Meme: The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day.

day01 Today my sister set the webcam up beside my brother's bed so I could watch her tackle him while he was trying to sleep, then Bryce put a picture of Rorschach up to the camera and did the voice and said he hated the police and he liked killing and he asked for a pony. They also took that picture of me, and apparently are in the possession of hundreds more just like it.

If you guys are ever in Maryland you can get your clothing eaten by my pony.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FINE PLAN. Actually there's a good chance we'll be in the neighborhood this summer. Or, there was a good chance, but now money sucks so I dunno. Pfffft.

What, seriously? Why were you planning to be on the East Coast?

I can't believe I forgot to even mention it to you! I got distracted by crap. I don't even know if it's even been cancelled. My mom was hired to teach at a conference in DC!

How the hell did you forget to mention that to me. I will kill you.

You should find out if it's cancelled or not. Was the plan that she'd get paid to be there?

Furious arguments about money pushed it to the back of my mind! My brain was waiting for the right reminder to spit it out! You should've mentioned your horse in this particularly way before!

She gets to go for free! So she's going regardless. My folks really want to take us to see HISTORICAL LANDMARKS so they wanted us all to go but yeah, money. My dad's been doing a decent amount of work at Rattlesnake Ridge, though, so I dunno. I have no idea what's really going on up there.

Historical landmarks and dolphins. I hope money works out such that you can come, obviously. Have you heard anything else about the whole cash situation lately? Because I don't know how worth it the history is if you are broke and stuff.

Dolphins? Woah.

I have no idea! I haven't been up there. I know that pretty soon my dad is paying me five hundred bucks for the work I've been doing for him over the semester, so that's a good sign, right? I think it is. I also really really need that money, though, so maybe a PROLIFERATION OF CASH is not the reason.

If you were in Maryland you'd be required by federal law to visit the National Aquarium, so yes! Dolphins.

IT COULD BE A GOOD SIGN. Soon you will be back there for the summer and know.

Aquariums are cool!

I WILL LIKELY BE BACK THERE SOONER THAN THAT, though my parents don't like to talk about that stuff unless they're angry or flipping the fuck out over it, which makes it difficult to judge circumstances!

It's the coolest aquarium. I am unbiased. It is just awesome.

Well, if they stop flipping the fuck out over stuff as regularly it's... probably better?

What else does it have?

Well. My dad works freelance, they're pretty used to being broke in some way or another, so not necessarily? I DON'T KNOW.

Sharks. And The Gooberfish. And an entire floor that you can walk through full of tropical animals and fish and birds and stuff flying around. And a giant stingray pool. And hanging skeletons. The last time I was there there was a significant display of jellyfish. Observe.

I DON'T KNOW EITHER THEN. I guess you'll know when you know?

... Why hanging skeletons?

Hanging whale skeletons.

Oh. In that case, it makes more sense! THEY MUST BE HUGE.

THEY ARE PRETTY LARGE, yes.

Holy shit. Someone needs to make a Rorschach AMV to Black Light Burns - Lie.

Huh! The fact that I know the song was written about the members of Limp Bizkit kind of ruins that association for me.

...why did you go and tell me that.

I was compelled.

True story: I knew that picture was you before I saw your LJ name just based on your smile.

I'm not entirely sure that counts as a smile.

It's close enough!

It's a TERRIFYING GRIMACE.

Did you ever get your eye back in the socket?

I think medical intervention is required.

You're having too much fun with that web cam lol. So how is school going? I don't start my classes till next week. I will be putting in 10-12 hours a day at school >

Holy shit, that's a lot! School is alright. I got really stressed about halfway through the semester because I was sick basically from January on and I ended up missing a bunch of classes, so I fell behind. :/ It sucked, my German grade dropped to a D and my Linguistics grade dropped to a B. But I've managed to bring my German grade back up to a C, so my GPA will be okay!

Where are you going to school? Is it going to be, like, INTENSE COLLEGE or what? Heh, I think we'll graduate at about the same time! It takes you around two years, right?

I am in Goose Creek, South Carolina which is about 15 minutes out of Charleston.

It will be a very INTENSE school, which is why we have to do so much studying and the material is all classified so it cannot leave the school house. We are basically cramming a 4 year program into a yearn and a half. It will be crazy but I know I can do it. We also have to keep up physical standards while we are here so we have to get up to pt at 5am, it sucks. I am doing fine though. Did a PFA today and did 92 sit-ups 37 push-ups and my mile and a half in 13:50, this after doing nothing for weeks and being in a new climate. So yay ^_^ I graduate A-School in 6 months and will be able to take some leave time. Then we have Power School which is 6 months and then Proto-Type which is 3 months.

That'll be crazy for you, because you were used to staying up so late for work. But you're probably adjusted to it by now, right? Or did you do something different in boot camp? I hope I'll be able to come up so we can hang out when you have leave -- actually, scratch that, unless I have some crazy job down here in Tucson I don't see why I wouldn't be able to. We should make epic plans!

Ha! Wow, your entire life is school for a long fucking time, huh. I bet the Navy's real eager to have you sign on for more than the initial five years, after all that time training you. How're you liking the military, anyway? Did boot camp sufficiently wash your brain? ARE YOU A LOYAL AND PATRIOTIC SAILOR?

Yes boot camp got me used to getting up early and not getting much sleep. Basically I had bronchitis my entire time there and wasn't able to sleep or get antibiotics till my last day there, it was fun.... Oh and also pt every day :P

And we most definately need to hang out on my leave!

Oh, man, seriously? I had strep throat throughout this whole semester, and that sucked enough, I didn't even have to run around or anything? I'm surprised that you ever got better. How come you didn't get antibiotics, though? You'd think the military could provide that easy.

They won't let you see a doctor unless when you see sick call you have a very high fever otherwise they just give you cold medicine and call it a day. The only reason I was able to see a doctor in my last week of boot is that my eye was swollen shut. That is when they discovered that the reason I wasn't getting better was I needed antibiotics because I had a bacterial infection. I had bronchitis, strep throat, and an ear infection. Yaay...

Holy shit, that's fucking ridiculous. YOU COULD'VE AVOIDED LIKE, MOST OF THAT SHIT.

Yes they don't really care much about you in boot camp, except to correct you if you are wrong, which in boot even if you are right you are wrong... so lots of yelling and bitching at you...

Fun.
