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.

On a happier note, here's a survey I stole from a friend...

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...

Profession of Love

I LOVE T-BONE :)

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.
