Mascot Roadkill Mark 2

So that was probably for the best...

As you may have noticed/been involved with, everything on the Ass-no-Ryu.com blogs died a horrible death this week so I've not been able to blog. On the one hand this is bad, because I have many lovely pictures of Sammie to share with everyone, on the other it's very very good, because a generous handful of not very fun things have happened this week.

If you just want the good news, Sammie pictures can be found here, here, here, here and here. She's a very cute puppy, except when she tries to poo on the bedroom floor.

If you want the bad news, the meeting with the lawyer this week didn't exactly go well. It's probably the worst kept secret in this group of friends that D and I intend to get married pretty soon so that we can actually live in the same country, but guess what, we've hit another problem. -_- D has another two years to wait before he can apply for American citizenship proper and apparently despite being a legal permanent resident in the US, if we were to get married the law still wouldn't allow us to live together. Yeah, go and figure that one. Yes sir, of course you can live in our country, but your wife, who has no intention of committing crimes/sponging off benefits/being a nuisance to society? Nooooo, we don't want her. -_-

So I'm quite depressed. Not only do I not have a teacher training course to be on, I'm not going to be able to live here for at least another two years. -_- Oh and did I mention that the paperwork alone for this is going to cost $750 at least? -_- That's before we even think about how much two years' worth of flights and a wedding are going to cost. -_- I'm thinking about putting a Paypal button on here and being like that woman who started an internet campaign to have people pay off her credit cards. Do you have lots of money? Do you like seeing other people being happy? Donate money to the Katy and Daniel are mired in bills and bad luck fund!

I think the lawyer we visited summed it up quite well when he asked us after our initial enquiries, "So, is there anything else I can not help you with?" -_-
