10 days until Iceland

WOW!

Time seems to get away from me... every time I promise to begin updating on a regular basis, something happens and it takes me a while to get back into the swing of things.
My new car.

First major change - I've moved from London to Norwich (about 2.5hrs north of London). I've got a nice house, and I now have a car as well... new job, and in a few weeks I'll be bringing some little bunnies into my little family. There will be many pictures uploaded of all these new things soon, I promise.

Secondly, I will be jetting off to Iceland in about 10 days. I'll be there for about a week and a half, seeing the sights and meeting loads of gamers who normally spend their days in an alternative universe traversing the galaxy and generally creating mayhem in space. (Exciting I know) It'll be my first overseas trip since Christmas.

Which brings me to my next point. Space Politics is ridiculous... and seems to be run entirely by men. Now there's nothing wrong with being a gamer. There's nothing wrong with leading other enthusiasts to battle or being in a seat of power in a game about spaceships. The issue comes about when people can't separate a game from reality. This past week has been spent doing damage control so that no one gets their face punched in while we are holidaying in Iceland. I tell you, if women were in charge of these space politics, there wouldn't be any issues of face punchings. It'd be a simple matter of, "we aren't speaking to her" and everyone would move on. Women excel at manipulation and mind games. I don't know why these gamers don't utilize it.

I think I've picked a dress for the charity dinner in Iceland. It arrived today, so I'll be checking it tonight (making sure it fits correctly & looks nice - otherwise it gets sent back to the store).

My YouTube videos have momentarily stopped also. Disappointing I know. With all the moving, the camera is packed & I haven't found it while unpacking yet. Soon, I promise. There will definitely be footage from Iceland... as there are some very cool activities & events I will be attending. I'm also crossing my fingers that I will be lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights).

It's coming up to 7 months since I left Australia & it's all going well. I would love to promise to be more regular with posts but I don't want to let anyone down. I will keep posting when I can.. I swear.
