Title: Baron.B.Gone
Post by: BaronConall on May 21, 2010, 12:38:18 AM: Okay, I fly out at 7am tomorrow, going to Sydney.

I have my interview at the U.S Consulate on the 25th (24th for the States) where I sit down and answer a bunch of questions and the Consulate either accepts or rejects my Visa...

So...

WISH ME LUCK!!!

Be back in about a week (at the latest)!!!

Oh, and I'll be sure to take pics. See if I can't get to the Opera House ;)

Post by: Aluminator (Kit) on May 21, 2010, 10:09:41 AM: Wait, really? You're leaving me with all these crazies for a week? What am I going to do without your particular brand of crazy!?

Haha... good luck ^_^

Post by: Coal Kropotkin on May 21, 2010, 10:26:19 AM: Good luck, dude! Have fun! And I really hope they accept the visa, we need more American RAFians! But, remember... You want to move to Tennessee, not Texas. :P
Title: Re: Baron.B.Gone
Post by: KitsuneMarie on May 21, 2010, 10:51:47 AM: No way, Codes! You should just move here too! It'd be aweeeeesome!

To be fair, Tennessee is way prettier, but joining the Texas bandwagon is fun too!

Post by: Coal Kropotkin on May 21, 2010, 11:10:55 AM: But I can't afford to! D: And since no RAFians take my plight to live for free in their house, in doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon.... :'(

:P Cody, you can at least come visit me when I get my own place. The Chicago bandwagon needs more people. ^_^

Good luck, Baron!

Post by: BaronConall on May 22, 2010, 04:32:02 AM: Curry place has free wifi, so I figured that I'd use the iTouch to update y'all :-D

In Sydney, FREEZING cold, bought some gloves (and a Deadpool comic, haha) and I've found a place to stay (Yes, Immigration gave us such little notice that I flew here without knowing where I was going to sleep... :P)

I've taken some photos and for some reason the trains here are double-decker... Go figure :-s

Thanks for the well wishes :-D

Talk to y'all soon!

Post by: Dameg on May 22, 2010, 07:06:23 AM: Merde, Baron. (It's a French word to say both "****" and a kind of "good luck", but don't tell me "thanks" or it won't work ;))
Title: Re: Baron.B.Gone
Post by: BaronConall on May 22, 2010, 07:34:44 AM: Believe it or not, my youth was spent looking up foreign swear words, so I know what 'merde' means...

The same as Scheiße xD
Title: Re: Baron.B.Gone
Post by: Coal Kropotkin on May 23, 2010, 10:55:27 AM: Baron, I have to know, what temp. do y'all consider FREEZING? :P

Also, again, break a leg, man!!! :D

Baron, I have to know, what temp. do y'all consider FREEZING? :P

For me? 12 degrees... Celsius.

According to the converter, that's 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit?

Of course, I'm finally married, but I've also spent the last few months driving around Texas, helping the new missus w/ her job with Texas Parks and Wildlife. I'm actually writing this on the Holiday Inn Internet, but I should be able to finly update everyone next week (last week of work)!

Sorry for keeping everyone in the dark for so long, but I WILL be back soon!!!

Post by: estrid on August 20, 2010, 10:54:39 PM: congrats! oh and ur gf has an AWESOME job! whats she do exactly?
Title: Re: Baron.B.Gone
Post by: BaronConall on August 21, 2010, 09:30:58 AM: It's actually a summer job :-b
She's working for Texas Parks and Wildlife, counting Prarie Dog towns and monitoring Burrowing Owl and Ferugionos Hawk populations to see which are still flourishing and which are dead due to poisoning/plowing/plague/etc.

It's pretty cool, except you spend 12hrs/day in a car and I'm used to moving about :-b
