Wow, okay, time for the update:
I went to NY. Had an awesome time. About 3 days before my ending, the navy cuts my pay by $1200 this month saying that I was overpaid in january. Then this shit happens today.
My buddy I served in Iraq with was riding his motorcycle in Los Angeles when he sees a car accident on the side of the road. Being the nice guy that he is, he turns around to pull over and see if anyone needs help. While in the right lane, preparing to pull over, some fuckin drunk lady rear ends him going 85. The force sends him over her car into the 2nd traffic lane, where he is promptly run over by an SUV. He survived with a separated spine, a fractured pelvis, a ruptured speen, an exploded bladder, and a compound fracture femur. I plan to go visit him on Friday. His mom was a sweet heart and im glad I got in touch with her.
Oh, and I got turned down for portland state university... only to find out i might get in again. they are saying I need to submit my military transcript and THAT might get me in.
tomorrow i have a meeting with a counselor. Hopefully he is useful, because I havent slept in 2 days after talking about my experience in iraq with my room mate. Fuck, I just want things to calm down.

I dropped you my # and never heard from you for lunch while you were in NYC. Disappointed much!!
Boo @ getting your pay cut out of nowhere, that sucks.
As for the sleeplessness and your experience in Iraq.. yeah, I've been there too. I got to the point where I wouldn't sleep at night but be awake, and sleep during the day to avoid all living things (except my cat). If you ever need to talk.. feel free to prod me. There are things that I still wont talk about from my time there, but some things I've come to terms with. Anyway.. point is, I'm an ear if you want it.
I'm rootin' for ya for uni, good luck!!
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, things like that annoy me so much-- especially since we live in a day and age where you're lucky if people stop to help when the crap hits the fan
Hope you're well sweetheart, next time you're in NYC.. don't stand me up!
