"..we need to talk, step into my office, baby..."

Sera was late getting to my house so she only got to stay an hour before she had to start her 8 hour drive back to military life. I showed her some pictures from my long stay in the hospital and we got caught up on each other’s lives. Its funny that even though we have complete opposite living situations, we both do pretty much the same thing during our “free time”: sit around, read, play videogames. She laughed at me when I explained my lack of knowledge for military life and comprehension of what “life on the base” is like. You would think with as many friends as I have in the service that I would have a pretty good understanding for what they do everyday, and what they’re allowed to do and such… but I don’t. I see the military as this giant caged island where everyone wears green and walk in straight lines and don’t speak unless they’re spoken to kind of thing, but come to find out, they aren’t quite that strict. They even get Martin Luther King Day off.

I was afraid today was going to be weird with long periods of silence after I explained more of my medical situation, but it wasn’t like that at all. When I knew she was coming at a certain time I started getting nervous like I do before anything that has the potential to be awkward, so I started reading and writing and doodling in my journal (which always calms me down). She was two hours late so I did a lot of reading, writing, and doodling. She looks the same, except I couldn’t remember if her arm muscles were always that big or not. She had her thick blonde hair braided into pig tails and had on really nice shoes. I forgot to tell her about that guy from high school being arrested for kidnapping his wife. She would’ve laughed. We did a lot of laughing at people in high school… leave me alone, I was bitter then, remember?

I’ve barely eaten anything all day; just a few pieces of cheese and crackers and a delicious Sarah Lee cheesecake bite (which I recommend to anyone who likes delicious treats). Bad Amy.

Why isn’t my background image showing up anymore? Darn it all.
