| Writer's Block: Vacation All I Ever Wanted |

My perfect summer vacation would be to either just travel through Asia, Europe, or the States. If I were in the states I would get in a car and just drive and drive and see as many places as possible. I've had the urge lately to just get in my car and drive and drive and drive until I just can't anymore but I really don't want to get lost in Japan. Pack some good tunes, some goos snackage, a map, and just GO. Get away from everything and have more time to think about who you are and what life is all about..... That's my perfect summer vacation.

Fuck you University of Phoenix. That’s right… I said FUCK YOU. Do you really enjoy playing your mind games with me? Acting ridiculously stupid when I ask you questions. My questions are simple…. What do I need to do to start my classes back up and how do I apply for financial aid? Would you look at that? Wow… so simple and yet you choose to take the most unimportant parts of my e-mails to answer. I gave you my mother’s phone number because IF you wanted to talk to someone on the phone you can call her seeing as she still LIVES in the United States and you are banned from calling outside of the country. I only mentioned this so that IF you had information that needed to be relayed over the phone you call her. That doesn’t mean that she is your only form of communication to me, as I mentioned in the letter. You could have sent me the information over an e-mail. I’m obviously e-mailing you so you know I can contact you. Seriously, are you that fucking lazy that you can’t DO YOUR JOB. Instead of sending me information on how I can get back into school and make something of myself while my husband is DEPLOYED you chose to send me a form that I have to fax back to you that allows you to speak with my mother as a third party. All that crap you just sent me in useless. I don’t own a fax machine. I LIVE IN BUM FUCK NOWHERE JAPAN. There is no KINKO’s here! I can’t just pop out to the store and get a fax out! In the time that it took to explain how I could fill this form out and send it back to you, you could have easily explained to me how to further my education. How to apply for financial aid. But instead, you sent forms at me. That have NOTHING to do with my questions. And don’t even think of sending someone out to this little rant to post a comment about how I can just simply call a 1-800 number and talk to someone who will be happy to explain the situation to me. How about you simply pull head from arse and e-mail me back with the answers to my fucking questions. Get your shit together, get some common sense before you e-mail people back with useless shit, maybe go to school and get a degree that allows you to better communicate with others.
/carry on.

Your Word is "Fearless"
|
You see life as your one chance to experience everything, and you just go for it!
You believe the biggest risk is being afraid and missing out on something amazing.
Sometimes your fearlessness means you're daring. You enjoy risky activities.
And sometimes your fearlessness means you're courageous. You're brave enough to do the right thing, even when it's scary.

"You believe the biggest risk is being afraid and missing out on something amazing." <-- that describes me to a Tee. XD

luckily i'm feeling much better which is awesome because i have to work tomorrow.
i need to make a grocery list for tomorrow. i'm going to bribe steven into maybe buying christmas stuff too. we need a tree and some ornaments. he wants to decorate our balcony with lights too so we might do that lol. i also have to make a list of things to get for thanksgiving. i can't decide if i want to get an already made turkey, some slivers of turkey breast or actually buy a turkey and make it. i've never done any of that shit so this year will be an experience. especially since steven invited over 5-6 of his friends over. I don't blame him thought because they are in the same boat as we are; away from family and friends. they even offered to make some dishes and bring them with them.
i'm trying to think of quick meals to make that can be easily reheated so when he comes home he can just nuke it and eat it before bed. Not coming up with any ideas.
I'm so fucking ready for our shit to get here! I want my clothes and dishes and my big comfy chair! *pout*

it's not the job i hate. it's the schedule i work. when I come home from work steven is already in bed. the only time i see him awake is when he gives me a kiss goodbye in the morning. this is the schedule that people with children work to support them. not a couple who should be enjoying their first year of marriage.
if steven leaves for iraq in jaunary then I will work this job to get me out of the house at night so I can avoid as much as possible sleeping at night alone. But if he does not deploy in january I will begin searching for a job that allows me to spend more time being a wife. i did not come to this country to sit on a base and serve drinks to people who get to enjoy life. i flew 16 hours and some odd miles to be over here with my husband and best friend. I am not happy. i am not excited. this is not what i wanted.
I stand in a bar from 4:00 - midnight watching officer's wives play some stupid Bunco game and drink fucking water all night. no drinks = no tips = bored out of my mind = unhappy.
bullshit.

