OK, so I talked to the Lt. Cmdr. in the Navy Friday, and he was pretty good, too. He was honest about what ship life is like (if you're wondering, it sucks!), but he also reassured me about the my atypical personality and the more relaxed life in the Navy compared to the Army and Marines (Air Force is still the most relaxed, though) He even said he ( Read more... )

So, today I talked with a Major in Intel from the Air Force who has a husband in the Army, and the Air Force is really sounding like the place for me to be. They want Intel people right now and are the most open about personalities and are laid back (the Major even said she was pagan, none type A, and would probably be in Greenpeace if she wasn't ( Read more... )

I wish I were yours
The way you are mine,
Each holding the other
'Til the end of time.

In the words of Kim Jong-il: I'm so ronery.

That's right, it's what you've all been waiting for: more emo poetry! The pain! (gasp!) The melancholy! (sigh!) The thin line between Love and Hate! (whoah!) And now without further ado, my fetid verses!

Ok, so I think I've decided between Army and Navy, and the winner is Army. Yes, the Navy has the Army beat when it comes to aesthetics (uniforms, titles, etc.) and family history, but the Army offers a Chemical division (my second choice after Intelligence), no months long isolations on a ship, and a little individuality. I say individuality due to ( Read more... )

I think I should compile and write down some of my philisophical thoughts one day. I really enjoy the whole thought process and developing an argument...process (I just spent the past hour and a half researching and writing a response to a friend's facebook note about her inability to understand atheism, hence my being awake at such a time). Plus, ( Read more... )

In an effort to figure out and correct another defect in my person, I've been trying to figure out if there is a common stimulus for why I procrastinate doing many things and why I can sometimes be easily distracted when doing them. Although I've sometimes thought of placing blame on some sort of ADD type syndrome since my uncle Nate has something ( Read more... )

I'm. In. HELL.
Well, it hasn't been quite a month yet, but I'm thinking that monthly cycle thing is spot on. I've been trying to go to sleep for an hour now, but I can't stop thinking of this emotionally charged scenario. It's not even a happy one! It's making me depressed as hell. Even when I try to end it with a happy ending, my mind just resets ( Read more... )

I am starting an experiment, or, more precisely, an inquiry into my body chemistry. For a while now, I've noticed that I sorta go through phases of being more emotional and having a more, shall we say, overbearing libido. In an effort to determine if there is a pattern to them, and to try and better understand why one month ago I went from being in ( Read more... )

I give WAY too much weight to aesthetics.
Currently, I've really been thinking more and more about joining the military as an officer, and I'm trying to decide between the Navy and the Army. Many factors go into the pros and contras on both side, but my preference for uniform specifics really seems to carry more weight than it should.
I really like ( Read more... )
