it's christmas time, yay!!!!! christmas lights (including the chevy chase house in midlo), christmas trees that smell so good, christmas carols, good food, family, friends, and the general sense of goodness and giving that i love so much. it is definitely my favorite time of year.
for those of you who need an update on my extremely important life, here goes...
1 - i'm watching the grinch who stole christmas on tv, and i love it. but t bone is making me write in this blog, SLAVE DRIVER!!! :) just kidding... i need to write in my blog, it's been far too long
2 - in case you didnt' hear, i'm def going to the stan at the end of January for a year. Talk about major suckage. I'll be fine though, just one last year of suck, then I get out of the army
3 - i'm getting out of the army (duh, i just told you that) next year about 30 - 90 days after i get back from the stan. then i'm moving to VA to get hitched ;). And hopefully we'll be living in a new house with some nice new cars (the volvo still counts as new), two cats, two dogs, and maybe even a white picket fence. this is great news for me. i can't wait to be settled down and not have to say goodbye to T anymore. that's starting to suck a lot, really fast.
4 - i'm 25 now. ollllddddd. my mom and sister gave me a nice birthday surprise by coming to visit me in NY and taking me out to dinner. they also set up a nice xmas tree and cleaned my apt while i was at work. they're now welcome back anytime :) Baby also gave me an awesome birthday in VA this weekend. I got lots of presents, cake, cookies, and kisses. (there's a little bit of alliteration for my favorite english teacher)
soooo you really haven't missed much. a lot of times, it's the same thing over here... mostly just me realizing day after day that I am hopelessly and completely in love and obsessed with my P22. I know this next year will be horrible while we're away, but the thought of what is to come in a year is the most wonderful thing I can think of. I hope that everyone has someone to love them like baby loves me. I am so lucky and so thankful that God has sent this angel to me. You are truly the most precious creation I have encountered, and I will always treat you like my prince(ss).
I'll write again soon, I hope...

blogging is for sissies
And, since P22 says I'm a sissy, I guess I have to blog. What to say, what to say...
well, first is that i have the flu. complete with explosive diarreah. i bet most of you are completely grossed out only 2 sentences into the blog.
second, i'm supposed to be deployed in february to afganistan. great. joyous. exactly what i wanted/need in my life. no, it isn't. it sucks.
third, my cat got fixed today. thank god, becuase if i had to listen to her meow about being in heat anymore, i'd shoot her.
fourth, there was a nice day long snow here in upstate new york. it is pretty outside, but sucks to drive in.
that about sums up the suckiness of the day. the only happy part is that i got p22 to smile, which makes me smile. i love you my little petunia!!!

rapper movies
damnit, if i see one more commercial for a rap star in a movie about how he came up from the hood and is now all successful, i'm going to scream. nobody cares that you lived in the ghetto. tons of people live there and they grow up to be successful, without having to sing about selling drugs and slapping bitches. so don't try to make your pathetic, illegal, and obnoxiously annoying life seem like it's cool cuz i don't care!
sorry, but i had to get that off my chest.
i found an apt today, it's tiny, but it'll do.
it's rainy and pooey out and tomorrow it's supposed to snow a bit. boo to that. nobody likes snow. well, actually, snow isn't bad. sometimes it makes it warmer. but generally, snow means it's below freezing. echhhh.
my blog seems really sad and depressing. sorry for that, but i'm not yet ready to write a bunch of happy things.
only funny thing right now is mad tv is on and ms swan is making me giggle. not as much as p22 does. but it'll do for now.
i love you, baby, 2 weeks :) and as the great ms swan said today, love hurts...

Oi
Wellll, it's happened. I have left the great state of VA, and my P22. Boy did that suck. I mean really, it had to have been the worst day of my life. I've gone through some rough shit, but this took the cake. P22 think our tears would probably have filled a cup (that's a lot, if you think about it). I thought it'd fill a cereal bowl, but when u think about it, that's a crap ton of water.
So we spent the better part of yesterday crying and generally feeling like crap. I don't think either of us really ate. We've had some food today but nothing like we should have.
I really didn't think this was going to be this hard. I thought we'd be ok with knowing we'd see each other over Thanksgiving, but that was certainly not the case. To say I was hurting inside would be the understatement of the century. I didn't know your heart could physically hurt, but it can, and it did. A lot.
Making this horrible day worse, was my arrival at a particularly dismal, cold, and dark Fort Drum. Today, at least, was sunny and not too too cold. It was bearable. I guess. I did find an apartment and will go see it tomorrow and hopefully get to move in soon. I'm going home for the weekend to get the kitties, and my sister. She's going to help me move into the apartment and get the kitties settled. Home will be good. Mama always makes me feel better and she makes me stronger. And right now, that's what I need. I'm trying to convince P22 to go home too, for the same reason, but we dont know yet. I also told P22 that I'd pay for a ticket to come to see me at home this weekend, but we don't know about that either.
(Directed to people who may think we're being ridiculous, otherwise skip this part)Those of you who may think that it's silly to want to see each other after just 1 week can kiss my white ass. You've probably not ever known true love, and for that I'm sorry... but we have it, and I can honestly say that it is horrible to spend just one minute apart. The thought of having to bear it for 6 months to a year is worse. Can you imaginethat? No amount of weekends together can replace living together, and sharing everything with that person. So think about that... we're not asking for your pity, but don't assume that it's so easy to do this.
In other news, The Frenchies are at it again. They need to quit with those damn riots. Burning cars... unnecessary.
Gas prices in NY are out of control... $2.68 a gallon for premium... I should trade in the Volvo and get some more economical car, like a Toyota :)
Also, people in this area of New York sound strangely like Canadians. There's even a couple Canadian TV stations and radio stations... not cool. I'm going to start a "take back NY" campaign (like the one in VT). That joke may only be funny to those who've been to vermont, and even they may not laugh... which is sad for me ;)
Not too much else going on right now. Just waiting for P22 to give me a call and then I'm headed to bed. Leave a comment or just wait for the next blog.
I love you P22... don't worry, I'm a-comin' home soon!!!

