Hey again. Don't ask why I keep updating - I guess I'm hoping that I'll find a group or something here that fascinates me, aside from you nice people.
(Shameful Secret: I am listening to Reba McEntire's Fancy on repeat. I love this song.)
Today, I worked in the clinic, which was much better than moving boxes outside in the heat. Conveniently, I was sent to work in the TMC on the very day that I was supposed to go to the Education Center - by which I mean, the only day working in the clinic would be inconvenient. Thanks, Army! I love you, too.
Tomorrow, I have an eight-mile road march - of course, those are fun. I also need to put all my pins back on my class As, but frankly, I don't feel like it right now. I plan on getting a lesbianfantastic haircut this weekend, as if my hair isn't short enough. I'm lazy, and buns look like piles of dog shit on the back of people's heads. Shut up. >:[
Here. I got my ARBEIT MACHT FREI sweater in today from Neighborhoodies . I'm not sure when I decided this, but for a few years now, ARBEIT MACHT FREI (or ARBEIT MACHT PIEFACE) has been a meaningful (though possibly pretentious and morally questionable) phrase for me. Translated from German, it means "work means freedom", a shortened version of the phrase "Work will set you free", a sort of play on "Truth will set you free". ARBEIT MACHT FREI is known for being the words built into the wrought-iron gates of Auschwitz. I say! What a sad, painful irony for the people in these camps - you know, they come in, see this, and they're like "Oh, you know, if I work hard enough, maybe I'll get out of here, that'd be nice." Well - they weren't wrong, exactly - after all, dead is not exactly here, which is why I'm sure the Nazis thought it was hilarious. For me, it isn't just a nod to a rather tragic and sad note of our history, but also a melodramatic reference to the relationship I've had so far with employment, and alternately, freedom. I briefly considered making [ ARBEIT MACHT FREI ] a permanent addition by getting it tattooed across my back, but my Goat would likely kill me.

trevallion:
Whoa, that's pretty neat.
ziricote:
Ironic for sure, on the plus side the top looks good on you. I seriously doubt there's any group here interesting enough to keep someone here...At least I can't find one.
