I'M HEADED TO BASIC.

I leave for the hotel I'll be staying in before my flight to the Chicago-area Bootcamp at 2:30 PM today.

I LOVE YOU ALL. SEE YOU IN EIGHT WEEKS.

Leighsponse.

[1] I committed suicide: NO.
[2] I said I liked you: I'd breathe a sigh of relief and not feel like as much of an idiot.
[3] I kissed you: Bump noses. I kissed you first.
[4] I lived next door to you: "AYO WANNA COME OVER AND WATCH CARTOONS AND SHIT?" Or I'd just show up with nerdy gifts and ask to be let in.
[5] I started smoking: I'd refuse to kiss you and tell you it was gross, and probably make fun of you.
[6] I stole something: ZACK, DID YOU STEAL THAT LEGO?
[7] I was hospitalized: I'd sleep next to you till you got out. Keep you smiling. I would not leave that hospital.
[8] I ran away from home: Seeing as to how we'll be living together, I'd laugh at you and leave the door open, and then laugh at you ven harder when you came back.
[9] I got into a fight and you weren't there: I would FIND them and BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF THEM. MINE.

What do you think about my:
[1] Personality : Mordecai with a frying pan.
[2] Eyes : Bright, beautifully curious gaze. It's difficult to not stare at.
[3] Face: Full, pouty red lips and a defined smile that brightens my day no matter what.
[4] Hair : Onikobe Rin Satori, yes please.
[5] Clothes : Beautifully fancy and well kept.Mentlegen.
[6] Mannerisms : I love when you wag, and when you swivel around and bounce when you're excited. I love how you wine when I do something you disapprove of.

Other:
[1] Who are you? THAT IS STUPID MARCHOSIAS, YOU ARE BEING STUPID.
[2] Are we friends? Best. Friends.
[3] When and how did we meet? GA2. You were an obnoxious tit I disliked.
[4] How have I affected you? You've made me happy and willing to push forward.
[5] What do you think of me? Amazing. Fantastic. Beautiful. Stellar. Astounding. Breathtaking. Cute. Loyal. Childish. Mature. Soulmate.
[6] What's the fondest memory you have of me? Kissing you atop Willett Falls. Murder sheets. Jethro. Simon. Lets draw on the fog.
[7] How long do you think we will be friends or enemies? My one and only.
[8] Do you love me? Undyingly.
[9] Have I ever hurt you? Mmmm, no. You've done stupid things. Never hurt me.
[11] Would you kiss me? FUCK YEAH.
[12] Would you marry me? GONNA PUT SPACE ON MY FINGER? SPACE. ON MY -FINGER-.
[13] Emotionally, what stands out? This is going to sound terrible. Your will to serve. To help. Your bashfulness, and your gentleness.
[15] On a scale of 1-10, how nice am I? About 9. If you're having a bad day, your personality shoots out of your butt and you get into this mood.
[16] Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it. Doggy. Because I know who will not leave my side, even after I die. I know who will always be willing to be there and help, and who will wait for me. And will play with me and make me smile.

[18] How long have you known me? A bit over half a year now.
[19] Describe me in one word. Will.
[20] What was your first impression? "...This faggot."
[21] Do you still think that way about me now? You're still a little gay. But...every other emotion I first had has flipped entirely.
[22] What do you think my weakness is? Demanding situations. Short notices.
[23] Do you think I'll get married? I know you will.
[24] What about me makes you happy? Starting and ending my day with you.
[25] What about me makes you sad? Nothing, really. I'm just sorry it took me so long.
[26] What reminds you of me? Everything. My art shows stories we've weaved together. My heart beats for you, the air I breathe is shared with you. The wind that blows around me is gentle, but can be very strong, like you. The sun keeps me warm and alive, like you. The flowers and chocolate you sent me are sweet and beautiful, like you. My world.
[27] What's something you would change about me? I wish you could see how astounding you looked in my eyes.
[28] How well do you know me?Pretty damn well.
[29] Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't? I'm afraid of thunderstorms. I think your family is stupid. I don't know how to ballroom dance.
[30] Do you think I would kill someone? Yes. I don't think you would like it, but if the situation called for it, you would.
[31] Are we close? Closer.
[32] Are you going to put this on your journal and see what I say about you?WELL, YOU SEE....

Changes.

A lot has been changing. A lot of change is still to come. I'm not sure how to feel about all of it.
Excited and worried has been the normal for me for the past weeks - I know that I leave in less than a week, and poor Leigh has been crying, wetting her pretty face over my impending absence. But I know it's also only eight weeks of my career, and I know I cannot fail: I can only learn, and move forward for Leigh's sake, so that I have something to offer her beyond my eight-dollars an hour.

$139 every other week just isn't enough to support her. Or anyone, for that matter.

Perhaps it's enough to buy groceries. But not enough for a home. For a vehicle. For a life.

I've just got to rise to the occasion to be stable.

As frightening as it is, and as stressful as I know it will be, I've been trying to prepare.
I know how to fold my shirts. I know my ranks up to MCPON, and a few of the other important ones, like Commander and Captain. I could do better to study them more, but I don't really have an accurate place to.
The Internet gives me a lot of conflicting and extraneous information. I just need a list of my Enlisted Ranks.
I can probably figure out how to fold Pants in bootcamp. I know Socks and Skivvies are a whole 'nother ballpark, and that you've got to stencil your identifier onto it, and bobby pin them.

You know what? After typing that, it seems kind of overwhelming.

I'm just going to take it a step at a time and do what's assigned as it's assigned.

No need to make myself sick.

I've been exchanging a lot of music with Leigh. A whole lot.
I've not felt so comfortable passing music to someone since probably 9chen's hayday.
I used to be something of a presence there with a daily-updated music thread where I showcased my pile of Techno and such. It feels really good to have someone like your music. The most recent gem was DJ Clonepa's "UH OH, WITCH FIGHT," which holds a special place as the first song I'd listened to so often that I'd gotten tired of hearing it. She absolutely loved it, and even better, followed it up with a Touhou Rhythm Festival track that is just to die for. I've been whistling it all morning like an utter nerd, and listening to her copy of "Too Long / Steam Machine" by Daft Punk, which is pretty bitchin'. I encourage you to pick it up if you've never heard it. It's aptly named as it builds pace gradually, becoming more awesome by the second.

I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever. I'm sure I've lost a few curious eyes.

There's just been a lot of tumult in my life.

A lot going on.

A lot changing, as I'd said.

And as much as I'd hate to admit it, I've just had to put this sort of thing on the backburner to be with Leigh and get my shit done at the same time.

That's a priority though.

I'm prioritizing.

I'm prioritizing everywhere.

Maybe I'll add more to this.

Right now, there's something I have to do. 

Have some art.