...
I haven't blogged in a while, I know. Things have been busy. I've graduated, had to move out of my apartment and into P22's. It's been kinda stressful, especially with next weekend looming over our heads like a big, dark storm cloud. I'm just waiting for it to release a torrential downpour onto our lives.
The closer it comes, the worse it gets. Sometimes I think it'd be easier if I left now, just to cut out all the heartache to come. And yet, I know I can't walk away like that, I want to have every last minute together, and then some.
I know it's going to be hard, and stressful, and there's going to be times where one of us asks if it's even worth it, all the heartache. But the truth is, it will be worth it. I can't thing of a better thing to suffer so much for. I wish I could suffer for both of us, to take away the pain. I want to because I know my heart is strong enough to do it for a year... I could do it for five years if I had to, if I knew that when I came back we'd be together. But I can't, we have to do it together. And I'm really glad I have someone so awesome to do it with.
I love you and I believe in us so much...please don't leave me...ever...

Soxtober!!!
That's right, my little bizzles, soxtober is here!!! Finally, the air is a little cooler (unless you live in Virginia, in which case you're probably still sweating), the leaves are changing colors, and my beloved Red Sox are in the playoffs again. It got a little close at the end, and the Yankees somehow made it on top, even though they SUCKED for 75% of the season. Well, actually, they always suck, but I meant standings-wise.
So...another playoff season to look forward to, or dread. I distinctly remember last playoff season being filled with anxiety attacks, high stress levels, and some tears (both good and bad). I was telling my friend today, I think one of my cats could have died, and I wouldn't have cared, as long as my boys won. They did win, and no, my cats didn't die. But they could have, and that's what's important.
And now, onto my predictions.
Yankees - Angels = Angels, if for no other reason than I FUCKING HATE THE YANKEES. That's reason enough, buuut I will say the Angels are a more well rounded team, and the Yankees pitching is dismal at best.
Red Sox - White Sox = Red IS my favorite color, and I'm a wee bit biased, so I say Red Sox.
Padres - Cardinals = Cardinals but it's gonna be close. I'm forseeing the series being 3-2.
Astros - Braves = Sorry Roger, but it goes to the Braves. They're just a better team, in my book.
GO SOX!!!

For P22
These words are my own (not really)
...Try to focus my attention
But I feel so A-D-D
I need some help, some inspiration(But it’s not coming easily)...
...Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know?...
...These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There’s no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you...
That's all I got to say,
Can't think of a better way,
And that's all I've got to say,
I love you, is that okay?

The Gym
First, I'm alive.
Second, I hate gym grunters. If you've been to a gym, you know what I mean.
So, I'm working out this morning, trying to get my swoll on, and from across the room I hear some guy making all this racket. I just rolled my eyes. For one thing, we weren't even in the free weights room doing squats, it was the nautilus room. AND, he wasn't doing and super hard exercise, he was using the machine that works your obliques (that's your love handles for you fatty cakes out there that never go to the gym). Ridiculous.
It's not bad if these guys are at the Olympics and trying to get a gold medal. Grunt and hiss away. But if you're a 45 year old man that is balding and semi-overweight, don't come to the gym and grunt because there's a million other people in there that don't want to hear your sex breathing and nasty noises. GROSS.

bad blogger :(
yeah it's been about a week since my last post. wait, no, longer than that. i keep meaning to blog, but i don't have shit to write about. nothing exciting happens in maryland... my weekends at least have been good. seen my fam for two weekends in a row, and then me and T bone are going to see them this weekend for the labor day holiday.
things with the tizzle bizzle are going swimmingly (i think that means good). i believe i speak for both of us when i say: thank goodness my time in MD is up so we can not have to just wait for the weekend to see each other. it's going to be nice to be able to see each other daily.
gosh this blog is boring as shit. i really don't have much to write about today :( i guess i'll sign off, maybe tomorrow i'll have something better to say...

stuff
Well, before you get to my survey thing, I wanted to say that I got in a stupid accident this weekend with a Jersey Barrier. I'm ok (cuz I know that's obviously your first concern). My car, not so OK. Might be totalled, might not be. Either way it needs a new front bumper, new hood, new left front quarter panel, new tire, new wheel, new drive shaft, new brakes, and maybe a new axle. The axle is going to probably determine if it's totalled or not. Also it was spilling liquid out like crazy. It looked bad, looked like I should be in the hospital. Thank God for safe Volvo's.

