Some things to keep me occupied in the next few weeks/months...

1) Find Wacom and get cracking on the 99 Designs thing. Maybe make some money. (Thanks, Ness, for the link)
2) Renew passport (expires in Nov '09, but it takes a looooong time to get done these days) Home Affairs. That should be fun. I don't even know where it is these days...
3) Study AFAST and ASVAB. Seriously. Going to ace the AFAST (no pun intended). Will need to brush up on my maths and science. And learn American system of measurements etc. Blah. Silly Americans.
4) Get books from the garage - I have shelves, now I must put them to use, damnit. There's a photography book, my N+ and I want to find my LoTR.
5) Get a new tattoo or 3. Not the Big One - going to get that one with the Boy.
6) Write letters (maybe start up with LWT again... ) and send the Boy some more packages, when I know his new address for his new FOB.
7) Make money and Save.
8) Finish paying off debts.
9) Go to shows, but choose the ones I want. No more standing from 8am to 6pm anymore, sorry. Been there, done that. Earned my dues. I'm most grateful to all the people who have welcomed me back and told me that I have been missed. It means a lot.
10) Start running (find pouch for Zune and keys, for my arm - I can't stand running with things in my hands) and get control of my body again. Riding 2 horses, once a week, is just not cutting it. My abs have disappeared. I am sad about that. Very sad. Something must be done.
11) Archive the show backups on my brothers portable hdd. I've had it too long. The shows are old, they need to go onto DVD and get filed away.
12) Keep dreaming. I have so many things I want to do. I _can_ do them.

The boy called me now (and i called back, of course) while driving back from the course he's meant to be taking...
he had to skip it today (which is a pity, because he's REALLY enjoying it!) because he just got notice that he has to be out of his barracks BY MONDAY!
He had till Aug 10th!
but the Army is being ratty, and now he has to rush around like an idiot today, and then this weekend... trying to get things done that he thought he had plenty of time to do!!
PLUS, his body armour got stolen... so he has to pay for that ("a good $1000" he said...)
i mean.. who STEALS body armour, on an army post?!?
what FOR? everyone gets issued with it...
very weird. and VERY annoying for the boy.
shame. :(

so, to say he's stressed would be putting it RATHER mildly.

poor thing! wish i could help, but it's all mil stuff that only he can do...

i sent his birthday package today... shit.
definitely won't get there in time!
Maybe Bravo can send it on for the boy...?

and there's something in there for Bravo too, cos it was his birthday today...
bugger!!
the Army LOVES to mess up plans, don't they?

Here comes the soldier boy!
Papers are through! signed off! all done!
he has to be out of Schofield, August 10th!
Off to Grafenwoehr, Germany.

He called me, around 11:30pm - so excited he could hardly talk! :) it was so sweet!
I was out at a little gettogether at the US consulate - at the Marine house...  (was very cool - met the new Marines who've recently arrived - what a sweet bunch of guys!) - so i was awake.

I hope he went out to celebrate last night (because i haven't heard from him... no messages on IM or anything)
he's not awake yet, and it's just after 9

I'm so happy for him - what a relief!

i'm not going to push him for "decisions" though - we'll see what happens now. let things happen as they may.

i feel a little detached from him right now, i don't know why...
probably because i haven't "seen" him in a while.
and also probably because i was so worried/upset about losing Alchemy... which is thankfully not going to happen - B said he was glad to hear we thought that Al was just depressed, and he wanted us to try again with him. J and I took Al out for a walk, with Stormy, this morning (early - so i didn't get online... not sure if the boy was waiting for me or not... i have a feeling he wasn't though... that's what i mean about being "detached") and he was acting like his normal rambunctious self! full of nonsense! rearing and bucking and squealing and letting EVERYONE know he was back and he was THE MAN! It was wonderful - really made us sure about asking B about more time for him...
it was such a huge relief...

The Alchemy, and Stormy

i feel kinda numb now - but it's ok.

well.
the boy called me at 3:30AM to tell me his exciting news...
his papers are through division, just waiting on one more signature (the commanders) and then he's off to Germany.
so basically.. 90% certain.
he leaves in a couple of months... 2 maybe 3.
Carmen goes with.
but he says he might sell her when he gets there - because she's a gas guzzler - and he wants to buy a bmw.
when in germany, i guess...

so he says "go back to sleep, sweety and i'll be online later"
so i did.

i then dragged my tired ass (after a hectic ride on Catch yesterday afternoon - he's not been ridden in 2 months!) out of bed at 8am, just to talk to him... and he says "so ask me a question... anything"
and when i don't have any "questions" for him... he *yawns* at me, and says "well then i'm going to bed. i'm tired and bored."

gee. thanks.
boys. *sigh*

WHATEVER! I shall engage Boy Mode then.
See how he likes it.

also.
my mother made me SO angry.
i'm not posting anything on my other blog anymore.
i knew she read it...
but last night she says basically that i was whoring myself out "begging for money" online...
to get to Hawaii.
did i EVER beg?
i reread ALL my posts. i did no such thing!
just because i added some advertising? and some art for sale? and asked people to buy it?
wtf??!!?
THANKS MOM!
Way to show the love!

so. no more updates about him on there. that's for sure.
which means basicaly NO UPDATES. because he is PART of my life and i WILL be going wherever he is!

i was SO angry. and SO hurt. if that's what she thinks of me. wow.
