just so everybody knows, i am a volunteer firefighter. they're turning me into a tough chick. well maybe not, maybe they're just bringing it out making me work hard. last night was drill, and it was actually fun. we burned a car at the town tower, and i actually got to be on nozzle puttin it out.
for the past year, i was an "outside firefighter" (exterior only) because my asthma wouldn't allow me to carry our old air packs. they were these huge aluminum things that weighed half what i did, and i just couldn't carry one and swing an axe at the same time.
now we have nice light carbon wrapped bottles, and MAN am i havin some fun!
i have been all over the damn place. search & rescue, nozzle, once in a while i get stuck running the pumps, but hey i got good at it while i was exterior only so that is all good.
last night was just fun, though. i was loud and obnoxious (yeah, what's the difference, eh?), likely because i had a GREAT weekend, and i was too exhausted to enjoy it until yesterday. yes, i finally am catching up on my sleep! it is a beautiful thing.
anyway, we burned that car. there were buckets of oil in the car too, which got EVERYWHERE, including on my gear, face, all over the damn place. i had to SCRUB when we got back to the hall, and i still need to wash my gear. i still have junk in my fingernails that just doesn't come out no matter how much i wash my hands. it will be gone when i shower, and i will have to wait until next week to get good & dirty again.....
oh, yeah... going to pale girl's house for dinner tonight. i get to meet one of her new friends, and her new friend gets to meet pale girl's woman
i'll call the friend spott, cuz that is what she prefers... too many people with her real name in the world, i suppose. i got to talk to spott for a while last night on aim, and she seems pretty cool. she seems like she could use friends like pale girl and i are friends (only maybe without the sexual interaction). girl's gotta let somebody in. that's all i have to say...
