I am so glad I didn't stay in San Angelo and work some minimun wage job while mooching enough money from family to attend Angelo State University.. life would be this mind-numbingly dull ALL THE TIME.

Don't get me wrong, I love my friends here, and it's nice being with my family. But it's boring a large portion of the time. I sleep in every...

I went to the DEP meeting last night and talked to all the scared kids who are about to go to boot camp. It was interesting. I met one guy (Joe) who is really cool, and he's about to go to boot camp on the 22nd. We went running last night, and I'm actually using his computer right now.

Part of me really wants to...

Today was nice. I went to the library, spent hours reading, then took a long nap, then talked to Kathy and my sister Beka on the phone. I really want to go PT, but it's dark outside and my knee still hurts really bad. That's the only damper on my otherwise beautiful day.

Tomorrow I'm going to talk to all the DEPpers at the recruiter's...

Wow. You have sort of an embarrassment of riches thing going on.

I hope you are able to sort it all out in a way that leads to greater happiness.

Sorry about the knee. My hip is giving me major shit. We can cry on each other's shoulders.

*wipes forehead* WHEW! Thank God I didn't profess MY undying love for you. Then I would have just been clumped into that group of guys like all the rest of them (Though I doubt I would have qualified as the "good boyfriend type". I will say I've missed you. Things are a little less aggrevating than usual (and oddly I miss that). Few people can get under my skin and I guess I see it as a good thing (at least I feel around you right?) I tried calling you 4 times, but I ended up chickening out. My grandmother's dying and I just wasn't real good for consoling words (besides you seemed to be getting along pretty well with your friends down there so I figured "if it ain't broke..."). On a lighter note. I loved Must Love Dogs. For the first time (in a while) I found a character in a movie that reminds me of me (bless John Cusak). Anyway, come back safe. Come back alive.

So the service was this morning. It went well. I cried when they played taps and when I read the eulogy, but I made it through ok.

I spent the rest of the day sleeping.

Now Michael and I are at my dad's house. I'm glad he's around, he makes me feel happy.

I went to see Alby today. He was my first real boyfriend,...

After a week of putting it off, I finished writing the eulogy.

Now all I have to do is get everything ready tomorrow morning and get through it without breaking down, and this funeral business will be pretty much done.

I'm tired of San Angelo. Small-town West Texas is a different world, and since nobody has anything exciting to do, they spend their time gossiping....

I lived in San Angelo for four years while I was in college there, and I know what you mean by the small town philosophy there. It was a good experience while I was there and now that I am an adult with a good job moving back wouldn't be too bad, then again it'd mean making all new friends there again too.

My friends from home are so different from my friends in Maryland...

I'm at Dawn's house right now. She's so different from Natalie, but I have fun with both of them, proving that I am upper class white trash.

I'm feeling a lot better now that I'm home with my family. I'm at my dad's house now waiting on supper to be ready, my friend Michael is here with me ...

I think I can handle all this. I don't like the responsibility but I can deal with it. I have pretty much everything figured out, so all I have to do is write...

My grandpa died of a heart attack this morning. He had called me and my Aunt Gladys, but neither of us had our phones with us - I'm going to feel horrible about that forever, he left a message saying it was important that I call back, but I didn't get it in time and now I'll never get a chance to talk to him...

He is with you always, sweety. I recently lost both of my grandparents.. and they in Canada, I in the southern USA... not cool.
Sometimes i have dreams about my grandmother... i know they both are still with me, love transcends all things darling. Love and kisses kiss
reshazedek:
Even if you don't think you told him enough, he knows how much you loved him. Don't ever doubt that. If he knew, and he called you and said it was important you call him back, I can almost guarantee that it was to make sure You knew how much He loved You. You will never stop missing him but if you ever need someone, we're all here for you.

I went to see Derrick's strip club (he's a bouncer). I liked it. His girlfriend works there, she's sweet. She told me where to go to get stripper shoes (I wanted them for a while now) and we just chatted in between her sets.

I'm tempted to audition, I can dance in the shoes.. but I probably won't.

I love chicken and lettuce. Mmm.

I...

I went to D.C. with Chris and Alex today.. the day as a whole was ok. We went to the Hirschorn Museum of modern art, which I loved, so that made it worthwhile.

They had a 'Visual Music' exhibit - I LOVED some of the paintings, especially 'Symphonie Verte' by Henry Valensi and several paintings by Mikhail Matiushin.

Art is one of my passions.. too...