DICKIES!!!
I've finally found something worthy of being called a dicky...
Dear immature asshole men and boys of America,
Please refrain from doing the following things in my direction whilst I am running...
1. Do not make fun of me for having an MP3 player. You would only do this for two reasons. One - you are jealous of my iPod and want it for your own. B - you are ashamed that you're in bad shape and cannot run so you feel the need to heckle me as I do. This is just pathetic. Why would you make fun of someone who has an MP3 player? What is so bad about listening to music? You're obviously insecure in yourself if you feel the need to make fun of someone doing something good for themselves that in no way harms you. Dicky.
2. Do not drive by me on your moped and say something to the effect of "daaaaammmmn giiirrrlll." I don't appreciate that. I know that when I've been running for 18 minutes in the August heat of Maryland I don't look sexy. I'm a sweaty beast, heaving for every last breath I can get. When you steal that air from me because you want to blatantly lie to my face about how hot I look, your life is in danger. Don't do that, it makes me angry. Dicky.
3. Lastly... to the ladies who hollered at me to get my attention as I was running by your little Jeep-mobile. Thank you for attempting to jokingly make out with each other, thinking it'd gross me out. Little did you know... Dickies.
In summation, let me say this: If you have nothing better to do than pick on someone for trying to not be a fat lard ass that eats 15 big macs in one sitting, like over 50% of the population in this country is, you're a pathetic piece of shit. You should think about running yourself, since you probably weigh 50 pounds more than you should, even though you try to squeeze into clothes that are too small for you, thinking people will like you because you look like an overweight slutbag. That's right, I'm hating on fat people. Quit eating fast food 5 times a week and then suing McDonalds, like it's their fault you can't stop shoving food in your fat faces. Maybe if you went running with an MP3 player three times a week and you just ate Subway like Jarod, you wouldn't look like Fat Bastard. Think about it. Until you can run faster than me, farther than me, and are skinnier than me (and that's not going to happen anytime soon), quit heckling, harassing, cat calling, and making out to distract my running.
DICKIES!!!
Love, Me
ps - this letter is not just from me, it is for every runner who is harassed by you tubby bitches...
Dear immature asshole men and boys of America,
Please refrain from doing the following things in my direction whilst I am running...
1. Do not make fun of me for having an MP3 player. You would only do this for two reasons. One - you are jealous of my iPod and want it for your own. B - you are ashamed that you're in bad shape and cannot run so you feel the need to heckle me as I do. This is just pathetic. Why would you make fun of someone who has an MP3 player? What is so bad about listening to music? You're obviously insecure in yourself if you feel the need to make fun of someone doing something good for themselves that in no way harms you. Dicky.
2. Do not drive by me on your moped and say something to the effect of "daaaaammmmn giiirrrlll." I don't appreciate that. I know that when I've been running for 18 minutes in the August heat of Maryland I don't look sexy. I'm a sweaty beast, heaving for every last breath I can get. When you steal that air from me because you want to blatantly lie to my face about how hot I look, your life is in danger. Don't do that, it makes me angry. Dicky.

update
ok so i guess i haven't really updated you all on exactly where i am in my life right now. i've just been throwing out bits and pieces of what i've been doing, and i haven't really had any good contact with my friends. that's sad because i'm finally in the states and i'm doing worse with communication than when i was halfway across the world in korea. so for that, i'm sorry. please read on to see what's been up with me. .
1. i'm living in md for the month for the second part of my course. i'll be here til the beginning of labor day weekend, at which point i'm going home. til sunday before labor day, then i come back to va. i'm taking t-bone with me again. hopefully this time everyone can meet t. after i get back to va, i'll have about two months left there and then i go to my next station. just found that out... fort drum in watertown, ny. go look it up on a map. you'll notice i'm only 30 miles from canada, and about 5 from lake ontario. know what that means? yes: frigid, frigid, frigid weather. but at least summer will be nice and i can ski and hike 9 out of 12 months :). i have to keep reminding myself that i chose that station... i chose it over hawaii. no, i don't need to be mentally evaluated. i had good reason.
2. today i found out that i am going to be promoted to captain on the 1st of september. well actually it'll probs be more like the 6th or something, but i'm officially a captain on the 1st. thats a full month earlier than what i had expected. promotions are great, because it means two things: respect and a pay raise. finally i'll have other officers (albeit LT's) saluting me, not just enlisted. RESPECT MY RANK, BIZZLES.
3. today when i was at the gym (yes i go) i was trying to get the foot holder on the sit up bench situated, and i accidentally pinched the fatty part under my thumb. so now i have this huge blood blister that i am so tempted to pop. hmm... maybe i will...
4. i'm a feeler. i realized this long before i took the myers-briggs test, but that just solidified it. i'm not upset about this realization, but i have to be more aware of how it affects my decisions. i follow my heart about 99% of the time. luckily t-bone inserts common sense thoughts and ideas into the equation. the thought of making someone uncomfortable, unhappy, mad, or anything less than happy, seriously seriously makes me feel like the biggest pile of shit. so i often times go out of my way to keep people around me happy, even if it's at my own expense. sometimes that's good... like for t-bone. t-bone should rarely be upset around me, and if they are, i just want to explode. (t-bone, remember how upset i got when my bro called and i had to say no to him and i cried for like, i dunno, an hour straight? imagine what i do when i upset you... ) point is, i'm a feeler that's trying to use common sense...
5. ok ok, now the juicy part that i'm sure you're interested in. in fact, i'd be surpised if any of you dickies even read the other things in this blog. let's talk about t-bone. :) good things going on there. we've been dating for about 2 months now. the beginning of it was slow going, but in a good way. well, mostly. there was a lot of obstacles to overcome for both of us. t-bone, unlike myself) has not really dated a lot of people so that kinda made things a little more interesting. we've gone on a couple little weekend vaca's together, and we're going back to my house for labor day together. oh and one interesting thing is that t-bone and i always think of things at the same time, or we'll take a nap at the same time (but in our own beds) and wake up within minutes of each other. it was cute in the beginning of our relationship, but now it's gotten creepy. at least three times a day we have the same thought at the same time. we have esp(n). so anyway, things are really good. i hope everyone gets to meet and you'll all see why we're so happy together. :)
ok that sums it up for now. i'm sure i'll have something to add to this later. wait, on animal planet there's a show about cheetas, and there is a cheetah with epilepsy, which is so sad to me. he's so cute and he just shakes and he needs someone to love him :( (if there was any doubt before that i was a feeler, this should confirm it for you)

