So it's been a few days since I've posted.
Nothing to exciting going on right now in my life. I am officially on Spring Break, in fact I skipped classes yesterday so my Spring Break started yesterday. So hopefully this next week will be filled with excitement!
Tonight I'm going to see Cop out, I'm pretty excited that movie looks like it will be hilarious.
Last night I went to upload some new pictures, and unfortunately I was not able to. My USB ports in my laptop are shot. I think it's because my son thinks he can shove things into them, except I guess he ruined one awhile ago and my mom just forgot to tell me. And the other one that I have I was using yesterday during the day and come night time it wouldn't work, so I tried again today and nothing. So now with my income taxes I have to get a new laptop, which means I will probably not be able to get my tattoo...but I need a computer with working USB ports for school. I guess it's just part of prioritizing.
I'm about 98% sure of joining the guard. I'm actually terrified to tell my parents though. I know since I'm over 18 it's my decision and I can sign without their consent, but I still want their support. I need their support. They won't like that I have to leave my monster behind for a little bit while I go to basic...and that will be extremely hard but in the long run it would benefit us. And they won't like the idea that I could be deployed and honestly I don't like it either, but it would be part of my job and I can accept that. I can get a job that would keep me out of combat if I ever were deployed. I just want nothing more than to hear them say, "We don't understand your decision and we may not agree with it but we support you." Before I tell them I'm getting all my questions answered, and any questions I think they may have I'm getting answered. I want to go in the conversation prepared and show them it's not a quick decision that I've put thought and effort and time into it.
Anyway, what is everyone's plans for the weekend? AND what are you having for lunch/dinner? I'm hungry so maybe I'll get some ideas from what you guys are having.

How do you expect your parents to react to your decision? You must have an inkling, having dealt with them all your life. This is something they should be proud of. The hardest part of the whole process should be dealing with be apart from the monster, not their reaction.
Good luck with the Guard, I wanted to join the Army / Navy, I had a couple jobs picked out, went through everything, was set to go but a medical condition in my eyes kept me out, really through me off for awhile since it was what I felt I should be doing.
Anywho, point is if its important to you, ppl should understand
ps. dinner was pork roast and mash taters
