"Time flies when you're having fun".

I honestly have no idea who said that, but despite not exactly having any form of the word "fun" in the past few months, time has flown by so quickly since I left uni in June. Sure, I've been on 2 holidays, which lasted for a few days each, and I had my birthday party, and did a few gigs; and attended some unsuccessful interviews, and that really is all I've done since leaving.

More and more, I've been beginning to feel that Belfast is now just a waiting room, because I'm still waiting on moving to North Carolina. And, I think it's looking more likely that I will move in December, rather than in May - which is obviously great news for me. But, there is still a lot of confusion and paperwork that needs to be sorted before I can do that, legally of course. I'm really not willing to risk anything at this point, so that I can safely get a permanent residence once I'm married to Colette - rather than having to fight for one and risk getting deported. Hopefully I'll sort that all out this week.

With regards to what I've been up to the past few weeks since last updating, well, not much. I've been in the house mostly, due to the fact that I'm really not wanting to spend any money at all, so I can save some money for when I go to the US. So, I'm usually by the computer, just reading things and researching about moving to the US. It's all I can do really, especially if there's no point in me looking for jobs anymore now.

And looking ahead, I have a job interview on Wednesday, which I have a good chance of getting simply because it's the same place where my dad works. So, that's leading to another dillemma - on whether I should apply for a 6 month visa to America, with possibly not getting the chance to work, or just simply work at home, earn money, and wait a few more months. But, at this stage, I really feel like I can't wait any longer.

Life is complicated.
