I've started I do believe about 5 of these so far and haven't managed to get past just a few lines. The last of which includes me trying to figure out if I would ever be able to handle a polygamist relationship. After lots of independent though, and various conversations I think it would only work if it was a group sort of setting. If it wasn't just me and a bunch of wives for one person, but a general commune of people and their others. Although I'm pretty sure I could handle having a harem, but again I don't think it would work if they all had to be only mine. That's just not how I work I don't think. Also I don't think I'm enough of a girl to end up hanging around with all the other wives unless they were complete tomboys too.
Recently I went and .... and again I apparently failed at posting, as well as remembering where my train of thought was going.
OH wait here it is again
I went and saw the movie Dear John, which is kind of a chick flick yes, but Charity wanted to go and I think the main guy in it is rather hot. So this weekend Charity and I went and saw this movie, and while I'm not typically a war movie person at all, it was a decent movie. It also got me thinking.
The general premise of the movie is that John (protagonist) is home on leave for 2 weeks when he meets Savannah (romantic interest) and falls for her, but has to go back to the Army so they agree to write letters to each other for the last year of his service. Well then, just before the end of his term, 9/11 happens and the rest of his unit decides to re-up, and he is left making the difficult choice of whether he sticks with his unit, and serves his country for another term, or whether he gives it up to go home with his woman. So naturally he re-ups and then the girl eventually marries someone else, and he throws himself into this Army career and so on and so on. After the movie Charity and I were discussing that general mentality and situation. Charity told me that right after 9/11 Saddler considered enlisting and doing the whole armed services route, but Charity put her foot down about that one. Which got me thinking about the amount of people I know that went into the armed services or are currently thinking about it, and while I don't think I have an unusual amount of people I know that went into it, or me it still seems like a fair amount for me since I'm kind of against people I like being shot at. Don't get me wrong here, I have the utmost respect or anyone who can voluntarily chose that life, I know I couldn't handle it, but I'm against the people I know and love going away, and possibly never coming back. Which of course circled around to me talking about Blake and how he wanted to go into Armed Services right outta high school and how I was completely dead set against it. And then I realized that Blake never ended up in it even after we had broken up and were into the non-talking phases of our fucked up friendship-y-thingy. Which of course prompted me (because I'm stupid I think) to message Blake and ask why he never enlisted. We had a nice and short 4 message chat about why he didn't, and why I was curious, and currently we have a very pleasant sort of parting from the whole thing. Which has so very rarely happens for us.
and this isn't finished yet but it's taken me three days to get this far so I figure some if better than none :-D