Long time, no blog
I know that's probably been the title of my blog at least once in the past, but screw it, I'm not creative enough to think of another one.
In case you haven't noticed, T-Bone's blog is linked on the sidebar and it's effing hilarious if you get the chance to read it.
So now that I've sat down to write, I can't think of a damn thing to talk about that people want to read. Lets see...
I saw my bro this weekend up in Quantico. He's doing well, looks good... not looking like he's starved yet. But I'm sure that's coming. He's doing Marine Corps training to be an officer in case you didn't know. I took him off base for the first time in a month and got him a good meal and we went shopping at the mall. I know what he was going through so it felt so good taking him out and getting him away from that.
Oh, I took the Myers-Briggs test... u know, the one for your personality. I used to be a ENTJ but now I'm an ESFJ. Strong in the E and F but weak in S and J. I'm an extroverted sensing feeling judger, or whatever. T Bone is a ESTJ, which, as it turns out, is my most compatible match. Convenient, eh?
So I'm eating these almonds covered in salt (that right bizzles, I'm eating salty nuts by the handful) and they're making me so thirsty. I've gone through about three bottles of gatorade today. Ridiculous.
Ok, enough blogging today. I can't be creative enough to write something halfway funny so tomorrow I'll give it another go.

Home sweet home
Good times at home this weekend. For those of you that I didn't get to see, don't feel offended, my parents didn't see me either. I spent my time taking T sightseeing. She had a few first experiences that I was priveleged enough to share with her. It's always nice to see how people react to new things, to see their excitement, and then to share in it, just amazing... Here's the list:
1. First time at a beach. We went in (even tho it was freezing) and we caught some waves. We went and climbed on the rocks and looked for mussels, but we couldn't find any :( booo..
2. Clam cakes and chowda :) Not so much liking the chowder or the clam part of clam cakes, but boy did she like that dough. I, on the other hand, loved it. Mmmmm....
3. Fish and chips (no excuse for this one, really) and it was so greasy and good.
4. Boston - saw the graves of Paul Revere, Sam Adams, John Winthrop, and John Hancock as well as one of the oldest churches in America. We went to the harbor, got some souvenirs and ate two lunches.
I think it was a good experience for her. We had a lot of fun but needed a long nap when we got back. I'm still trying to recover from it :)
I'm in Maryland now for the second phase of my course. Classes should be a breeze. I'll be home for labor day weekend again and this time I'll be able to see all my buddies since T has already seen the good stuff. We can just relax this time, if she comes with me that is. *cough*
On that note, I should get back to class. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as I did.

Poop Day
Here's why:
1. I got a f'ing ticket from a Statie in VA driving 77 in a 55. That makes it reckless driving so I didn't actually get a ticket, I got a court summons. I thought I'd just plead guilty and pay the fine instead of doing that but since I know someone who had to pay 360 for doing that, maybe not a good idea. Instead I got info from a very reliable source (thanks East Middy) that said if I go to court they're likely to send me to driving school and make me pay the court fee, which is significantly less than the fine and it also throws the ticket out. I'm down with that naturally. I found a VA approved online driving course that I'm going to take and then take the quiz in person at a library and so when I go see the judge I'll say lookie lookie judgie poo, Alyssa is so high speed :) And then he'll say, damn ok no ticket for you-hoo, just give me some money for a court fee. And I will. The end.
2. If anyone has any information about how to find out if the airport is letting people take pets on the plane or not because of high temps, please let me know. I spend a good 1.5 hours on the phone today with the airport and two airlines, only to get the run around at every single place. No one could help, and instead of trying they just kept sending me to the next person. Anyway, I have decided to just show up really early and if they say they can't take the cats then I'll first throw a temper tantrum (which should make T want to punch me) and then I'll have to take the cats back to my apt and then run back to the airport for the flight. I am going to get some soft kennels so they can maybe come in the cabin with us, that might work too. Either way I think I've got it covered pretty well...
I guess that's about it. Doesn't seem so bad when you lay it out. I ended up taking about a 4 hour nap today which was amazing. I feel great now. I'm sure I won't be saying that at 1 am when I can't get to sleep and I have to be at work at 7:30. Good news though, when I go in at 7:30 I will only be there for about a half an hour and then I'm done til Monday in Maryland.
Time to go pack and do laundry for the weekend. Once again, I will be home in Mass from Th-Sun. Saturday night we're going to Pulse so everyone that wants to go should come :) Call the cell.

