...although not necessarily in that order 
Well, he has been gone three weeks today - it hardly seems that long, but at the same time seems much longer. I'm madly working as much as possible - I have three jobs on the go at the moment, although it still looks as though I'll have to take out some sort of student loan or work 27 hours a day to be able to afford to do anything once I'm over there! I'm *very* excited though - yay for travelling!!
I got a car 
which is very very exciting - her name's Mathilda (as in 'Waltzing' 
) - she's the one we drove around the country in...if she can handle 12000 k's in 12 days then she's good enough for me!!
I've got tickets on hold to get over to the states - if how long people spend in transit could be used as an indication of their feelings for someone, well, he should be deeply moved! THREE DAYS!!! Three days to get from Melbourne to Boston! Ouch! 
Yes, that's right, I'm rowing over
Ah well, it'll be great once I get over there - he's working out an apartment at the beach (in winter!) with a mate, and they're all set to have me move in with them So yay for being busy and for four and a half months flying by!

12000 k's in 12 days? Most I ever did was about 4½ in 7...
Good luck with finding you way across the oceans!

Yeah, it was pretty full on!
If I can't get the flight I'm planning on swimming - it's definately going to happen, one way or the other!

3 days is nothing! I spent 8 months travelling out here on the First Fleet!

ER, I knew you were old, but had no idea you were *that* old!

Not only that, but he was old when he got on the boat in the first place!

*shakes her cane at the young whippersnappers*
Stop making fun of us old people! Why when I was your age, I was your age!
The sad thing is that age sort of creeps up on you when you least expect it... you're going along, having a good time, living you life and all of a sudden you realize you're *OLD*. And getting older.

Making fun? Why, I wouldn't *dream* of doing such a thing! No, no, I was just... complimenting ER on his longevity! To think of all of the amazing things he must have seen... though that whole business of that carpenter with the long hair must've given him a bit of a turn...

I met the carpenter once. I'd heard that he could turn water into 
, so I went along to see if he could also turn it into 
or . Bit of a fraud if you ask me, he didn't even pretend to attempt it!
