Bring a little Silver back into your life…
Lol, I’m back from the hell that was Camp Shelby, MS! Seriously, even for an Army school, it sucked. Also managed to bang up my knee a good bit, and I think I broke my nose. If I get a headache every time I touch it, is that a bad sign? :-d I learned some stuff, and got some good practical experience, so it wasn’t completely worthless, but the learning environment could have been better. Our small group leader in the second week actually made things a bit better. It’s amazing how a good sense of sarcasm can make an otherwise miserable exercise enjoyable.
Such is life in the Army…In the short time I was gone, I’d forgotten how completely wonderful riding the motorcycle was. Luckily, I took the time to remind myself of that today. It was great! Just cool enough to make the leather jacket a necessity, but warm enough to not shiver. Perfect weather!
I’ve hooked up with a friend. Not sure how it’s going to work out… I’m afraid I might trample him into the ground… He’s a bit more sensitive than the guys I usually date – like the wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve-type sensitive. It kind of bothers me, and it bothers me because it bothers me because it’s so completely sexist. Arg. Well, I’m just going to see how it goes… I’ve been talking to Deven on a pretty regular basis, and that makes me happy.
It was a serious heartache to leave him behind in Iraq. Crushing might be the right word… I do hope our lives bring us back together some day, if not as a couple, then at least as friends. Hopefully we’ll at least keep in touch…later
