I realized that I haven't posted since I got back from ALS. Apparently having other things to do all day, including talking to people online again, takes away my attention from my LJ. I'll try to get back into it more often.

Leaving

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 16:03:58 GMT

I'm about to log off this computer for the last time. While it is good to be going home, I think I really am going to miss this place. It's been a fun month. I've met a lot of really awesome people, I'm gonna miss them a lot.

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 07:17:35 GMT

Kris still isn't answering my calls, and I'm gettin greally woirried now, but I guess there's nothing I can do, short of go to the club where she is, and I'm way too drunk to try to do that, so I guess I'll just have to twait. And I'll probably want to edit/delete these posts once I'ms ober, so here's your short chance ot read them whil ethey're up. I really hope I get to see Kris, because if she's really mad at me for some reason, I'm gonna be really upset, and I don't know what I'll do. I was really starting to like her, even though I'm leaving on Sunday. This really sucks. Although, it would have sucked even more if I would have met her in my 1st/2ns week, becaue then we would hae had so much time together, leaving owul dhave been REALLY hard. As it is, it' sjust tough. OK, I'm really goin gto bed now. My head it jsut sort of hanging won, as if I'm too drunk ot hold it up, and yhet I'm still able to tyupe reasonably decently. Seeing as I'm drunk, and right now I'm not even looking at the myyborad. mye ad is just hanging down like I'm asleep, my eyes are closed, and I'm still ypin gaway. Hope this looks IOK. I'm not even going to look it over after I opeh my eyes. not that I'll be veyr sober to understand whey you're/I'm/ typing. O, see everyone when I get home. UInles s you aren't in WI< in which case I won't see you when I get home, I'll see you whwenever you et back to hear. godonight. (Anmd good luck, you know who you are).

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 06:58:11 GMT

now I'm kinda worried that I pissed KRis off. She still ins't answering my phone. It probably isn't a big deal, I'm drunk, she's drunk, but I'm still worried as to why she isn't answering any of my calls. I hope I hear from her soon.

last friday here!

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 06:56:09 GMT

I'm fucking drunk! So I have no idea what this is going to look like. so excuse any typing ior spe,lling mistakes. I've had about 7 or 8 mugs of Mille rLight (I know, it's shit beer, but here in TN they don't have anythign good like Leinenkugels. Although on guy in my class from DC actually has heard of Leine's, I was happy.) os the 7 mugs, and then one shot of tequilla in the middle of that. IT seems lijk beer itself doesn't get me really drunk, but I take one shot during htat, and a half hour later the shot hits me and fucks me up. So, that's where I am righ tnow. And I helped finish a pitcher at last call, so I'm getting drunker by the minute. And I'm feeling good. Probably not quite as good in the morning when I hjave to take a friend to the airpot, and then pack up and leave. but I'll be fine. At least I'm just gonna hang out with Kris and not drive all the way home tomorrow. I'll probably be hurnitng. So, I'm gonna probably go to bed (After taking a piss, after tha much beer I gotta go like nothing), so I can get up early enough to spend the whole day with Kris. I'm really having a good time with her, even though she won't talk to my drunk ass right now.

Wow, I really typed that whole thing a lot faster than someone this drunk shoul dbe able to. I guess just since it's so much a habit I don't really think about it. It's almost a second language, typing, I don't even think about the actual keys I'm hitting, I just do it. It's just like speaking or writing for me. Except whenever I do actually mistype somethingm, I usually catch it (at least when I'm sober), and then go back and correct it, even if I'm not even looking at the screen. Well, I'm gonna go now, try ot call Kris again, and then head to bed. Goodnight, I love you all.

I am graduated! Just one more night of partying, then one night of [[censored]], then drive most of the way home, then meet a friend (finally) for the night, then drive the rest of the way home, to my roomate and my cat, both of whom miss me.

My weekend, finally

Thu, 09 Feb 2006 14:20:12 GMT

Friday was our biggest academic day. We had 2 writing assignments due, and a briefing in the afternoon. After getting all of that done, we were more or less home free. So, we were ready to cut up at night. I had a little "incident" at the end of class, where someone took my duct tape off my desk, and noone knew who did it. Oh well, I had another roll I could open if I really needed it.

After class, went out to the E-club, had a couple drinks, hung out, worked on deciding what to do for the night. I played some darts, did pretty well. Cole, a girl in my flight, came over to me, and said "hey, I want to talk to you, come over here. Take your drink." (my thoughts are in {}) {OK, this is going to be a long conversation, if I'm supposed to take my drink.} So, we go over to another area where noone's sitting, she sits down right in front of me. She takes my hand, and says "JD, you know that I like you, right?" {um, no, I didn't know that.} "I've liked you since the beginning of class. You're really sexy." {go me!} {but what about Matt, the guy you've been "dating" since week 2?} "I really want to do it with you." {damn! I don't know where this came from, but I ain't complaining!} "Tonight. Would you want to do it, tonight?" "um... sure." {what am I going to do, say no?}

