missfire

So I'm driving home from a visit with a friend last night, thinking about how much I'll miss home (I'm leaving for 4 months SOON) and thinking about all of the little things I'l miss. And it always seems to be the really small things. For example, I took the 52 to J's house (if you don't live in SD you have no idea what...

Dashing and daring,
Courageous and caring,
Faithful and friendly,
With stories to share.
All through the forest,
They sing out in chorus,

Marching along,
As their song fills the air.

Gummi Bears,
Bouncing here and there and everywhere.
High adventure that's beyond compare,
They are the Gummi Bears.

Magic and mystery,
Are part of their history,
Along with the secret,
Of gummiberry juice.
Their legend...

Uggghhhhh...I've had the WORST day today. I found out that I can't transfer from my ship when I thought I was, I've got broken equipment, and I got in two huge fights with a guy that I work for whom I truly adore. He's in "Navy speak" my mentor, and in Jeni speak the one guy I wanna be when I grow up. And that's...

Okay. So the hair dye thing totally didn't work out for me. I apparently chose the wrong color (note to self, don't ask a 3 year old if the color on the box is the same as on your head.) and now I have purple hair. But only for like ten days, since tomorrow I will be visiting the coolest stylist on the planet and...

I'm dyeing my hair. Just the same old red I usually do, but I always went RED. Crayola. But I would fall in love only to have to dye it back at the end of my twelve days of freedom. Oh yeah, I'm free for now. I go to Texas tomorrow morning (maybe I should pack) to visit the coolest in-laws on the earth, and...

I love deadlines. I kind of thrive on stress. Not that I'm one of those folks who works better under pressure, just that I like to. And not that I'm more likely to get a job done under pressure, getting a job done is kind of hit or miss for me. But I've got a lot of pressure right now. And that makes me kind...

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! And I'm home, kind of. Home where the internet is a little faster and I am in no danger of getting rocked out of bed and I only have to share berthing with 2 girls instead of 39. Happy birthday 9/3 babies, we rock!

I leave again on Tuesday for two more weeks. Two weeks devoid of nekkid chickies (unless I happen to see one or two of my 38 roommates.) I really don't mind leaving so much, it's just mostly boredom and stress. And even if there were anybody to relieve that with, there are 400+ people and it'd be awfully hard to find some space to do...

Hah. New picture. That other one wasn't great, you could tell I was obviously plastered. Well, I'm underway (still) on the way home from crazy weekends in Victoria, B.C. and Seattle WA. I saw a lot more of Victoria, and that place rocks. Don't know if I'd want to live there but it's a great place for a vacation. Beautiful and temperate with a drinking...

New ink!!!! (There's a picture in my random vainness folder) but for those of you too lazy to go look, I got an abacus with Sam's birthdate on it on the back of my neck. I'm really excited but I'm a little sad. Melissa leaves in a few days for washington and I won't get to see her for a while. Like until I get...
