A long overdue update.

So today I ran 5 laps on a standard track without stopping a first for me and something I did not think I could do yet. I was highly encouraged by a fellow student who paced me and kept me talking(aka gasping) instead of focusing on the run.

I'm possibly going to pass the pushup section of our test physical. I'm unlikely to pass the running or situp section. I am CERTAIN I am going to pass the final one at the end of the semester before I go to basic. I'm extremely glad now that I have this semester to get in shape before I have to ship out. I was -not- ready.

The ROTC workout is significantly harder than what I had been trying to do. I'm usually wiped at the end barely able to breathe. But improving a lot.

ROTC itself has been a pleasant surprise. The level of interaction with other cadets is much higher than I expected I guess. I certainly wasn't expecting everyone to be as friendly as they have been.

We get the interwebs on friday. Yay. Then our posting should be much more regular and if school, cadet, orclette, wife stuff are handled I may start playing again yay.

Read Neuromancer for the first time a couple days ago. I had never known how similair this book was to the flavor I enjoy in Shadowrun. Extremely good. Warning: Explores a lot of sexual and drug related themes. Oh and violence but I'm a proper american... violence is perfectly okay in anyform but procreation is scary bad :P.

Well, I think that is everything. Hi interwebs... hope you haven't forgotten me :P

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...