At this point, she gets up and straddles me across my lap. In my muddled mind, I realize that there are people around us watching. {Is this going to be one of those cruel tricks where this is all a joke, and they want to get my reaction?} Then I hear that delightful sound of duct tape being pulled off the roll, and realize where my duct tape went, and what it was about to be used for. Soon my arms were attached to the chair, my hands were taped down to my legs, and my mouth was covered. I didn't resist because 1) Cole was still on my lap at this point; 2) There were at least 2 people actually doing the duct taping, and several others watching, so I knew I didn't stand a chance; 3) I knew I had it coming, because I knew from the beginning that with how much duct tape was attached to my reputation, it wouldn't be long before duct tape was attached to me too; and 4) I was interested to see what they'd finish doing. Cole got off me, to give easier access to finish taping me to the chair, so they taped both of my feet together, and attached them to the chair. Someone decided to "help" me by taking off half of the duct tape on my mouth and letting me finish my drink through the straw. How thoughtful of them. Then they put the duct tape back on my mouth, and added more.

Then 3 guys proceeded to carry me out the side door and put me on the sidewalk by the street. I wasn't sure if they were going to leave me there or what, so I bounced around in the chair until I was facing the bar again, and tried to then "jump" my way back towards the club, much to everyone's amusement. Somebody decided that was enough, and people started freeing me. Which hurts like a bitch when duct tape rips out your arm hair! Once I was freed we went back inside, and there was a lot of laughing and cheering, and some people bought me drinks. Overall, it was pretty funny and fun. And I got a lot of duct tape to add to the ball at home. And the entire thing was caught on video on a guy's digital camera, along with pictures from 4 different cameras/phones.

So, then we were finally going to go do something. We went to the other half of the club, and sang a couple of karioke (sp?) songs, then headed out to a club, Liquid. Had a reasonably good time there, nothing too spectacular. Most of the guys left to go to Hannah's Cafe, where we had gone a couple of times before, but me and the DD I rode with just stayed, rather than pay another $5 to get into a club for an hour (it was 1:30 at this point). Keith and I left a little later, and as were were pulling out of the parking lot saw 3 girls walking/stumbling up the road. Since I had already had enough "balls in a bottle", I rolled down my window and asked them if they wanted a ride. Much to my surprise, they actually did get in! So we drove them to "Gus's cafe", a little burger joint open till bar time. Went in, ordered some food, Keith and two of the girls sat down while I stayed with the really drunk one waiting for our food. She started talking about how she liked a guy working there, and she was gonna make out with him. She started talking to him, got his number, and told him she was gonna make out with him. {damn, why haven't I ever had girls randomly come up to me at McD's and say they want to make out with me?} Our food came, so we went and all started eating. The drunk one got up, we didn't think much of it, until we looked up a bit later and realized, "where is she? And where is he?" a few minutes later the two of them come back inside, both wiping their mouths. Oh dear. The other two (who both had bf's, btw) both gave her a lot of shit for it, how she was too good for him, blah blah blah. It was all pretty amusing. So while we didn't get any action, we at least got some entertainment. ;-)

NEW DUCT TAPE!!!!!

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 22:28:13 GMT

I was at Walmart today, and had to get another roll of Duct Tape. I brought two rolls with me, and I'm already 1/4 through my second roll. So, I needed more. While I was checking to see if there was any colors or anything I didn't have, my eyes came to rest on something. A new kind of Duct Tape I hadn't seen before. I was shocked, to say the least. Then the excitement grew within me, as I imagined the possibilities of using the strongest Duct Tape ever: GORILLA TAPE!!! If you're familiar with Gorilla Glue, you know how strong that stuff is. The tape is just as good. I had a hard time getting it to come off the roll, it's that strong. It makes me happy. :-) So I've now gotten two new rolls of Duct Tape since I got here: this stuff in black, 90 MPH tape in desert tan, from the BX. Yay, more things to add to the Shrine!

I'm heading to bed early tonight, because I stayed up WAY too late last night working on homework. Tomorrow I just have a test, and I'm not worried about it, I got an 87.8% on the pretest without studying, so I'll study a little bit in the morning. Things are going pretty well, it's good ot have those assignments done. But, I have all new ones to do for next week, so ick. I don't even know what exactly the assignments are yet, so I'm not going to worry about it. One thing I am kinda worried about, I ate Mexican for dinner, and I'm still full when going to bed, so I might feel icky when I get up. Oh well, I'll live.

It was awesome getting 8 comments to my last post (even though 4 of them were my replies). Keep them coming, and e-mail me sometime, 406B32A@angtec.ang.af.mil. I love hearing from people back home, it feels kinda weird being away from everyone, with no access to messenger or anything.

