Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?

[Jeraly 4]

Haha - well they have to even out so they can retain their one-a-day average

[Eli the Barrowboy 16]

Yeah - it's depressing isn't it ...

Ok then I say we have a party tonight!!! I will get rid of Jeremy for the evening or something and we can cheer each other up - I feel rubbish at the moment and I am not even waiting for NOA2 from CSC-hell at the moment

I can't make it tonight. I have to work this evening. Catching up on stuff I procrastinated about all week.

[Jeraly 4]

Ewww that sucks!!! Aww - I'll have to sit in on my own drinking wine like a saddo

Moxie is normally up for evenings (or workdays in his case) of debauchery so will have to see what we can figure out

Feeling kinda grumpy today though, courtesy of the service center who shall remain nameless.

Misery loves company. Not a word from the fiancee yet (she had indicated not much chance till Sunday or after); I had resolved to remain out of contact till then, but broke down and sent a love-poem in English & Spanish yesterday. Dunno if I'm more miserable/agitated now than I might be when she finally resumes contact; it's awfully unusual (to me, a Colonist, at least) for a "loving partner" to put a Significant Other in third priority at best -- in this case, behind some ferocious travel/paperwork for her new business and behind some correspondence-school tests that are due this weekend. Maybe it's different in Latin America, or maybe it's because (as she said once) "You're not here with me" (meaning things that WERE actively going on with her would naturally be on her forebrain more than I would). On MY part, I think about her every waking moment, and I constantly envision every aspect of her arrival and acclimation. It distinctly seemed that she simply could not assimilate or did not want to be bothered with the news that our file was heading from the NVC to the consulate; she admitted being very stressed, and I admit that her schedule of activities sounded impossibly daunting to me.

Plus, an e-mail from the consulate just arrived; they have no record of my case. The NVC sent it to them on Jan. 16, so maybe it's a bit early, depending on whether the NVC sent it by sea-turtle express.

What would I do without my friends here?

Haha - TBone I would recommend something stiff to drink and I'm not talking whipped cream

I can kinda relate - I've become quite apathetic about spending time with Jeremy - it just doesn't seem real online and I would much prefer to remember the nice times we've had together in person than build up my hopes that we are going to have some kind of amazing time sat in front of a computer where we can barely interact... ok we can play games and chat but it's gotten kinda old

Moxie - you should tell the auditors in not so many words, to "go away", sneak out to the store on a break then sneak in some red wine in a thermos

Thanks, Aly; you're a sweetie, as usual. How do you overcome your apathy of above?

Mox should stash the auditors in the Odditorium.

[Jeraly 4]

LMAO

Yeah - I think I would go nuts without this place - I seriously don't know how I would have made it and I am not even joking - I love the fact that everyone is in a similar situation and I love the fact that I can experience so many different stories - it allows me to be more empathetic towards Jeremy as well...

As for getting over the apathy - I don't know - I was just quite happily going about my business then about a week or two before Jeremy came over for Christmas I was completely hyper! I just couldn't wait! Previously when he came out in the summer I was miserable because all I could think about was him going home. Then when he left we had a bit of clinginess then I got bored of things online again.

I think we have gone through the distance thing, the online thing and now we are close enough that soon I will be able to move over and be with him all the time, spending every spare second with him online just isn't as important to me as the time we will have in our future together where we can *do* things together instead of pretend.

If you knew me prior to this whole process you would realise how much it has changed me - I was clingy, impatient, temper-tantrum-y... Ok - so I still have my moments but I have calmed a lot purely because I have had to

[Jeraly 4]

MOXIE!! Did those nasty auditors get you?! Wondered where you had vanished to! I sent Jeremy away for the night because I wasn't in the mood to talk - I PM'd TBone our conversation to set him at ease that apathy isn't the end!!

I am also drinking red wine and feeling sleepy

[Jeraly 4]

*reins mox in*

*pets him*

There there - it's not all bad - you have a beautiful woman who loves you and this will all be worth it in the end Work is sent out to annoy us - when Nadya gets there you can concentrate on her, your life together and mayeb hunting down that elusive dream job

It's a time for new beginnings and building dreams so don't lose sight just yet - there is so much to look forward to and so much to be excited about

I was p1$$ed off in work today as well - I would go into details but it would probably be long and boring

[TBoneTX 48,232]

Si man.

Well, dude, you undersell yourself (and should therefore be audited -- mush to the Odditorium!). "We shall not be undersold!" And, of course, Aly's distaffian sentiments continue to be valued, si man.

After having taken a walk, I conclude that the fiancee [1] is/was truly stressed; is a sweet, darling, nonmalicious cutie-pie; [iii] deserves all the respect and understanding available in both hemispheres; and [Four] does love me -- just dig those fotos right here on VJ. Ergothuswithforthly, because I love her, I will not only abide, but also accept, her current situation & wishes, and I shall keep reminding myself of what a 100% change in life she faces vis-a-vis marrying moi and moving to the Estados Unidos, and I shall bear in my forebrain the reality that she wants & needs to accomplish several things in her life that do not arise selfishly, but that are good for her now & long-term, and I shall morefurtherly tell her that she can have most of the 6-month visa-validity period to do whatever she needs or wants to do in Ecuador before coming here, and I shall resolve to quit composing run-on sentences. Si, man.

Si, man? Revise, man? No, man?

Sounds good to me My moving date is pretty set but I am looking forward to normality - I can't wait to just turn around to Jeremy and say "hey - you fancy going out to dinner tonight?" or "You want to watch a movie or would you prefer tv?" or even "Hey - you should hang out with your friends tonight - I could use a girly night in" where that would actually be special not just the norm

So, your answer is "si, man"? I like your envisionments!
