It's quite strange for me to write here. I have to get my head out of blogging for work. This does not have to be about digital democracy or civic engagement.

It can be, if you want it to be.

But maybe we'd both rather it wasn't.

So Life. I am barely here because my job is internet based and sometimes I feel like I need to disconnect. I really miss certain people from here because of this *cough*@shaine*cough*. I've been learning about being grown up, trying to buy a house....this hasn't gone well. If you're interested it's below.

So my boyfriend and I are buying a house together. We found a nice place within our budget. It needed a lot of work but we figured we would just do it slowly over time. We're not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I work for a not-for-profit and the boy is a freelance sound engineer. But we'd got a deposit and we figured it was time to stop throwing money away on rent and actually throw it into buying a place.

We've spent the last three months in the stress of solicitors and mortgages and getting information together only to have the vendor, who is a business, to pull out when we're a week away from exchanging contracts. Now we've lost a bunch of money and have to start over again. To top it off the property market in our area has gone insane and we're not able to afford anything like what this place was. It's a real fucker and I'm swinging between pissed off and sad.

C'est la vie eh.

Otherwise work is...interesting. I'm not sure still it's really working out the way I thought it was. I feel like I'm not doing enough, but maybe this is just charitable work. I feel like this is an area as well which a bunch of SG-ers would be interested in, so it's sort of sad I can't tell you more about it. Needless to say I should be travelling a lot more next year, fingers crossed. Possibly to Malawi, Liberia and Uganda (Anyone watched The Book of Mormon?). Strasbourg at the end of this month. Maybe India in January.

Hopefully I'll have some fun photos to post from these trips.

In other life stuff, I have started crocheting amigurumi bakemono. They are super cute. I do feel like I am becoming an old woman though.

Aaaaaannnd I went to see Thor: The Dark World on Sunday. I may be in a loving committed relationship but...helllllloooo Loki. My.God.

Over and out.

Sorry to hear about the house stress. I've been going through something similar although on the selling. Why does everything move at such a slow pace and so uncertain? Hope it works for you guys.
