WOW

So, remember when I said that things were going good with me and the boyfriend??

Scratch that.

I think I am single.

Because he is a jealous son of a bitch who can't accept that people aren't perfect. He's allowed to say whatever he wants, he's allowed to say the meanest possible things to me, to make me feel like I'm two inches tall. But I can't say anything at all to him. Fuck. That. Bullshit. I finally got sick and tired of it and said the one thing I KNOW would piss him off the most.

So that resulted in him in my face talking more shit. Him packing a bag and peacing out. My take on all this? Good riddins motherfucker.

Damn birds!

So, like a said in my last post...I was attacked by like 3 birds not too long ago. I think they thought I killed thier buddy or something but I swear it wasn't me!!

Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself....so I was on duty on a Saturday a couple weeks ago and me and the other 2 guys on watch with me were hungry. So we decided to go grab breakfast at Wendy's before colors went down(the raising of the flag at 0800). One guy stayed behind and me and the other guy went. Well...on our way back I'm driving right beside another car and this bird divebombs in front of our cars. I see the little guy getting too close and just KNOW that one of us was going to hit him. He made it past my car but then hit the tire of the person beside me and the next thing I know the bird flies(not because HE was flying, but because he did a circle AROUND the tire) in the air. I look in my rearview mirror and see him hit the ground....I was so upset!!! The guy in the car with me was laughing because I was sad about the poor little bird getting hit. I can't stand to see animals get hit by cars, let alone, me hitting them. I cried when I hit a bunny a couple years ago. I know, I'm a big baby. Anyways....

So we get back to the command and eat our breakfast burritos. Then at 0755 I head outside to do colors. Well, as I'm trying to hook up the flag to the hoisty thing I hear these loud screeches from the bushes to my left and right. I look to my left and all of a sudden this bird comes flying STRAIGHT towards my face at full speed! I duck and he flies into the bush on my right. I was staring at the bushes like "WTF??" Then, 2 more come flying out of the bush that the other one just flew into heading towards me AGAIN! I ducked once more and cursed at the damn birds yelling at them that I didn't kill their friend. Then the music for colors started playing, I hoisted the flag up and saluted. But I had to keep saluting until the song was over so while I'm standing there I'm looking out of the corner of my eye, paranoid that they were going to attack me again! The second the song was over I ran inside and told the guys what had just happened. And they just burst into laughter.

I, on the other hand, didn't think it was too funny. The birds probably have a hit out on me now.

Update*

Hello again everyone! I always seem to post one then dissappear for a couple weeks again. My bad! I have a good excuse for my no posting tho....really! I promise! =^)

I've been hella busy at work these past few weeks. My office buddy is getting out of the military *sniff*sniff* and today is his last day. But for the last few weeks he's been turning all of his work over to me. So I have my normal workload, which has always kept me busy but a steady busy ya know? Now I have his workload too which just makes my day hectic...I mean really hectic. I have a whole new group of people from my command coming up to me and asking me all the questions that they use to ask him plus the group that has always come to me.....when will the madness stop?? At first I wasn't really wanting to deploy this year but now I'm kinda looking forward to it. Not only will the money be great but then certain tasks that I have here, I won't have when I'm overseas. SO the madness will be like this for 6 more months, then I'm outta here for 6 months.....then I'm OUT!! WOO HOO!! It's getting so close I can feel it. I mean, there is nothing wrong with being in, but it's not something that I can see myself doing as my career. Everyone at work thinks I'm going to change my mind and stay in because everyone says that they want out but re-up instead. My response? Hell. No. haha

When I get out I'm going to go to school full time and work part time. If boyfriend and I are still together he says that he'll re-enlist for 4 years of shore duty so I don't have to worry about working 40hrs a week and school.

Speaking of boyfriend....things have been really great lately with us. We were in a rough patch....a really rough patch. lol. But things are turning around and he hasn't been getting all jealous on me. When things get bad I always try to remember what my mom says about relationships.

"There are going to be days that you love the person. But there will also be plenty of days when you feel like stabbing the person. That doesn't mean you don't love them. You're human and when you live with someone and spend THAT much time with someone then, yes, there will be days when you love them but don't like them."

I completely understand what she means too. It's not like he beats me or truely controls me. He can be a jealous S.O.B and sometimes I just want to slap him. But since we've been together I can see the things he changed to accomodate me and I've done the same for him. I've worked on my anger and my stubborness(which use to be REALLY bad) because I knew that it just caused problems. I've gotten better at admitting when I'm wrong and voicing my opinions without screaming. He's gotten better about getting to know some of my friends before he jumping to conclusions and he's worked on talking to me and not bailing when he gets pissed. Of course we still get into screaming matches sometimes because we are both stubborn but it doesn't happen often.

Anyways....so lately we've been househunting(to rent, not buy) and we found the cutest house in our price range. It has a sun room, and big jacuzzi tub, a converted garage into a family room and the window sticks out like a little nook. It has great potential to be a really great home.

But we aren't going to get it. =^( The neighborhood sucks so much! Right now we live in apts that have robbings every other day and James carries a gun on him most days. That is why we are trying to steer clear of areas like that. The house we looked at is across the street from these apts that have the same kind of problems as our current apt. It was such a disappointment because the house is adorable...I wish I could just pick it up and set it back down in a nice little neighborhood.

Well, I have to go PT right now. Have a good week yall!!

Oh!!! And btw.....next time I have to tell yall about me getting attacked by birds the other day!