Virginia is for lovers
Yes, yes it is. I want that shirt, except anyone who knows me, knows I absoultely detest that word. It ranks up there with partner or life partner. Let me use it in a real example:
" Your father and I just worry. We really want you to settle down and find a nice life partner."
-my mom to about two years ago
BARF. I really wish she wouldn't refer to it as that. I digress...
I want a shirt that says that. I think I can even overlook the fact that it says lovers on it... (i'm still gagging)
So I got the new Harry Potter book yesterday from T. That's probably one of the best presents ever because I love Harry Potter, and I'm too cheap to buy the hardcover. :) I'm lucky, so lucky. Can't wait to start reading it, but I know that once I do, I won't put it down. I'm going to hole myself up for the 4 hours it's going to take to read it...
This weekend T and I are going to DC. Well just for Saturday really... but still exciting NONETHELESS. That's because we're going to the spy museum (awesome), the Holocaust museum (awesome), and DuPont circle to shop (really awesome). Then, Saturday night is Babe's, which if you remember is where I get to play drunk volleyball in the sand pit AT the bar. That's seriously the best idea for a bar. Totally excited about my weekend of fun :).
Next Sunday I'm going to MD to start my Phase II of the Captains Course. I guess that's good because I'm definitely ready to be done with Phase I. I managed to get an A on everything so far. Too bad the three biggest assignements are due between today and Tuesday. We'll see though. I'm sure my inner genious will come out. Riiight. Can't wait to be close to Baltimore again though, that's a good time if you get the chance. Well, some parts are pretty ghetto, but for the most part I think it's pretty nice. Camden Yards is sexy too. Hmm, wonder if the Sox are playing the O's there? Better go check that as soon as I get off this blog.
Ok, time to go. I can't stop thinking about the Red Sox... addicted...

Can't wait to start reading it, but I know that once I do, I won't put it down. I'm going to hole myself up for the 4 hours it's going to take to read it...
This weekend T and I are going to DC. Well just for Saturday really... but still exciting NONETHELESS. That's because we're going to the spy museum (awesome), the Holocaust museum (awesome), and DuPont circle to shop (really awesome). Then, Saturday night is Babe's, which if you remember is where I get to play drunk volleyball in the sand pit AT the bar. That's seriously the best idea for a bar. Totally excited about my weekend of fun :).
Next Sunday I'm going to MD to start my Phase II of the Captains Course. I guess that's good because I'm definitely ready to be done with Phase I. I managed to get an A on everything so far. Too bad the three biggest assignements are due between today and Tuesday. We'll see though. I'm sure my inner genious will come out. Riiight. Can't wait to be close to Baltimore again though, that's a good time if you get the chance. Well, some parts are pretty ghetto, but for the most part I think it's pretty nice. Camden Yards is sexy too. Hmm, wonder if the Sox are playing the O's there? Better go check that as soon as I get off this blog.
Ok, time to go. I can't stop thinking about the Red Sox... addicted...

boring blogs
I feel like lately I have nothing to blog about. And it's not even for a lack of interesting things going on in my life... I just don't think my blog should be like a diary where I spout out all the stuff I did that day. I like to put little snipets of funny things in here and I don't know why, but every time I sit down to blog I think of a big fat nothing. :(
I have bloggers block.
Here's some good news... the Sox are back in first place. And today they scored 6 runs in the first inning and TB had to retire their starter before the inning was even over. That makes me happy.
Oh wait... hey everyone in RI, I'm coming home for the last weekend in July and I'm bringing T with me... :) Be excited, we're going out...
Hopefully the next blog will be better...

another week...
It's Monday, time for another week to get going. I had class all day today and I can't count the number of times I almost fell asleep. Were it not for the fact that I'd feel horrible for disrespecting my instructor like that, I probably would have been passed out and snoring.
I had another relaxing weekend in my favorite place. This time I went fishing for 4 hours on Saturday. Guess what I caught? Nope, not a fish...just a nice little burn. I played tennis on Sunday too, which I expected to be a bad experience because I don't play tennis as a general rule. I've played once in high school, and if any of the girls from BVA remember my skills, they'll remember I had none. I didn't want T to think I can't play tennis, because I have to be the best at everything (of course). Luckily I didn't suck half as badly as I should have and so I think I might have saved a little face. The fact of the matter still remains that she's probably better at me in 94% of all sports played. The exception there is ballet and Karate. Fuck you for saying ballet isn't a sport, dicky. (cuz i know everyone reading that just said it wasn't)
Anyway, that's about it for my weekend. Getting repetive but I'm not complaining in the least. My time in VA has been great and I'll be sad to see it go...

Small Talk
In response to Seany's question about passing the tape test... the answer is yes. I passed. I did have to get taped ;) Or not... For those of you non-military types he was asking if I met the height/weight standard for the army. Um, I think I might be underweight according to their standards, but never over. If you don't pass height/weight you get tape tested to see your body fat percentage, and if it's under a certain percent than you pass the standard. So no Seany, you dicky, I didn't have to get taped.
I had another fantastic weekend in Farmville, Virginia with T... I think I'm in love with that town. It's so adorable. Just picture a typical, sleepy, Virginian town where everyone knows everyone else and there's a little downtown Main Street. I even went to church on Sunday morning, with a skirt on, and then had a nice Sunday lunch with the Bridge trio. Then it was nap time :), then running, then playing with the kids, then tv, then finally bed. Ahhhh, like a little vacation every weekend. :) So happy...

PT Test
HAHAHAHA I finally, FINALLY, did well on a PT test. I got a 297 out of 300. And the best part is, my run was under 16 minutes. I've never run that fast in my life. The only time I've come close was at advanced camp after my junior year of college. That's forever and a day ago. I think running might not suck so hard after that run...
I'm so diesel, I should think about joining that ironwoman competition. riiiight...

