One week and I get on an airplane to start my four month adventure vacation in Afghanistan.

Neurosis- a relatively mild personality disorder typified by excessive anxiety or indecision and a degree of social or interpersonal maladjustment.

A one-time friend who I've been chatting with lately described me as neurotic. I've never thought of myself as neurotic, but in my defense I tend to think of myself how I am at work (decisive, always) when I think of how I am at...

I'm grazing the member blogs, 'cause that's what I do, and I run across a member who's posted this:

"I love Christmas... Because of the gifts... send me some.... please..."

And the previous blog:

"I finally got my wish list set up... give it a look... it is located on my profile page.... kisses "

Oddly, I can respect the shameless way this person...

Wow, big week. Well, in my little world anyway. I tested for promotion (which I am totally and completely indifferent to) and I found out this afternoon that I'm deploying at the beginning of the year. Does being more excited about the deployment than the possible promotion indicate some mental imbalance?

I want to be a nomad...

I've been counting the days until my last duty day in the Air Force. Literally. There's an app for that. I'm down to 482 days. And I've got the bill issue sorted. The Harley is paid off and the VW will be paid off in September. The plan was/is to buy a place in Anchortown almost as soon as...

"Nice tits."

That is the comment a cretin left for one of the photo sets in MR. Not that he's wrong, but really.

Don't...

I'm a lethargic, indifferent fuck. It happens. I keep waiting for Autumn and it never comes. the rumor on the street is that Tuesday is the big day, but if it's still 96 degrees, it ain't Autumn. When/if the weather breaks I'll probably find myself more interested in leaving my apartment for reasons other than necessity. Until then I cower from the sun like the...

Well, I got back from Florida on Friday afternoon and was greeted by hot. 110 degrees hot. Stupid hot. I've come to a conclusion. This place depresses me. I thought I was just homesick (I was, and am, homesick, but not "just") the three weeks between leave in Alaska and the trip to Florida, but I found myself in a good mood the whole trip,...

So, I'm down in Florida doing the Air Force thing. Typical of who I deal with on a regular basis, the plan has changed. Which doesn't really surprise me. A plan (schedule, whatever) is just something to deviate from in their opinion. Meh, 579 days. Unless...

I put in for a job in Germany, and this is the only thing that will keep me in...

If I could retire tomorrow I would. Just sayin'.

Gah. I'm so homesick right now.

I'm procrastinating. I should pack, but don't want to. I've never wanted to leave less in my life.

21 months.
