Wow...all I can say is that I'm really, really sorry. I've been a bad wingman to y'all. I've been gone for what? A month now? A little more than. So here's a crash course on why I've been gone so much:

-Boyfriend dumped me very unceremoniously, but I think y'all knew that already.
-Verbal vomit date turned into boyfriend and we're still very happy together. It's a very easy, comfortable relationship.
-Class. Lots and lots of class.
-The Air Force is really dumb sometimes with the rules they come up with. Common sense my ass!
-Class.
-Planning a trip next weekend for Memorial Day.
-Class
-Just now got decent internet back.
-Did I mention lots of class?

I have a language shoved down my throat seven hours a day, five days a week. Imagine your high school French or Spanish or Latin class. Now give it an alphabet that doesn't look the same, and sounds we don't have in any Romance language. Now stretch it out to last your entire school day. I get that until next July. -_-

Soo...that's my life in a nutshell. Well, the past month of my life, anyway. Now you get the gooey talk about the new boyfriend because you haven't gotten it yet. He's really...sweet. He's just an all around great guy. I have Seasonal Affect Disorder, which is basically seasonal depression. I need the sun to be happy. This place...is really, really foggy and rainy and cold. I love the place, it's absolutely beautiful...but the weather leaves something to be desired. So I'll get into these moods, and when I get into these moods I start picking fights without even realizing it, often with those I'm closest to. I did this to him without even realizing it, and he didn't fight with me. He didn't get angry, he answered all my questions (*coughdemandscough*) calmly and promptly, he was just generally very patient and very sweet. When I apologized later, he said it was okay and he just figured it was part of being a girl, which part of it is. I've told him I love him and he loves me back, though we've both made it clear that neither of us are *in* love yet. It's very comfortable and sometimes it even feels like we're already married. We've talked about it some, but both of us know that it's extremely conditional. Big "if." I could see it, though.

Unfortunately, this is all the time I have for now. It's midnight and tomorrow's a duty day. I'm going to try to be on a little more often now that I've gotten into the swing of things.

~Fin~

Hmm...don't know if anyone's even reading this but oh well. No skin off my nose to post anyway, is it? ;P

So I had a lot of fun last night. Turns out he'd been looking at the wrong show times, so we got dinner, went to Borders (where I bought the next two Odd Thomas books!), then went to see Hop which was maybe a little young but still really cute. :3 Got ice cream, tried to go back to Borders but it was closed...and so was Best Buy...and Target...and Wal-Mart. And by that time we were just looking for a bathroom, so we found a Denny's. XD Walked over to the 7-11 then back to the car at the Denny's parking lot where we sat and talked for a few hours because neither of us wanted to go home and I'm finally off weekend curfews. We tried to cuddle in the front seat but the console was in the way. The back seat...I felt bad coz he has very long legs and a very small car. >_< But it worked. We wound up falling asleep and the only reason I suggested going home was because the car was off and I was really cold, so I wound up getting home at 5:30 this morning. I'm currently procrastinating on the shit ton of homework I've got waiting in my backpack.

So...I like him. He's a sweet guy and really nice, and we seem to have the same sorts of interests and values, if not the exact same likes and dislikes. It's also surprising and nice to find someone else here who hasn't slept with anyone else. Yes, at almost 20 I'm still a virgin but I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. All it means is I like to take things slowly and I just haven't found the right guy yet. I'd rather that than sleep with a guy who's only after that then leaves once he gets it and feel even more like shit than I do after a normal break up. I also have a feeling that this one's the kind of guy I could be friends with even if we did get into a relationship and it wound up not working out.

I think that's all for now, really. A good weekend at the end of a really shitty week. Now I'm going to go force myself to decipher more squiggles...and write them ten times each because I suck at spelling in Arabic. >_<

I'm alive I swear! *pant pant pant* I'll be able to blog a bit this weekend, In Shah Allah. I've got Sunday drive plans, though, and apparently a verbal vomit date-ish-type-thingy tomorrow. My roommate says it's a date but I barely know the guy. Either way, he's taking me out to see Hop to cheer me up and get me off post after one of the most consistently shittiest weeks I've had in quite a while. So I'll see y'all tomorrow night/some time Saturday! Just thought I'd let you know that I'm still here and still kickin!