Independence Weekend
What did I do this weekend? Rugby, rugby, and more rugby. Two full days of it this time, and two nights in a hotel room with the team. Good times... I'll spare you all the details since they're pretty similar to last weekend.
I have a roman candle and 4 cherry bombs sitting in the back of my car right now, compliments of Theresa's brother. He rocks for giving those up, but I didn't get to shoot them off... maybe next weekend.
I know I had a funny quote from yesterday and I can't think of it... oh wait, yeah I can but since it sounds kinda racist I won't say it. It wasn't meant to be but some people are feisty and stupid about that stuff so I won't repeat it. I did hear someone's mom say "I was known for travelling with balls" and a dad say "I have balls in my trunk." All this talk about balls is making me feel bouncy so I'm outtie.
jam out with your clam out, ladies... hahaha, that's the new phrase so start using it :)

Genius?
Alyssa, your Super IQ score is 120
The way you think about things makes you a Numerical Logician. This means that you're exceptionally strong in mathematics and at using logic to solve problems. You have a way with numbers. But that's not all, compared to others you're very detail-oriented, highly organized, and good at understanding things on a complex and abstract level. You're also a quick study when it comes to learning new things or understanding new concepts.
We analyzed how you scored on 8 dimensions of intelligence: spatial, organizational, abstract reasoning, logical, mechanical, verbal, visual and numerical. The 3 dimensions you scored highest on combine to make you a Numerical Logician. Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities.
So, does this mean I'm smart?Hmm...probably not. You really can't trust the accuracy of these intelligence tests online. I'm sure if I took a real one I'd probably not score so well. This one seemed a little easy. It would be nice to think that .6% of people in the world have that combo of intelligence. Maybe I am a genius... I've been trying to prove that for years ;)
In other news I found the best website. www.zazzle.com You can make any tshirt here with any pic you want. (as long as it's not under copyright laws...found that out the hard way, haha)
I made two shirts. The first was for myself and it's a white ringer with blue rings. In green writing it says : your mom goes to college. I tried to get one with Napoleon's face and the phrase: I'm gonna do whatever I wanna do, gosh... but they kicked it back for copyright with the pictures. I also made another one but it's kind of a half surprise so I won't go into detail but know that it's funny. So now I'm going to make tshirts like it's my job. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. So far Theresa has given me the best one:
spaghetti's straight too, until you heat it up. ahahaha, I think the rugby team would like that one.
Aright, I'm outtie for the weekend. We've got a nice tourney that goes from Sat to Sun but we're getting there Friday and some people aren't even leaving until Monday. Me, I gots other plans for the fourth so I'm leaving Sunday. Wish me luck. I'm playing with the Virginia Rugby Union B-side team (that's good).
Peace out cub scouts

Rugby
I got my ass kicked yesterday. I won't get into the details of our games...just know that we didn't do so well. My legs hurt from running after people... The good news is that I had fun and that we're not really upset about losing. Cuz we did win one game. By forfeit, hahaha :)
I've never been so tired as I was last night. I finally made it to bed and was twice woken up by phone calls. After I got off the phone it took me forever to get back to sleep, which I really didn't understand because I was so tired that I was delerious. I started having dreams before I even made it to sleep that made no sense. I think someone must have hit me really hard because I've gone retarded...
On that note, I'm going to get off the computer and do something constructive today... like sleep.

Christmas
It's Christmas in my apartment.
I got my big shipment of household goods in from the transportation guys yesterday. I got about 22 boxes worth of my stuff that I haven't seen since I left Korea a couple months ago. As I'm unpacking the boxes I realized a couple things. First, I forgot I had half of the shit that I have, so it's like Christmas. I keep opening boxes and getting excited.
Second, I realized that almost every single glass I own has been stolen from a bar. If it has a beer or alcohol label on it, I've probably taken it. That's sad, especially because nothing matches.
Tomorrow I have another rugby tournament. I'm still not quite healed from the last one but that's fine. I'll be ok, and I'm really excited to play again. It's in DC, so that's pretty cool. Unfortunately I'm not going to feel much like going out there after a day of getting my ass kicked by some fat bitches. Speaking of fat bitches, my food is getting cold so I have to go eat. I'll update tomorrow on the games.

INDIGO GIRLS
I totally lost my Indigo Girls virginity last night! Finally made it to a concert and it was great. They sound so good live. Better than on the CD even. Over half the rugby team went so it was great to see everyone out and about. I also drank, um, five beers at the concert. Then we went to Babe's and I had another few. DRUNK, thanks...
Know why I love Babe's? Because not only is it a bar/dance club/restaurant, but there is a BEACH VOLLEY BALL PIT in the back of the club. So I played three games of drunk volleyball and I was on the winning team every time :) I had some good teammates, we'll leave it at that... Anyway, then I got Taco Bell and then I went to bed. At 4 am. Great.
Four hours later I got up to go home. Now I'm in class. And I'm tired. Realllly tired. But it was worth it just to see ma girls play. They rock!!!!!!

My weekend
So good, so bad.
I finally got the chance to play in a rugby game. Or four games. At least it was 7's. I scored a try which makes me feel like I contributed to the team just a little. It was a great tournament and it was great to be back in the sport. I'm not super mobile because of all the sore muscles, but I feel awesome :)
Friday I got a 95 on my first test in school. I'm a genious. Not really, it was open book. (Sometimes those can be tricky) I wonder how anyone got lower than an 80. I'm in a class with a bunch of re re's. They ask questions about EVERYTHING. Tomorrow I'm going to take a tally with the number of questions they ask, and then also how many of those were stupid questions. But, you know what they say, there aren't stupid questions, just stupid people...
And for the bad. I'm not going to get into it, because a blog is neither the time, nor the place to do so, but things with Steve aren't so hot because I'm stupid. (Big surprise on that one, eh)
Well, it's off to bed for me. I have a 4 mile run in the morning which I think will be great for getting all these tight muscles loosened up. Talk to you all later.

