Hey Peeps!!! Word up, yo!
Not much to report. My ankle is doing better. It's really sensitive to awekward positions though. C'est la vie. At least it's not broken. I can even run on it, now. I ran around the lake here...it's a 3.26 mile run. I was able to run around the whole thing in half an hour! Yay for me. It was the first time I'd run outside since being deployed. I was pretty proud of myself. Hopefully I'll do well on my diagnostic PT test coming up next month. I'm working out about 5 times a week. Recovery from guard duty forces me to not be able to do much more than that. I'll probably increase my work-out to being 8 times a week seeing as how I'll be allowed to go to the gym during my work hours. YAY!!!!!! All this working-out is going to make me BUFF!!! *wink*
I went to the range on Sunday. I did pretty well...although my weapon was missing the extraction pin, forcing me to cock it every time I fired a shot (which isn't something to be doing with an M249 aka machine gun). I got all but 4 shots inside the target. I was so proud. Everyone was calling me "killer". No joke. A lot of guys at the range thought I was a guy until they heard me talk---then they were like, "Shit! That's a chick!!!" Made me feel good.
Everything is the usual. Oh, I got to see Matthew a couple days ago. I think he came here, to my camp, last Friday. We were able to spend 3 wonderful hours together. I needed that!!!

I LOVE YOU, MATTHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well. I should be getting back to doing some work. Take care of yourselves. Keep Matthew and I and everyone out here in your thoughts. Love you guys!!! Toodles.

Is it necessary?

"Necessary? No! It isn't necessary. Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?? NO!!! But it's sterile and I like the taste!" ~Dodgeball
Nope. This entry isn't necessary. I don't really have anything to add as of yet other than the fact that my clarinet playing is really coming along. I sound way better now than I thought I would. How 'bout that, eh?
Yes, Jenn. We'll definitely have to do a RHPS night sometime. I always wanted to see a midnight showing of it, but have had to settle with a midnight in-the-privacy-of-my-own-home viewing of the film. Not as kewl.
I would like to make a SHOUT OUT to my friends Sej and Abby! I miss you guys so much! I can't wait to be able to hang-out with you two again!!!! wee-oo wee-oo wee-oo. Wughghghgh! (that was supposed to be the chick voice from Kung Pow)
I would also like to thank everyone who visits my blog for all you words of encouragement, your prayers, and your advice (whether I've asked for it or not). I love and appreciate all of you, my adoring fan club!!! *smooches* Spiritual hugs for EVERYONE!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!
I know, I am a bit weird. Can't help it. Being deployed is making me lose whatever sanity I had left!!!! GRAR!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I've gotta run. Don't go crazy without me. Love ya'all. TOODLES!!!

Damn it, Janet!

"...The road was long, but I ran it. There's a fire in my heart and you fan it! If there's one fool for you, then I am it. I've one thing to say and that's, 'Damn it, Janet--I love you!!'..."
~Rocky Horror Picture Show
That's right. It's been non-stop RHPS for the past week.
"Hot Patootie, bless my soul! I really love that Rock and Roll!!!!"
I can't help it. I get the songs stuck in my head and then I can't stop singing them...and it makes me want to watch the movie. I'll be sitting in the guard shack while on duty---just singing away. It helps pass the time, boy, I tell you what!
Not much to report. I sprained my ankle really good the other day while playing basketball with the guys. It felt really good as you can imagine. Note the sarcasm. At least my people will have to tone down their incessant prodding for me to do more PT. Now they just jump down my throat about my clarinet playing. They're making me re-audition in July. OY!!! C'est la vie. Nothing I can do to make them stop being retarded. But have no fear, my fans, for I still hold a few tricks up my sleeve. They want to hear me play, well, I'll show them!!!! I've gotten some of my solos that I'd used during AIT, and I'm going to use one of them for my performance piece during my audition. My scales are coming along nicely, so I'm not too worried. Don't fret for me, my dear fans. Although, I won't turn down a few prayers and such.
I've gotta run. The "whip-crackers" are going at it again. OY VEY!!! Toodles!!!!!!!

SGT Klein

This is my friend, SGT Jason Klein. Amber, you'd asked for a picture of him...well, here you are. He works for the PAO (Public Affairs Office) as a broadcasting journalist. He's a pretty kewl guy to be hanging around. He helps make the time out here go by faster--he's funny. We enjoy a lot of the same movies and stuff. I've recently introduced him to the crazy antics of the Tortuga Twins. Oh yeah! He said they did too many gay jokes, but he said they were okay. Have no fear, I might be able to turn him into a Ren Fest lover yet! He's got potential.
On a different note, I might be forced into making a choice between "a rock and a hard place". I've been informed that I either need to re-enlist for 3 more years in order to move to a different duty station, or else I will be stop-lossed (aka grounded) to 4 ID and be forced to come out to the desert again...I'm kinda hosed either way. I've talked to Matthew about our options and it looks like I might be able to re-enlist and get sent to Ft.Leonardwood, Missouri. That wouldn't be too bad because I'd be closer to home and I wouldn't get shipped out to here again any time soon. So don't be surprised to find out that I'll be in the Army longer than previously anticipated. C'est la vie!
I hope everyone is doing well. I miss you all very much. I can't wait to get back to the states and see my adoring fan club! Thank you all for trying to stay in touch with me while I've been out here. I've been very homesick and it's nice to get letters and emails from you---little pieces of home. Take care of yourselves. Toodles!!!!!!!!!!!!