i've been having "fun" with a few people back and forth on the election but i haven't actually sat down to write about it personally. By the time most of you read this the mainland USAer's wil already know who's president while I have to wait until this afternoon when most likely I'll be at work.
The fact is that I'm am both mortified and saddened that ANYONE in the united states military would vote for Obama. These soilders more than anyone in the world know that he stands for "change" and his change consists of drawing our troops out of Iraq. They also know first hand that by doing so we make the last 8 years of being over there pointless. Haven't we already been through this before? We started a job, half assed it and then left? We're about to do that again if we pull out. We WILL bring the fight home if we pull out anytime soon. North Korea is hostile as ever, China is getting pissy again. Are people just this blind that they can't see? China and Korea obtained a file that was highly classified a couple of years ago from a trash can in India that had a memo stating "Your country cannot win against the United States without biological warfare." So what did they do? They opened a fucking neuclear plant...... Common sense people.
Next, there will always be taxes. Taxes pay the rich fuckers in washington so you really think they are going to allow for taxes to be out and done with on your paychecks? No. Healthcare? more like let's put the entire country on welfare. Some asshole who won't get off his lazy ass and do work is going to get some of my healthcare. that seem fair to you? The economy is struggling now but these changes aren't what we need.
We need a president who actually knows firsthand what it's like to be in war. Someone who worked his ass off right beside brothers in arms and knows first hand what these soilders and their families go through. Who knows that what was started needs to be finished. It may take time but in the end we'll come out winners.
who we really need is
but since that's not happening this century let's go with the other guy who truly knows about what's going on in Iraq and Afghan. Get your shit together people. If you weren't military before you might want to sign up now cause the economy is about to go to shit. It's not so bad, they pay you to buy groceries, live in a swanky apartment, provide cheap entertainment and in the end all it costs is that you put your life on the line for your family, friends, oh yeah and your country.

we had an earthquake the other night. it was the first one that I actually felt. I came home from my first day at work and was crawling into bed when the bed started shaking and rocking back and forth. the mirror on the dresser was going crazy to. I sat up in bed and steven was like "if it was bad the alarm would go off." It only lasted a couple of seconds so i wasn't too worried about it.
last night i worked in the officer's club and a lot of naval officers came in. the other bartender i was working with is navy but when they found out i was air force they decided to share their opinions with me. "Chair force" really... did you come up with that one yourself? so original. I made a little bit of money. Tonight they are having a halloween ball in the enlisted club and i'll be "bar bitching." It's an event so they don't want people who aren't really trained enough to mix drinks because they think it will be busy. I kind of doubt it but we'll see. They might prove me wrong. I might just underestimate how many people are on this base.
I asked steven last night to make the lasanga that was in the freezer and then save me a piece. I figured I would come home and pick it out of the fridge and heat it up..... but no. Steven decided that he would make me a plate and put it in the microwave "to keep it warm." It was left in the microwave for 6 hours before i came home. Why is it that he can have a technical srgt. yell at him for doing something and he never does it again. I tell him and he just doesn't care. lol. It was sweet that he thought to keep it warm for me but c'mon.... c'mon...
now... i'm going back to bed.

we all went out on the town last night and had an awesome time! All the bars are open on Friday but on Saturday only a few are open. We went down to My Place and I got drunk off of Whiskey Sour's and a Screaming Orgasm. yummy. XD Then we all wobbled down the alleyways and found this place called Forever Second. Steven and White played pool and Stripplin and I hung out. Stripplin started talking to this girl and she was feeding him with chopsticks. Steven and I downed some Red Dragon shots and a couple of Green Angels. On the way back to base Steven was helping Stripplin walk while White and I smoked cigs and tried not to fall over. Stripplin started runing around hugging trees and then he came up on a tree that he tried to jump on and climb but instead slipped and fell on his ass. All three of us were laid out on the floor laughing. It was a good night.
Tomorrow I have an appointment for an employment physical but they said to bring my paperwork and i have no idea what paperwork they meant. I'm getting the run around on this job because instead of the employer hiring me HR has to hire me and they are taking forever to get their shit together. I don't know what's going to happen but hopefully they get it together enough to let me know what's going on.

so it's pretty much official... steven just finished in processing and now he's going to be starting his outprocessing to go on TDY to Iraq. He'll leave at the end of January which means he'll miss my birthday and our first wedding anniversary. Of course i'm not happy. Who would be happy to hear that their husband is leaving for another 4 months? This sucks ass.

