My brother is in the Air Force, and just got orders to Misawa Air Base in Japan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misawa,_Aomori He will be going in August 2011 and I am already really excited and am going to start saving for a trip there. It's kind of frustrating because we're already going to Oklahoma in the summer of 2011 for my friend's wedding and I know it will cost a lot for just the plane tickets. It just means we'll have to save for probably another year to be able to go to Misawa.
WHY are plane tickets so retarded expensive?????
I really want to go to Japan and always have. I want to enjoy my youth but I feel pressured to do shit like buy a car and save for a house. I know I need those things too, but I would much rather have a trip instead, as impractical as that is.
I really need to start my job ASAP already. I am bored and cranky and tired of being poor. I know I've probably posted about this before but it has taken SO LONG for me to be able to start enjoying my life and I'm still getting held up by issues like money. I'm just not like most people I guess, I want to be comfortable my entire life so I worry about stuff like owning a house and saving for retirement now even though I'm young.
I should really try to calm down though, worrying about not living life fast enough probably isn't doing me any good. Sigh.