School
I had my first day of school today. Boy was that boring. I was half asleep by 9:30 and class started at 9. It's going to be a long 5 months. I better make nice with Juan Valdez...
Other news...my stupid cat is in heat again. If we went back through my old blog and counted the number of times I've written about Joey being a hornball you'd come up with a number around 10. That's a lot. She's all rubbing up against me and I keep trying to push her away but she won't take a hint. She's like a sexual predator. I'm thinking of registering her with the local police department as a sex offender.
Onto the good news...I'm playing rugby :) Yay!!! And, I get to play scrummie for the first tournament. We'll see after that. After watching me get destroyed by the opposing scrum half, the captain might decide that someone who weighs more than 114 lbs is a better fit :) But I'll soooo take it for right now.
That's about all that's new in the life of Alyssa. Hopefully some crazy stuff happens before the next time I blog so you can actually be entertained...otherwise you're stuck with these poop blogs :D
Respect my blog, beotch!

Comments
Damnit, I didn't realize I had it set so only registered users could post comments. I just changed it so if you want to comment on how much this blog sucks a bulb of garlic you're more than welcome to. :)
You know VA is a ghetto state when Walmart is the white trash place and KMart is the nice bargain store. Great.

Communication
Just a quick blog of thanks. This weekend I had the privilege to talk to a bunch of people I never get to or I have just lost contact with (mostly because I'm a schmuckatelli and I don't know how to say hi every now and again.) Let's see...
Paul, Erin, Pinis, Terry, Ginny and Renee (not my sister).
Yeah you guys rock and thanks for getting back in touch with me. It was so nice to finally talk to everyone and I think I'll be making trips for a couple weddings and just general hellos. Also, if anyone wants to come to VA anytime between now and October you are more than welcome at my little place. It's only a 1 bedroom but it's cute :).
Oh, one last thing. I didn't know people were actually reading my blog, except Steve and Seward. If you read my blog thanks for listening :) I feel like I should actually edit what I write now. Wait, that takes effort and I don't have a lot of that to go around. I spend the majority of it cleaning out the cats litter box and shoving food in my fat face. Well I guess you all are going to have to continue reading the same crappy blog :) Cheers!!!

Starbizzles
Please tell me this is funny to someone else out there besides myself:
So I'm at Starbucks having an iced Chai and I grabbed a napkin to act as a coaster. I happened to glance at the napkin which had a leaf on it (I am assuming a coffee plant leaf). Along the leaf are two phrases. One is "I feel the sun on my face". The second (here's the funny party) is: "let me touch it growing".
Enough said.
Hahahahaha, hahaha, ahhhh, HAH.

Addendum
Ok, before you read the America blog, or if you've already read it and are steaming hot...
Feel free to leave comments. I'd welcome it. Also, I'm not saying President Bush has no part in the war, I'm just saying, let's not put the ENTIRE thing on his plate, ok? He is the President and is therefore ultimately responsible, but just remember Congress is the group that voted the war in. Also, I'm not referring to everyone in this country, and everyone in Canada, but lets face it, there is a pretty large group that this pertains to. If it's you, I urge you to act, not complain. You don't have to join the Army, but at the very least you can vote. Thanks :)

America
Here is something that has been bothering me lately:
I'm tired of people blaming the war in Iraq on Bush. Damnit, are there any Americans who actually realize that for a country to go to war it has to have approval from Congress? Yup, that's the same Congressmen and women that you elected into office. Oops, you didn't vote? Damn well I'm sorry that the Republicans got voted in AGAIN. Maybe next time you'll do your part and actually vote, because it's your constitutional right and more importantly your duty as a citizen of this country.
Speaking of this country, why does everyone that lives in it, and even those who don't (Canadians), feel the need to talk crap about it. You ignorant bastards. This country may have budgetary problems, it might have unemployment, crime, and homeless people living everywhere. But you show me a country that doesn't have that. What is so bad about living in this country, honestly? You can say what you want, when you want. You have the opportunity to be whatever you want, to get an education at whatever level because you can be given a scholarship JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A GOOD STUDENT. You can excel and become wealthy, or you can be a starving artist and be happy with it. This country has allowed you freedoms that some places don't have. If you have no money or you have no home, there hundreds of non-profit and charitable organizations that can help you. If there is something you don't like about this country, or you want to change, you have the right and the duty to speak up, vote for what you believe in, petition your representative and even run for office yourself until you are heard. If you don't vote, if you don't actively give to your community, if you don't take the time to stand up for what you believe in, then do not complain about how horrible our country is.
Moreover, stop saying that this country is nothing but a war hungry, baby killing mafia. When terrorists attacked on 9/11, what was the country saying? Kill the terrorists, attack the Afghanistan...now what are you saying? Stop the killing. You know what? It's too late. We went in to Iraq because their own leader was killing them. They lost civilians in the war and so did we. We also lost a lot of good soldiers fighting for a cause that the people of the country don't support. How do you think that makes a young soldier feel? He's got to go into a war, into a battle zone where his life is in constant danger and fight against an enemy that his family and friends back home don't believe is a real threat. Courage overcomes fear, but how can he have courage if his country is not standing in his corner. I hope that all the soldiers and civilians who died in Iraq and Afghanistan did not die for nothing. There is a cause there, there is a reason, and that reason is now to help rebuild those countries.
I vote, I am in the Army, and I knew coming in that one day I might have to put my life on the line. I can honestly say that I would go to combat any day to defend this country and the rights of all citizens in this nation, and I would go to combat to defend the rights of any human that is being terrorized or persecuted in their country because everyone has a right to live in freedom and in peace. No one deserves to be terrorized, not US citizens on 9/11, not even Iraqis under Saddam Hussein.
So vote, stand up for what you want, and make a difference before you complain about the country that gives you the right to do so.