Break You Down - {Taking Back Sunday} |
] |
I just returned home from my first visit to a military dentist. Not all that fun. At least my civilian dentist put things nicely to me. I have genetically bad teeth. They are super sensitive and overly susceptible to decay. I have had 2 ½ root canals done (I have one that was started and never finished because of lack of funding) and about 5-6 fillings so far. I have to finish the root canal, open up another filling I had done because it looks like it’s infected, and have about 8-10 more fillings done. This really sucks. The only positive thing to come of this is that when stationed overseas Tricare pays everything. Not half, not a quarter…. Everything. My last dentist told me to drink soda’s and juice from a straw and that would help but this chick just told me to down the shit and that straw’s don’t help. Now I’m confused. Why is it that they always look shocked at your brushing habits? Who fucking brushes their whole mouth after every meal, mini-meal, snack and drink. No one does that. People have things to do and places to go. I bet even they themselves have never brushed so often in one day. I have to go back down to the hospital once Steven gets home so I can pick up my prescription meds and get my appointments again. Or… I’ll just tell Steven to get them after his own appointment tomorrow. Eh, screw that. He’ll never remember to do that. I still haven’t received a phone call or anything about the job I applied for. I was hoping to get a call last week but I’m thinking if I haven’t gotten one up til now that they’ve overlooked me for the position. The really bad part is that when I write down my job experience I can’t remember dates or people’s names or any of that so I just put down when I worked at PacSun. The bakery is closed down; I don’t have a phone number for Taco Bell, and fuck Raspberry Cool. I don’t remember anything from that place except that I got this weird taste in my mouth every time I went to work. Even thinking about them brings back the taste. I’m not sure how many people are on this base but they call this place “The Baby Makin Base” because everyone here either has 3-4 kids already or have that many before they leave because there’s nothing else to do. With all those stay at home mom’s out of the picture the only other people I’m fighting against are teenagers being forced to have jobs and military personnel who need a second job. Though I think by being a spouse I outrank the teenagers by just a little bit. Our stuff still hasn’t gotten here so I have to do lots of loads of laundry and grit my teeth and bare the fact that this house needs to be vacuumed badly. Steven and I watched War INC. last night. Hilary Duff played an Asian Pop Star. I love me some John Cusack. “It’s going to be very hard for me to kill a man who’s already half dead. But I’m going to try…. To enjoy it.” I would make country fried steak tonight except that I have no flour and only one egg. So maybe I’ll just make Goyza and some stir fry. Or better yet… Gyoza and rice. Steven bought me a rice cooker and steamer so I’m excited to use it. I want to buy some seaweed paper and make rice balls! YUM! I want to try to learn how to make sushi while I’m here too!

i was drying my hair this morning when i thought about when i went to see steven graduate from basic. afterwards his family and i were walking with him to go get something to eat and he was busy talking to his cousin mark. in basic you're not allowed to show PDA so no kissing, hugging or hand holding (yeah it sucked) but i was walking pretty close to him. he turned around to say something to someone else and his hand slammed into my boobs. he looked at me, pretty much stood at attention and said, "I'm sorry, Ma'am." After he realized what he'd done his whole face went red.
when we're at the store and he asks me a question and i don't answer him right away he says "Hello?" in the same tone he used when we used to talk on the phone, making sure I was still on the line.
not sure why i thought about those two stories but thought that i'd post about them anyways.