OK, now for a real post

Hi everyone! I know it's been a long time since I posted (and even longer since I actually wrote anything), but I got some time now, so here I am! I am currently at Airman Leadership School at McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base in Tennessee (wow that's long, I'm so used to the acronyms, ALS at McGhee Tyson ANGB, TN). I've been here for almost two weeks, and I have 3 more weeks of class left. I'll be getting home Sunday, 11 Feb. And I'll be starting right away on the 24/48 shift, so I'll have a lot more time during the week free, but less on the weekends. Anyone wants to do something, let me know.

Class hasn't been too hard for me so far. There are people freaking out about it, studying for hours every day, worried about passing. I'm not. There was a pretest on the second day, just to see what we know coming into it. It really wasn't that hard, although they don't tell us how we did. So I'm not really that concerned about the tests. The writings/speeches are going to be a lot of work, but probably not nearly as much work for me as for some others. In fact, a good number of the people in my class have been coming to me for help. We had a study group the other night, and since I had all of the stuff done already, I spent the entire time helping others.

I have already made my mark, and my reputation has already preceeded me. I had somebody I didn't know come up to me at lunch last week and say "hey, you're the guy with the Duct Tape, right? Let me see the wallet!" There's a good number of guys who call me DT, and I'm actually to the point of answering to that now. I bring a roll with me to class every day, and it actually gets used pretty often. My instructor even asked if he could use it to tape up some leaks in the windows of his room.

My other nickname here is Puppy Chow. I brought a little bowl of puppy chow (that Robin made for me, since I was rushing around getting packed) with me for the drive, and had most of it left when I got here. I offered it to some people, and they really liked it. So, I decided to get the makings for it, and bring it to class. I put a big bowl of it in the break room, along with a cup and a note asking for a little money to pay for ingredients. I'm going to make my third batch today, after buying $30 worth of ingredients.

Weekends have been pretty fun. Last Friday I went out to Cotton-Eyed Joe's, one of the biggest clubs in Knoxville. They line danced to everything. Rock, Big Band, even some hip hop. If you played "Baby Got Back", they'd probably still line dance. I gave in and tried to dance for a bit. Me and 3 other guys were all dancing around this one guy from our class who actually knew was he was doing, watching his feet, trying to keep up. I'm really ashamed to admit it, but... it was actually kinda fun. Somewhere inside of me, a little voice is screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" But, this will probably help me out, since it's a really cool club, and we'll probably be going there pretty often. All of Saturday (and Friday evening too) I had a suicide prevention training. It was pretty good, now I know reasonably well what sort of signs to look for that someone is considering suicide, and then what to say. I even got a certificate! Saturday night I went out driving in a 7 car caravan with 30-some people to The Strip, a street with a bunch of bars/clubs near the University. Had a great time, actually danced quite a bit, despite not drinking (DD). Danced for a while with a girl from here, thought there might possibly be something, but since then that's fizzled. Oh well. Sunday I slept until 2:30. Not that surprising, seeing as we left the club at 3, then went to Waffle House for some after-bar gut food. Got back here about 4:30, bed around 5.
This weekend wasn't quite as good, went to Joe's again, did a little dancing, got pretty drunk. Not as drunk as another guy, who had somewhere between 15 and 20 shots of tequilla. He didn't make the ride home without them having to pull over. Glad I was in the other car (not driving, btw). Saturday I just chilled most of the day, and then spent the night playing Texas Hold-em. I did pretty well, finishing second both games. Unfortunately, when you'll playing buy-in, second doesn't do you much good. But, it was definitely $10 worth of fun for the night.

Wow, that was a whole lot more than I thought it was going to be. So, to do you a favor if you don't necessarily want to read it, I lj-cut it. Anyone wants to get ahold of me, you can call or text me on my cell, (608) 692-3828. Or, you can e-mail me at my new address here, it's 406B32A@angtec.ang.af.mil. Hope to hear from people while I'm here!

Pay no attention to this post. Or the man behind the curtain. Or that strange smell.

I thought I told you not to click this link! You're a naughty person!

Here, answer these five things:

1. Have we met?
2. If so, where and when? If not, where and when would you like to?
3. What's the first thing you remember about me?
4. Do we stay in touch? Would you like it if we saw more of each other (or got the chance to meet)?
5. Would you consider me an internet acquaintance, internet friend, buddy, friend, close friend, best friend, family, lover or not a friend at all?

Now post them in your journal so I can tell you.

The Playboy
Random Gentle Sex Master (RGSMm)

Clean. Smooth. Successful. You're The Playboy.

You're spontaneous, and your energy is highly contagious. Guys therefore find you fun to be around, and girls find you compelling. You have lots of sex, and you manage it all without seeming cheap or being hurtful. Well done. You probably know karate, too.

Your exact opposite:
The Mixed Messenger

Deliberate Brutal Love Dreamer

It's obvious to us, and probably everyone else, that you're after physical rather than emotional relationships, but you're straight up with potential partners. And if a girl you want isn't into something casual, it's no big deal. You move on. BEFORE sleeping with her. Usually. At least you try to. Such control is rare.

If you're feeling unfulfilled, maybe you should raise your standards. New conquests will only be satisfying if there's a possibility of rejection.
