Zwabbe's Rants

I guess i could post here saying that im back from the middles east or something..

Hey im back from the middle east!

Because foxy doesn't keep tabs on her friends :p


1. First Name: Nathan

2. Age: 19

3. Location: Bondi Beach, Sydney. Althought i seem to spend most my time training in other cities or sailing the high seas!

4. Occupation: I'm a sailor in the Royal Australian Navy.  My primary role is an electronics technician, I maintain a Tracking Radar and a set of Navagation Aids.

5. Partner: Single

6. Kids: no

7. Brothers/Sisters: I have an older sister in the Airforce. And 4 Step sisters and 2 step brothers in various places all over the country

8. Pets: Sadly none at the moment... I would really like to have some animal companions but as im in the navy and go away for long periods of times i wouldn't feel responsible if i had pets and then left them with someone else for long periods of time.

9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life: The biggest thing in my life atm is my up coming deployment to Iraq, What with all the training and sorting your life out a year in advance. Renewing everything like rego, house lease etc.. making sure money is sorted for a year worth of bills..etc...    Also my roomate is moving out so i have a house to myself soon so that is pretty big.


10. Where and for what did you go to school for?: I dropped out of high school in year ten, then rest of my training has been done under the navy. Im currently a Cert 4 in Electronic Engineering, looking at a diploma.. But Secretly I don't really care about that qualification because I would rather work with animals or do professional photography

11. Parents?: Thank god i don't live near them... Nah i love my parentels :p

12. Who are some of your closest friends?:  I never really ever developed close friends thought my early years in life, But now i have some very good friends both in the navy and in the furry world. Thanks guys!

Go hire a movie called Planet Terror everyone!

Okay without telling to much of a story. Here is whats going on for me for a while, and why im going to become very uncontactable.

May: Im going to be a couple of courses around the place. Including melbourne, but while in melbourne dont expect me to visit anyone as i wont have the time.

June till 2009.

I will be seagoing again. For a while just running out of sydney on short trips for a couple of months and then I will vanish of the face of the earth.

....

Like i said i cant tell too much about it, im not sure what i can say but I will let people know whats going on when i can.

Rivfur: Okay i have said i wont be at rivfur because i was going to be in perth at the time. Im no longer going to perth but still count me as not going to rivfur. If i can get the chance to come i will try my best to get a last minute flight up, as it would be awesome to see everyone. But still count me as someone not attending rivfur

.....

So basically I will let yas all know whats going on when i can. But i will become somewhat uncontable in the near future.


Furstralia: Details of Furstralia will be posted in the forums.

Removed for my own reasons. Thanks for all the nice comments guys, but im gonna leave it at this.

so yeah Foxy posted this thing on her journal were if you are the one of the first 5 people to reply and you go and do the same thing in your journal she will give you something. Wether its a personally made artworks, or its something from your collection. Ie: a mix cd, a book ...etc...etc

And i know what foxies snowleopard collection is like so i was straight in on that..like bam! 5 seconds! just like that...

So yeah be first of 5 to reply and take up the share the love challenge and Expect some love from me....what, not in that way!...maybe...

Yeah and drop a hint what you like too so i got some idea!

Check out my supa Haiwee Gay as theme!


That is all

Hmmm thought i would have a gander on here. Possibly gandering a bit emo, but what the hell...that and typing without sense at all. So start frowning!!! My spark is dieing, and im pretty sure im still way too young to loose the spark. Went out tonight after my cousin visiting from melbourne dragged me out. And i just couldn't be bothered. Kept on getting told to liven up all night, which doesn't really help, just makes me less lively.

But really, i think its just sydney, work and what i get up too these days, just doesn't leave much does it!... I really really miss Brisbane and Perth. If i had the choice i think i would happily move to brisbane right now, no offence perth but you really are far far away! Perth and Brissy have the best community ever. My few weeks i spent at rivfur were the best ive had in years. And the 2 months i spent in perth matched up just as well. I know it was mostly just the holiday bug for rivfur, im sure you guys don't get up to as much as you did then, but im sure its more then here. But for perth at least i can say it was normal sort of time, as i was working there as well and it was just the usual sort of happenings going on there. Such great people and good times.

Great news and Terrible news at the same time! Seems like im getting an apartment very very soon. Wish i could have been a fur house like the one you guys have just moved into in brissy *Jealous* ... But for now im on my own till my navy mate gets back from perth, he might move into the second room. Getting a place is awesome cause finally i get out of these barracks. Then i can invite furs over for shenanigans, if they ever make the effort that is :F ...

But this also means something else huge to me, Its locking me in. A lease, a peace of paper that binds me here. There is a defence clause  that lets me  cancel a lease incase of defence reasons.. I dont know how that goes if i opt for my other option which is perth. Its a very tempting option to take, apart from the 4000ks to the rest of the world....

