Hooah
Hmm... I guess now that I have the time, I should update this thing...
1: Joined the Army.
So, seeing as there was nothing left in Ohio to keep me alive, I buckled out and joined the US Army. I'm now a disciplined, physically and mentally tough soldier standing ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States in close combat... And all that jazz... I worked my ass off at Ft. Benning and made it through Basic, and am now stuck in limbo here at beautiful Ft. Gordon, waiting on my classes that seem will never come. It's rather discouraging seeing as it's already going to be a while to finish these classes once I actually get them. That, and Inact-Detail is the most mindnumbing, soulcrushing, tedious work known under God's blue sky. If I have to change one more roll of toiletpaper in Darling Hall, I'm going to lose it; They'll find me naked, smeared with paint, sprinting through the hallways shouting about the dark gods of toilet tissue...
2: Ended things with Amanda... Again...
She couldn't wait for me, it seems. I hadn't been in Basic a month, and the first phonecall I get out to her, she tells me about 'Mike'... It's not fair to me, but at the same time, it's not fair to her... I had been ready to marry her, and she couldn't even make it a month apart before she started to drift. Maybe it's for the better, but I can't shake the feeling that she's going to end up hurt again on this one. She has the nasty habit of picking the wrong guys... That isn't to say I distrust this Mike guy. I have to give him the benefit of the doubt, and I also need to keep my distance. I don't want to be a 'Watts'... That said, I still want to spend some time alone with her when I come back for Christmas Exodus. We need to talk, and I still need closure on us...
3: Hard to contact people.
It's been incredibly hard to pin down a way to contact people. I haven't had access to a phone, so I can't call anyone. The little ammount of internet time I have has been spent with no one online. I don't even know if anyone at home besides Amanda knows that I'm coming home... I need to find a way to call Charlie or Kris and talk to them for a while...
More to come...
