okay. it's been awhile, but i'm not exactly doing anything else right now. first and foremost, ROTC starts in the fall. i'm really stoked about this. i'm all fired up and eager to take part, but being an army man is also going to entail talking about this with my uncle mike. now for those of you who didn't know, i'm doing ROTC to be an officer. and my goal is to make it through ranger school as well. so not just an officer, but a ranger officer. now, uncle mike was in the army, way back in the day. more specifically, brigadier general michael sullivan, provost marshall of the 82nd airborne was in the army back in the day. talk about having something to live up to. i'm really not looking forward to that conversation......
on the next note, i'm single and in search of female type companionship. that's pretty much a given. but when people start pointing this out to me(my boss, my roomie, david, etc.) it begins to make me think maybe i do. don't get me wrong. i'm all for women, but i've had sex and don't miss it. it's great and all but not my primary motivator. i miss the attention. the company. the unconditional acceptance. you know, the squishy stuff. call me a whiny little bitch if you will, but there it is.
my house now has seven people and four cats in it. that's a whole lot of bodies. love them all to death, but the quiet time i had once enjoyed is now non-existant. i know i'm all spontaneous and people-oriented and whatnot, but i do like being able to sit in a room and be undisturbed for hours on end. just so i can have some peace and quiet to read, sleep, whatever. i may take david's dad up on his offer to sleep on the couch at some point. it'd be nice to be off the radar for awhile. and it's not like hanging around david's family is a chore, even with them being mormons. sam and nancy seem to take people as they meet them and that's cool. sam2 isn't as obnoxious as i'd thought either. and chris, while a bit slow, is still a good kid. he has a sense of fairness and general good spiritedness that i find refreshing.
hmmmmmm, that's a load off my mind. i think i'll leave it at that and let you all(whoever actually reads this thing) ponder my ponderings at your leisure. have a nice night, and remember to tip the bathroom attendant.
