It was the plan, it wasn't the plan...that wasn't the question...

So

Chicago was AMAZING.

I found some really fantastic "art"...on a doorway on State Street....

Also paid a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art (Allen in apparently into modern art...who knew? Obviously not his girl friend...)

And found what looks to me to be a man upchucking. It was the sign for the water fountains....

And all in all, we had a great weekend, even when he stole my little sisters scarf (which...I stole from her...so fairs fair I suppose...)

AND my glorious sparkly silver hat...and wore them both...in public...I worry sometimes...I worry...*laughs*

Also, this last Friday I joined the Navy.

The one in the United States.

Controlled by the US government. So don't worry, no Blackwater for me. I will be doing "legal" things.

Aircrew.

Fun stuff.

Really.

I'm excited. Except for boot camp, which in the Navy is really lame'o'rhama.

Allen wasn't too happy, but he's ok now. I think. Or he's pretending. I can't tell over the phone. I hate the phone. Sometimes I want to smash it...

I have to learn how to swim now. I mean, I can swim to the point where I won't DIE, but otherwise...I'm going to look like a COMPLETE idiot in front of my recruiters. Which is stupid. I hate looking dumb.

I want to go to the gym today but I'm not going to have time. I went yesterday for a long time and my muscles don't hurt but my joints do. Which is stupid...I think my recruiter might make me go work out when I go up there for paperwork crap today. Greeeeaaaatt....just great. I workout alone, and I like it that way.

*mutters darkly*

I miss Allen.

I'm failing math class.

I'm a slacker.

I can't sleep at night.

And I haven't been to church in a long time. And want to go. But its Tuesday. So...its not gonna happen. I miss church...

Love,