life is boring. we get the internet hooked up on Monday so that will be exciting... for like... a day. I just don't want to be stuck at the house not doing anything and wasting my life away on WoW while I'm in Japan. I want to see it all!!
i called my mom the other day. we talked for 96 minutes and 22 secons. haha. she told me that she got returned letters from when i was sending steven letters in basic training. they were apparently all wrapped in plastic and singed on the sides. apparently the mail truck they were on in texas had an accident and caught fire and burned my letters so they sent them back. steven wants to know what was written inside of them. he said "they must have had something in them that I really wasnt supposed to read." lol
we've been running from hotspot to hotspot all night trying to find internet fast enough to download the new WoW patch. I'm still onl at 57%
D: I can't wait to play again. I got on our friend White's computer for a little while and put all my vanity pets and mounts in my little tab window. I apparently achieved like a lot of shit from putting so many pets in lol. I had so much invntory space after that! I can't wait to play!!!! While Steven goes to work I usually clean up the house from the night before, go to the gym and bike for a bit (depending on the day) and then play Fable the rest of the time til he comes home and then I make us dinner. I'm still waiting on the call from HR about the bartending job. Steven said that the manage guy I talked to about the job told him that they should call me either this week or next. I really need something to do this is going to drive me up a wall.. I don't like that I'll be going to work when steven walks in the door from work but hopefully I can get a second job and it will be during the day and that will keep me super busy until I can figure out how to go back to school.
I'm fighting with U of Phoenix because their idiots they call employees are not doing their jobs of helping me to advance my education. poons....

I'm so fucking bored it's not even funny. There's NOTHING to do! Especially on sunday's. NOthing opens until 3 or 4. We have no internet at our house, no tv, no nothing. Went to 3 different places before we found internet fast enough to be able to check our bank accounts.
Having no money during a 4 day weekend really sucks!

WOW!!!
Ok, there is so much to write about it's not even funny. San Francisco was beautiful and BIG! I took some pictures there. But the main attraction.... Japan. This country is EVERYTHING we thought it would be. It's beautiful, the culture is amazing. Walking around, the slightest things amaze you. We stayed in Tokyo and walked around. We weren't IN Tokyo we were in the district outside of it so we didnt get to see too much nightlife or anything. Misawa is beautiful. We've bought a new car, a honda prelude and have literally spent all our money on getting everything set up. We only have $28.00 in our bank accounts as of now and that has to last until the 15th. We moved into our own apartment on Wednesday and it's amazing. I took loads of pictures but we don't have internet at the house so I'll load them up when we get that next week. I'm at the Mokuteki Club which is a coffee shop with several lounges upstairs. It's open 24/7. It's really nice in here. I might have a job as a bartender at the Enlisted Club as well as a day time job at the Graphics Shop. I really have to say that Japan is EVERYTHING we thought it would be. We're having a complete blast here. If we just had more money I think we would enjoy it even more. I'm going to be taking a Japanese language course on Monday's that I'm going to try and sign up for.
Last night we met up with steven's friends from tech school, Capeon, White, Stripplin, and Frebes and we played Beer Pong in their dorm room. I got so drunk that when Steven and I went home I got undressed to crawl into bed and ended up on the floor. He had to pick me up and put me in bed. We've had a blast walking offbase and passing all the bars. Here the drinking age is 20 so I can legally buy and drink here.
Here is the bad news...
the first day that we got here he walked in the hotel room and looked very stressed out. He sat me down and told me that his flight cheif bascially told him that in January he will be deploying to Iraq. It would only be for 4 months and no where near a combat zone but still.... Technically... he can't even do any work here because he's not "trained" so there's no real reason for him to go because he wouldn't be able to do anything out there. Right now we're planning for him to leave in Jan. but it just might not happen. If it did happen he would miss my 21st birthday and our one year married anniversary. It's really just all up in the air right now.
That's all for now! I'll be able to make better posts once we get the interwebz!

This makes me excited and angry at the same time. I can't count the number of times I told Steven that I wish there was something to do when flying or waiting for the damn boat. If only I had moved faster I'd be a rich bitch.
Mom threw us a going away party today. It was nice, lots of food and goodies. We turned it around and surprised her by buying her a birthday cake since her birthday was yesterday. She was all smiles and that made me happy. I had to walk next door to my brother's house to get my car and when I got over there he turned around and gave me a big hug. I almost started to cry. Today it's really hitting me. Really setting in that we're leaving and it's just going to be the two of us out there. That's kind of scary but I'm totally ready for it.
Last year on Father's Day we went to the store to get Steven's dad a present. We walked by the flowers and he was looking at them and picked some really pretty ones out. I thought he was going to buy them for his mom but he offerend to get them for me to take to my father's grave. I got upset. I wasn't ready. I haven't been there since the day I drove off the property. When I pass I don't even look in the direction of the graveyard. I think tomorrow, I just might be ready. I don't know when I'll be back and I feel like it's something I need to do before I leave.
