Ben, The Complicated One

Married, gay American-Australian guy currently living in Australia. I am a coder, game builder, healer by profession, softcore gamer, Mac guy, and a Dachshund enthusiast.

I enjoy shouting into the void. Lots of processing feelings, stress, irrational thoughts, and stuff. You've been warned.

Though I’m on my vacation in the USA, I’m already thinking ahead for my next one at this time next year. I’m really looking forward to it.

Someone decided she wanted to wake me up this morning (then she went to sleep...)

Half a Benadryl tonight. Hopefully it’ll be enough to knock me out until the morning. Gotta do a tamale run tomorrow.

Gay relationship stuff

Why is it that my hormones rage while I’m away from my partner.

One last one: It’s warm and humid here. I forgot how humid it gets here. I stepped outside once - that’s enough! I really hope it gets colder here, soon.

Our Thanksgiving is happening over the weekend but I’m getting burgers this Thursday so that’s good, assuming my stomach doesn’t automatically reject it. In almost 2 weeks, my husband will be here. I miss the guy. I can’t wait for him to get a dose of Southern culture and annoyances. Obvious culture shock is coming and it’ll be fun to watch unfold.

Gut has officially started paying me back for eating American food. Yay.

I’m finally getting my sleep schedule organised. Passing 17 time zones is rough.

Finally at home with my family. It’s good to see them and also to meet my brother as well. For the very first time, all my mom’s kids were together in one place. It is all pretty exciting. Now if I can get over jet lag things would be incredible.

Flight anxiety. Gotta hate it. It’s not too bad though. It’ll be worse in the morning though.

Today is International Day of Tolerance. Be exactly who you are and I’ll love you for it.

Luggage, pack yourself! . . . Nope, I still don't have super powers. Maybe I can try black magic next time.

Someone needs to come drag my butt out of bed and maybe make me some blueberry pancakes. Blueberry muffins would also be acceptable.

Back in the USA, I've got an iMac G4 (the cool, lamp-looking one). I want to repurpose it into a modern-ish computer maybe. I don't got the skillz though. :(

The USA is already wearing thin on my nerves and I’m still a week plus away.

I'm working my tail off before I take my long vacation, so I've been a bit quiet. I still love you though! <3

Mr (or Mrs, not sure) Kookaburra is recovering nicely. He hasn't laughed yet (and I don't think he will considering what he's been through) so my nerves are still intact. So far he's well behaved. He'll be off to the vet in a few hours.
