.14

This morning I went next door for a cuppa. My neighbour was getting ready for a doctor's appointment, so I spent some time with a friend of ours who is in town visiting her seriously ill mother ...

Thursday - 17.07.14

This week has disappeared on me. Tomorrow is Friday, I can hardly believe it. Nothing much has happened. I have been spending my days hanging out with my neighbour. Stayed up late a few nig...


Dubbo was uneventful. My friend Heslop was still a bit weird and too flirty, but that may be a side effect of his anxiety over me leaving. It's higher than I had thought. But we had a nice wee...

Flashback - 10.07.14

I have been inspired by another diarist to put up an entry of photographs from my old photobucket account. This is my most recent shot, after a hair cut a month or two ago. I look glum because ...

Agitated - 09.07.14

I feel really agitated today. I'm bored, but there's nothing I want to do. Hungry, but there's nothing I feel like eating. I'm really short tempered, and everything seems to be getting on my n...

Tuesday - 08.07.14

No word from the Consulate today. Frustrating, but all I can do is wait. I feel as though I have already been a bit of a pest with my recent emails, so I won't harass them for a few days yet. ...

Monday - 07.07.14

What a dull day. I say this a lot, but today was really a waste. I woke up with a foul headache, not a migraine, but very similar to the awful headache that comes with a bad hangover. I got my...

Sunday - 06.07.14

Nothing much doing. I have been reckless with my spending over the last three or four days and I am annoyed at myself. I have next to nothing to show for it, aside from a few cheap items of clo...

02.07.14 - Drunk

I am drunk to the point where I am hiccuping - are bubbles coming out f my mouth? My brother telling stories about the bulimic chick he travlled hrough Europe with, does he realise that was me s...


Book Description

This story is about my life with M.

M and I met on another online diary site in around 2006. He was in New York, USA and I was in New South Wales, Australia. We formed a friendship and spoke nearly every day, whether online or on the phone.

Towards the end of 2008, we realised that we had become more than just friends, and we made plans for me to travel to the US in 2009. So I did.

We spent 6 months in New York, before moving to New Mexico. We got married in New Mexico and I had to return to Australia shortly after.

M followed me to Australia over 4 months later, in mid-2010.

M has now returned to the US, and I will be following him in October 2013. We are going back to New Mexico, where we have a friend to live with at first and a storage unit full of our stuff. We plan to head back to New York to settle within a few years.