Speaking of this country, why does everyone that lives in it, and even those who don't (Canadians), feel the need to talk crap about it. You ignorant bastards. This country may have budgetary problems, it might have unemployment, crime, and homeless people living everywhere. But you show me a country that doesn't have that. What is so bad about living in this country, honestly? You can say what you want, when you want. You have the opportunity to be whatever you want, to get an education at whatever level because you can be given a scholarship JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A GOOD STUDENT. You can excel and become wealthy, or you can be a starving artist and be happy with it. This country has allowed you freedoms that some places don't have. If you have no money or you have no home, there hundreds of non-profit and charitable organizations that can help you. If there is something you don't like about this country, or you want to change, you have the right and the duty to speak up, vote for what you believe in, petition your representative and even run for office yourself until you are heard. If you don't vote, if you don't actively give to your community, if you don't take the time to stand up for what you believe in, then do not complain about how horrible our country is.
Moreover, stop saying that this country is nothing but a war hungry, baby killing mafia. When terrorists attacked on 9/11, what was the country saying? Kill the terrorists, attack the Afghanistan...now what are you saying? Stop the killing. You know what? It's too late. We went in to Iraq because their own leader was killing them. They lost civilians in the war and so did we. We also lost a lot of good soldiers fighting for a cause that the people of the country don't support. How do you think that makes a young soldier feel? He's got to go into a war, into a battle zone where his life is in constant danger and fight against an enemy that his family and friends back home don't believe is a real threat. Courage overcomes fear, but how can he have courage if his country is not standing in his corner. I hope that all the soldiers and civilians who died in Iraq and Afghanistan did not die for nothing. There is a cause there, there is a reason, and that reason is now to help rebuild those countries.
I vote, I am in the Army, and I knew coming in that one day I might have to put my life on the line. I can honestly say that I would go to combat any day to defend this country and the rights of all citizens in this nation, and I would go to combat to defend the rights of any human that is being terrorized or persecuted in their country because everyone has a right to live in freedom and in peace. No one deserves to be terrorized, not US citizens on 9/11, not even Iraqis under Saddam Hussein.
So vote, stand up for what you want, and make a difference before you complain about the country that gives you the right to do so.

Alyssa Renee and Matt
Ignore the fact that I'm making a face, and the fact that 1 Matt = 1 Renee + 1 Alyssa, and concentrate on my legs. Note that they are the same color as Matt's pants. Scary, eh? Don't worry, Virginia got a hold of em and now they're tan.
Annie
My cat Annie is f*cking hilarious right now. I put the printer on a box so it's not directly on the floor. This means she's eye level with where the paper comes out. I printed a couple documents and since then (about 5 minutes ago) she's been STARING at the printer to see if anything else comes out. Not snooping, sniffing or batting, she's just staring. Now she's ON the printer. Because my piece of shit printer can really withstand the weight of her fat ass. Speaking of fat ass, the vet today told me that both cats are "healthy", and by that I mean overweight. Also, they have...well HAD...earmites. Cured now. Thank God. So, lets recap on the cats, eh?
1) They're fat
2) They had parasites in their ears
3) Annie is making love to my cheap printer
4) Joey is in heat. Again. Ridiculous. She's in my bed and looking at me like I'm supposed to go cuddle with her.
As you can see, not much has changed in the last month. Which is good, because I don't want any unnecessary stress. Being away from Steve is just about as much as I can handle. >:* stupid stupid stupid. Only 83 days, 9 hours and 42 minutes until we're reunited. You might think I have too much time on my hands to be figuring that out, but actually it's a feature of my cellphone. And I'm going to take advantage of it, because, well, my cellphone doesn't have any other features. It's almost as shitty as my printer.

Virgin blog
I'm popping the cherry on this blog page :) Sorry it's been so long but I don't have internet at the new apartment yet. Long story, it'll be up this week.
So, I moved into the cutest apartment which I'll show you pictures of when I get a chance. I bought all my furniture at IKEA which was so much fun. And cheap. I live in Chester, VA for those of you who want to look it up on a map. It's a little city but I live in what seems like the backwoods but is only minutes away from such great places as Target, Applebees, Loews, Home Depot, Rt 95 and most importantly, Hooters.
No, I haven't been, but if someone wants to take me there I'd go. For the wings of course.
I spent a week settling in then went to see Renee graduate from college. It was great because our whole family was together. I haven't been with everyone for over 1.5 years so it was a good reunion. Ben Stein was the speaker and he was fantastic. Really funny, even if he is a conservative republican. Congrats Renee, I wish you all the best in the future and I hope for your sake that you get a nice paying career, otherwise mom will kill you.
I spent the last two days touring DC. I got great pictures and saw THE GUTENBERG BIBLE. If you don't know what that is then shame on you. If you do, you understand why I almost crapped in my pants when I saw it. I wasn't aware it was in the library of Congress. But it was. Also, I saw the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the monuments, the war memorials, and other things. I had a great weekend all in all. It would have been nice to have a little company but it's also nice to do what you want and not worry about what the other people want to do.
If anyone wants to come visit me in Virginia I'd LOVE to entertain you. I'm close to a lot of fun things and it's a great place to vacation, even for just a weekend.
Oh and, if you haven't got my new cell number that I've been using since I came to the states, email me and I can give it to you. My email is on my profile.
Until next blog...
