I had a birthday monday. It was the most uneventful birthday in recent memory. No vomiting, no drunken shenanigans. I just had a nice expensive dinner with Kristyn and my parents. She gave me a few nice presents, my parents gave me some clothing and liquor. No money from relatives I see 3 times a year, no big party, just people I know well and care about. Maybe disappointing in relation to previous years, but I think I really prefer the modesty of it all. No pressure, no fuss, no preparation.
The family business has been slow, I've been slacking, what's new. I think I'll crack open my captain m. and rock out with some team fortress 2.

St. Patrick's day ruled despite a few snafus. I pissed off two good friends in one fell swoop. One is ok now, and the other refuses to talk to me. I tried to do everything I could to make it better today, but he's not having it. I'm sorry I pissed him off, but the ball's in his court now, I'll fucking do whatever it takes to make ammends, but he has to be willing to accept it first. Dude, if you read this, I love you like blood, the sooner we're cool, the sooner we'll all feel better.
My social life exploded in about 24 hours, I went from lonely to overwhelmed in record time. This makes me so much happier. I'm having fun going out, drinking, talking to friends, old and new and having adventures.
Life is an adventure and mine's finally living up to the hype.

I feel like I've lost my anchor lately. I have no singular drive, passion or inspiration anymore. The only thing seriously satisfying in a while has been mentoring privates during drill weekend. They have so many questions to ask me since I've been deployed. They're so eager to be good soldiers and to get deployed, to do their job. It's been so long since I felt that way. I've been so anti-army lately. The minute that I noticed that a couple of them think I'm cool, or respect me in one shape or another... I got those damned warm and fuzzies inside. That felt so fucking good. These are good kids and they're probably getting deployed sooner rather, and I almost don't want them to go without me. I want to keep then safer, healthier, and happier then they might be otherwise. Even if it means volunteering... I feel like I'm finally ready for my promotion, like I can be a good Sergeant. I feel this crazy parental instinct when I think about the situation. It feels good, better than anything seems to have in a while. I don't want to go back but I don't know why I should stay if I feel so empty and lost.
We'll see what happens when it happens I suppose.

Phase 2 was most definitely a success. Bar-hopping through Mainstrausse is as simple as walking acrossed the street. Thank you Duncan for feeding me entirely too much rum and coke, John for our favorite, jaeger, Cope for plowing the way through the packed crowds, and last but not least Nick for driving our drunken asses around. No thanks to Carly for bailing out with a weak excuse, or Chris for no showing. Flakes lose.
Now I get to look forward to celebrating someone elses 21st tonight.
St. Patty's day is the 17th and there's pub crawls to be had. I shall fill myself on Guinness and Irish liquors. Maybe I'll fast a little in the afternoon so I can drink cheap. Dinner is for suckers.
How long will it take for 21 to get old? Who knows, but I'm willing to wear it out sooner rather than later.

Phase one of the birthday adventure weekend is complete. Bar-hopped, vomited on a close friend, ate pancakes and woke up with the worst hang over I've yet had.

Asian Caitlin's party was much better than Will's birthday. 1 large dose of dancing, 1 small pinch of beer and a sizable dose of sake. I'd go more into details, but you'll have to settle for my charming story telling in person because I'm entirely too drunk and tired to type any mor...

The last three days I've delivered pizza, I've made 145, 101, and 96 dollars. Since when did our customers start tipping so well?
I think I'm being ignored. That's pretty lame. I also get the feeling that I have to be kept a secret from here on out. I guess that's just how things go.
I have today off and have no idea what to do with it. Somebody, anybody call me.

Being nocturnal sucks. No ones awake. I'm in a "fuck World of Warcraft" kind of mood. I really have no interest in being productive. I just want some company. Amongst other things I just want to see more daylight. I wanna see my friends. And I really don't want to go to drill this weekend. I think I'm going to come down with a really convenient stomach flu this weekend. I'd rather pay for a doctors visit than waste my weekend on the army. I have this really shitty feeling in my stomach that tells me I'm going to get deployed a lot sooner than I'd like... I could just be paranoid... but I can't shake it. I just want to move out of this basement and go to school.
I tried really hard to be nonchalant the first few days, but it gets harder and harder. I miss her and it's been less than a week. That's what I get for meddling in other peoples business though. Karma is paying me a visit.
When I came back it felt like I had just endured such a hardship for everyone that the world owed me something. I was going to take what I wanted regardless of other peoples feelings and I was going to make myself happy. I was wrong. I was such an asshole when I came back. I almost ruined a friendship and definitely complicated a few more. There's at least one person I feel I need to apologize to. Maybe doing that will make me feel better. Lets hope.
Hindsight is always 20/20... what a bitch.

Apparently since G.W.'s decision to increase military presence in the middle east, the Guard and Reserve have changed their former policies on the deployment limitations previously in place. Before, we were limited to 24 months in a 5 year period... I'd have a deployment limitation of no more than 10 months of active duty for the next 5 years. The policy has not only been changed, it's pretty much been annihilated. The new policy states that there IS no limitation to the period of time a guard or reservist can be deployed, just that they'll receive extra pay if redeployed within 2 years of their previous deployment, and also if they do indeed have to serve more than 24 months active duty. The other perk is that instead of 16 month deployments, they're trying to shave them down to 12 months, including training... wow, 2 months shorter than the last one, thanks guys. That really helps prevent the entire stagnation of my life that happens when I'm deployed, thanks for the consideration.
I've said it several times, and I'll say it again: Fuck Bush, fuck the army, I'd rather have 30k in student loans and drive a beater than put up with this bullshit anymore. School and a car just isn't worth 3+ years that I've given these fucks, not to mention the next 3 of my contract.
Democrats... please save me.

Got dumped again. 2 in a row. I'm on a hot-streak. I'm not overly bitter, I'm not overly hurt. I kind of feel like telling myself, "I told you so." It's like ironically half expected. Anyways, good luck Kristyn in your next endeavor.

I'm in a transition period between schools so it looks like I'll be taking the quarter off, let me tell you how heart broken I am... I hope you all grasp the purity of sarcasm in that last statement. I'm delivering pizza at Papa Johns and it sucks balls go figure... but I make better money than at most pizza places. I sold both computers which has temporarily lifted me from me previous poverty. Hurray, I no longer have to make weekly visits to pawn stuff off to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) radtastic

I'm so behind in schoolwork that it's vomitliscious. Yes I just created that word for exclamation sake. To all my personal friends: Please pretend I don't exist for the next 2 or 3 weeks. My house is no longer a hang out. My basement no longer enjoys an open door policy. I need to get my shit together because I refuse to waste my 3k in tuition this quarter on shitty grades. Once I start working I'm going to have even less time. My only hope for a social life is that the community college I go to next quarter is easy enough to allow me one. My only exception is K-sauce... I need my K-sauce... as I need sanity.
I won't see anyone for a little while. Know that I love you guys though.
I also need to sell 2 of my 4 computers. A mid-end laptop and mid-end desktop. I'm selling them each for 700-800 dollars. If anyone's interested please contact me via email, livejournal or cell phone (if you know me personally).

I'm really busy with school. I'm also poor. My $200 dollar cell phone was stolen. I bought an 80 dollar replacement. Art school tends to be expensive. I got an $80 parking ticket tonight. The army won't pay for any of my tuition this year. I don't feel like I have time to find a job let alone work one. However I have an awesome girlfriend, great friends and a sweet car. Atleast I have the essentials covered right?
I feel swamped or else I would have updated a lot sooner. Thanks for the LJ nudges, they didn't go un-noticed.