Oh well, in the mean time i just go to work and be bored.. then come home and be bored. .My wow addiction is dieing, as the peeps i used to play with have all diminished... And my artisitic side is dieing with the spark.. No photos, no arts...nothing...meh

Well Keep a smile on for me everyone. *hugs*

I never write in this! But seeing as WoW is down for maintenance, Why not! Something Missing! No Frank, Says that little advertisment just to the right there!... See thats why I don't write here because I talk shit so much! Erm but I'll try and give some news.

Random Words!..News...New! oh yeah New Job!

I changed workplace (Still in the navy)... But somewhere else, I didn't think it was possible to get an even lazier job then my last..But it is.. I am what we call a TIR maintainer (A radar) ... So In my new job i maintain the TIR... But, There is no TIR cause its a computer program pretending to be a TIR.. Im working at a training facility for warfare officers.. So I don't do much. Total work so far after being there for three days. I made cut out 14 sqaures of foam for the filters! Woooo...

Anything else...oh yeah! Perth!

Thats right perth clowns! Watch out!... Currently im all set to come back to perth for November and half of December. Unfortunatly some dingo (not mentioning names..But lets just say he's JETting around in the ride i used to hijac for perth) ... So I have no idea how im gonna make the huge drive from the navy base for meets.. I might have to buy a bomb...

Harry potter! Harry potter! Harry potter!

Stupid book shops sold out, didnt they... So I've been kidnapping a copy from a work mate while hes not reading it.. So far made it about chapter 5... I've sworn a promise to vividly slaughter anyone who ruins the ending and frolock in the blood pool!!! The other day silly bittens on WoW thought it would be fun to say on general what happens.. No ones ever seen an elf run to the flight master so fast! Then another bitten who i play with started to spoil it over vent. No ones ever seen headsets fly away from heads so fast! Why do people have such an ambision to spoil things for people.

WoW

Seeeing as im only writing in here cause WoW is down, why not talk about it.. Ive started all over again on a new server because i wanted to play pvp and play with some work mates i knew.. Its alot harder on pvp, expecially one which is so old that 80% of the gamers are already 70's... Really hard to get groups together for low stuff.. But in two weeks ive managed lvl 32 with some pretty nice gear. Also playing alliance now ,so learning all the areas as a lowbie.. Meh thats enough Wow

Anyway Adious ya clowns.. hope you enjoyed the miss spelling

Oh wait! I got another bit of news... My evition papers went in yesterday so Hopefully i get evicted soon.! Yes Evicted, Time to get out of the big brothers barracks and into my own home.. The story behind getting evicted is we get Full Rental allowance instead of half! And there giving it away at the moment you to a government error! Win! Thanks for paying taxes Noobs!!!

Yeah thats about it

Just a quick one to say, LOOK at my new screen .. Its huge!!! (although technically its a HDTV)

So there's all this hype around the defence forces these days about retention , Apprently It's hard to keep us in or something So they are giving us Pay rises and some other things you don't really ever get to experience because it doesn't actually effect 95% of the defence population. But I think its the little things that they do that cause the problems in people staying in. (Warning Rant incoming)

All I asked for this year was 2 weeks of the whole year garuanteed free, And you would think, seeing that I worked christmas last year. I'm even happy to work christmas this year. you would think that i could those two weeks, but no. behold, Have a course in perth! I mean its not hard is it... And I must admit, someone there sort of cares. My Career manager kept those two weeks for me free, as I asked. But some other invisible person who controls your life noticed I had this spare time! Gosh! can't have that! put him on a course.. With a bit of luck my career manager can pull me off it.

Its the little things that make me angry at the navy, Im happy with the money and all the other little quircks they give you. But try having a life! ... I guess its my fault for joining the navy in the first place....

And another thing! A cap on milk!! really! ... Here have a ten thousand dollar pay rise but we can only afford two bottles of milk for a 100 person facualty...Har Har Har...

................

On other news, Macadamia nuts are awesome and who thought yo'yos could be so much fun...

Bai!

Okay so everyone is all nag, whine moan. "Why don't you ever post journals?" "Should post something." "We wanna know whats going on?" and noise along that sort of lines. Pretty much the reason why is I don't have much to say. But, look, I will give it a go, how about that!

here it comes....


Well I'm back from my work trip to Perth. It was alright over there, did a bit a work had a bit of fun meeting all the Perth furs. Thank you Perth Furries for the open armed Hospitality. Perth was pretty cold, and fuel was expensive! but other then that it was worth going to.

Well, Sydney guys, I'm back now, so drop a line and we can catch up!



And thats all for now because I'm lazy...
