About Me
NEW!! PLEASE READ THIS ABOUT ME.... I am joining the ARMY. Yep...you heard me right. My life must change and this will do it for me. No kidding, right?! No one may completely understand but here are my reasons.....
(#1) I'm bored with my life as a whole. Not that I have a bad life, I'm not saying that at all. As a matter of fact that's the farthest thing from the truth. I'm just in a rut and want something completely different. That means job, home, people, everything. I need a new direction....FORWARD! Not stand still.
(#2) I want to be motivated everyday! Right now I have absolutely no motivation...to either get up outta bed in the morning (or afternoon, depending on what day of the week or time of the day it is I roll over and say I should get up and go to work or just to enjoy the sunshine)...and I have no motivation to lose weight, to clean my house or do laundry, to wash my truck, to cook, which I love to do, to see my all friends, to see my Mama for that matter. I'm not depressed, just not feeling it....that drive to get out and do things and live my life.
(#3) I've always wanted to be in the Army since I was a teenager playing Army with my brother and his best friend. Camping and hunting and all that fun outdoor, boy stuff. That's always been fun to me. I was in Army ROTC my first year of college at UGA. I felt right at home and had the time of my life with my fellow soldiers-in-training. Well, when I came home to Clayton State they didn't have ROTC so I didn't pursue it...UNTIL NOW.
Believe me, I've done my research before I've decided to jump both feet first. I'm not too old for the Army...they'll take me up until I'm 42. I do have to lose weight and get in shape before I can sign a contract, but I can do it. And you ask 'Well if you can lose weight for the Army why can't you lose weight for yourself?' Good question...the answer is....this IS for myself. But it's about more than just losing the weight.
So far everyone (except HOT DOG) has supported me in my decision. Even my Mama! And let me tell you, I don't know what I would have done if my Mama said she didn't want me to join. OMG, I'm just glad she said go for it. LOL There are some who still don't know my plans. I want to see and talk to every one of my friends about it if they care to hear it straight from me. I want to say a special 'Thank You' to Matt Burney for your love and support and our 3+ hour conversation. LOL There will be many more of those before I'm gone...for sure.
I'd ship off ASAP if I could but I have about 7 months (end of March '08) before I think it'll be a good time to go. I have to lose weight and get in shape, take the ASVAB, find someone to take my job and train them and help with end of the year paperwork and closing stuff, also my lease on my apartment is up at the end of the year so I have to put all my stuff in storage.
It's all for a new beginning....A NEW ME. And I am too excited and am so looking forward to it that 7 months can't come fast enough. LOL
Please feel free to email or comment me. I want your support. If you're gonna call me stupid (HOT DOG) then you can keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself!! I'm a grown woman and have made an informed decision and this is what I want. Sincerely and truly, deep down to the bottom of my heart, I do want this for myself.
Wishing all my friends and family love from their soon-to-be Soldier Girl!
I'm very independent and am keeping myself pretty busy these days with pool, work and sleep. No joke, I bearly have time to do laundry and clean my house anymore. My friends don't even see me as much as they'd like (or not, hehehe, who knows) I want my man to have his own life, too, but also have time for me. I don't want to always be the one giving up plans with my friends or things I want to do just to please. It should be about just ME sometimes, too.
I love my friends! They've always been there for me above anyone else. I will not give them up anymore for anyone. Even if my man doesn't like them; I'll make time for them and see them by myself. I would expect the same if it were reversed. Not everyone gets along with everyone else's friends. My friends are part of who I am as a person. Quite a few have helped me grow into the woman I am today.
I like being by myself most days and I'm lonely as hell for someone's company on others. See, this is what being single for so long has done to me. I need a man and I won't feel this way.
I am who I am, don't try to change me. I am still growing up and creating who I am. I'm a work in progress. You'll love me just the way I am or you can keep moving. That includes my tattoos...I am just beginning. I love ink and enjoy the pain and pleasure of every one I've gotten so far. I'm thinking about new ink everyday. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPONSOR ME, MY WALLET IS ALWAYS OPEN! (This one I laughed out loud at!)
If you ask the right people, I know everything and I talk too much. I am very affectionate and don't mind showing it.
I procrastinate more than anyone I know, but I have good intentions.
I love cats. Sometimes more than people.
