Going on a spur of the moment trip to Norfolk to see my friend Jake before he deploys...
So I've come to the realization that I no longer *really* want to cross-rate to become a linguist. It was my goal when I was 16, and I just got it into my stubborn head that I would accomplish my goal - but I don't want to anymore.
I don't want to be an analyst, and a linguist is just a glorified analyst. I want...

No worries, everything always works out. ANd don't feel bad about switching what you want to do, you have to remeber that this your life, and you can do whatevah!

*hug*Everyone in my office was depressed today - Nat found out something when she went to the doctor today, but she won't tell us what's wrong. Tiff is upset about moving to NC and getting out of the Navy.. and Andrew is freaking out because he goes to South Korea in 3 months.

I'm back in Maryland. Whew. It's been a long day.
I am soooooo tired, all I want to do is sleep.. but I promised Nat that I'd keep her son occupied while she shoots the softball game tonight. Oy.
I'm just glad I'm back and my so-called "vacation" is over. I need a massage - my back and shoulders are so fucking tense right now.

We need to hang out so I can get you into the SGCC group. Coffee or lunch or whatever works....drop me a line.
Happy/sad day.
It's my last full day in Texas.. back to Maryland tomorrow.
I'm at my dad's house, he's making a big breakfast for me and my brother and stepmom.. it smells really good, and I'm going to eat, but I've been nauseous and throwing up a lot the past few days, so no guarantees that it will stay down.

I agree, car insurance is a huge scam no matter the price. The worst part about it being a scam is that it's a legal scam, and on the 1 in 10000 chance you'll actually need it, the insurer fucks around with you so that they'll have only a small monetary responsibility.
It's an industry of monsters, truly.

I am so glad I didn't stay in San Angelo and work some minimun wage job while mooching enough money from family to attend Angelo State University.. life would be this mind-numbingly dull ALL THE TIME.
Don't get me wrong, I love my friends here, and it's nice being with my family. But it's boring a large portion of the time. I sleep in every...

I went to the DEP meeting last night and talked to all the scared kids who are about to go to boot camp. It was interesting. I met one guy (Joe) who is really cool, and he's about to go to boot camp on the 22nd. We went running last night, and I'm actually using his computer right now.

Today was nice. I went to the library, spent hours reading, then took a long nap, then talked to Kathy and my sister Beka on the phone. I really want to go PT, but it's dark outside and my knee still hurts really bad. That's the only damper on my otherwise beautiful day.

Wow. You have sort of an embarrassment of riches thing going on.
I hope you are able to sort it all out in a way that leads to greater happiness.
Sorry about the knee. My hip is giving me major shit. We can cry on each other's shoulders.

*wipes forehead* WHEW! Thank God I didn't profess MY undying love for you. Then I would have just been clumped into that group of guys like all the rest of them (Though I doubt I would have qualified as the "good boyfriend type". I will say I've missed you. Things are a little less aggrevating than usual (and oddly I miss that). Few people can get under my skin and I guess I see it as a good thing (at least I feel around you right?) I tried calling you 4 times, but I ended up chickening out. My grandmother's dying and I just wasn't real good for consoling words (besides you seemed to be getting along pretty well with your friends down there so I figured "if it ain't broke..."). On a lighter note. I loved Must Love Dogs. For the first time (in a while) I found a character in a movie that reminds me of me (bless John Cusak). Anyway, come back safe. Come back alive.
So the service was this morning. It went well. I cried when they played taps and when I read the eulogy, but I made it through ok.
I spent the rest of the day sleeping.
Now Michael and I are at my dad's house. I'm glad he's around, he makes me feel happy.
I went to see Alby today. He was my first real boyfriend,...

After a week of putting it off, I finished writing the eulogy.
Now all I have to do is get everything ready tomorrow morning and get through it without breaking down, and this funeral business will be pretty much done.
I'm tired of San Angelo. Small-town West Texas is a different world, and since nobody has anything exciting to do, they spend their time gossiping....

I lived in San Angelo for four years while I was in college there, and I know what you mean by the small town philosophy there. It was a good experience while I was there and now that I am an adult with a good job moving back wouldn't be too bad, then again it'd mean making all new friends there again too.
My friends from home are so different from my friends in Maryland...
I'm at Dawn's house right now. She's so different from Natalie, but I have fun with both of them, proving that I am upper class white trash.

I'm feeling a lot better now that I'm home with my family. I'm at my dad's house now waiting on supper to be ready, my friend Michael is here with me ...
