well, it's definitely been a while since i have posted anything. Things are sort of weird right now.
mat has left to go to camp pendelton in san diego, ca. we have had a few rough spots lately. it came to the point in which i almost broke up with him even though i didn't want to. i think i was just over analyzing the relationship, which i tend to do alot. things are good now though. we will get to see each other again over christmas break. we have decided not to go home and see family but just to take a vacation with just the two of us. i will get to see family after february 15th when i leave texas. we are not 100% sure but, hey who knows.
So i am in texas and it sucks. I hate it hate it here. I ahve a dirty discusting girl for a roommate. I worry alot about whatother people think of me and she just doesnt care so whe n she trashes the room it makes me look bad. she is from ny, so she has that really bitchy "i am hot shit" attitude. sometimes i contemplate hurtng her in her sleep becuase i hate her so much, but i have to put on a happy front. you learn to deal with it in the military though.
so i am getting promoted in december. I can't wait. I will hit my 2 years of being in the army. I can't believe it has been that long. I never regret it once though. When I think about it, the army has kept me out of alot of trouble. The people I used to hang out with weren't exactly the best group. I do miss being able to laya round and do absolutely nothing, but being in the army has been a great experience so far.
I am determined to eb a drill sergeant. I can't wait to go to drill sergeant school. I have to wait until i get promoted to sergeant ,which will me around june next year. It is really going to be awesome.
so today is mat's 21st birthday. He called me last night drunk with his gas mask on. don't ask me why becuase i still don't know why, but he did. I could barely hear him, but it was funny. we have been talking alot more about our wedding plans recently. we are planned to be getting married after he gets back from iraq, which will be right after my 21st birthday. i am really scared for when he goes to iraq. not that i don't think he can handle it, but i don't think i can. as much as i enjoy having my space when he is gone, i won't be able to talk to him at all, and it is really going to suck. ts only 7 months. i should be alright.
i still havren't found out where i am going to be stationed yet. everyone else in my platoon has their next assignment, but not me. i am hoping for ft. gordon in georgia, but no word yet. I mihgt go to korea, which is not the best place to go right now, but i guess i have no choice but to go where they tell me.

well, things are just frickin peachy... life sucks.
I retook my language test and didn't pass it again. It really pisses me off. No one can figure out how I failed it...I know what I did. It was the same test as the first one and I figured I didn't pass the test the first time so my answers couldn't be right so i switched all of my old answers that I remembered and so this time I got even lower than before. The first time I was only 1 point away from passing and this time I was 3 points away. This really sucks...I know the language better than almost everyone n my class but yet I can't seem to be able to pass this stupid test. I am trying to be able to retake it, but not sure it is going to work out. Hopefully it does because it is my career on the line. I can still stay in the Military Intelligence field and just do my job without a language but having that language is so much cooler. Oh well, I hope everything works out for me.
Mat left on Monday. He is down in Texas now. Hopefully I will be going there soon, hopefully is the keyword here. My first sergeant told me I should be leaving here around the beginning of August, but that is not 100% yet. Hopefully it will be after the 4th becuase I want to go to my older sister's college graduation. My daddy is going to be there..yay!
So me and Mat were talking baout getting married again. First we were going to get married before he left California, but now we are talking baout before he leaves Texas. I can't wait to see him again. It has only been 4 days and I am going crazy and don't know what to do with myself.
Well, until next time...

well its been a while. so much shit has been going on. I am still in Ca, until at least the end of june. I didn't pass my DLPT (military language test) so I am in a class with 9 other people and we are basically reviewing everything.
i miss being home. I want to see family. I can't even really talk to my sisters anymore becuase my mom is being such a cunt! G-d I hate when she does this shit. My dad doesn't talk to me nearly as much as he used to. I miss it. I think I might go visit them for memorial day weekend. I think it would be a great time off. I don't know, it's just a thought.
So me and Mat have been together for a long time now, almost 8 months. It's crazy.He tells me how mcuh he loves me and everything, bit I feel as if I may not exactly LOVE him. Maybe it is becuase we hang out 24/7 and I constantly feel like I need my space. I don't know...I still love my Marine.
Well ,I have a court date on the 10th. I got a false speeding ticket. I got tagged at 85 in a 70 zone but I had my cruise control set to 72 so I have to go to court and fight this. I hope this ticket gets dropped or at least isn't too much becuase I just got one in December.
I have been working on restoring my credit after what my mom did and I almsot have everything cleared. There are like 4 more things. My credit score is raising. It started out at 526 a year a go and now it is 596. Thats frickin great for me. I got approved for a new credit card. I was so excited. My first card had a limit of $250 and now my new one is $1000. It's great. Things can only get better from here.
Well, I go on to Texas after here. I am not so excited anymore. I mean I want to hurrt up and get there and get done with everything, but I don't want to be in the heat. I can't wait to get back to the East coast. I miss the great east coast. Hopefully I can still get statoned in Ga, not quite sure if i will still be able to becuase I am going to miss my report date due to my nto passing my first test. I might be able to get stationed ther anyways, i'm sure i can work something out.
I recetnly quit smoking. I am only 2 days into it but I am sure I can do it. As funny as it sounds, I think I have more of an oral fixation as opposed to an addiciton to ciggarettes. It's weird. I tried dipping recently. It's really gross , but it is helping me quit smoking a hell of alot easier. At least I don't smell like smoke anymore.
I am keeping kosher now. It's not as hard as it seems. I thought it would save me money by not eating out so much but I spend just as much at the grocery buying kosher food as i would at a restaurant. It's nice though, I have been lokking into my religion more and more recently. There's alot about being Jewish that I didn't even know.
Well ,I guess that is it for now . . . until next time . . .

well i finally bought a car last sunday. I was so excited. I got a 2002 mitsubishi galant. its really nice and it only has 45,000 miles on it. I paid a little mroe than i wanted to because A. my credit and B. its california and everything is so frickin expensive...grrr...
all in all its a great car. i love it although i really need to stop smoking in it.
well so my plans are to drive home this christmas but i dont know if i want to just go spend time with my dad or if i want to go see my mom too. i'm not really sure. I have from the 22nd after class until the 8th at 6:00 pm for break. that is like 17 or 18 days of leave so i figure:
2.5 days to ohio
5 days with my dad
.5 day from ohio to florida
5 days with my sisters
2.5 days driving to cali
----
15.5 days so i still have some time to spare.
its gonna be alot of miles on my car tho. it is 2700 from ca-fl, 1000 fl-oh, and 2500 oh- ca!! total that is 6200 miles for exodus(christams break)!!!!!
good idea or no?

Well, it's been a while since I have actually written anything important in my LJ, so I feel like now is the time.
I have recently, or for the past 3 months, been on the search for a car. I have looked up and beyond everything and I can't seem to find a car that I like. I really wanted to buy a car by Christmas time so that I could drive home over Christmas break, but it doesn't look like that it going to happen. It's really frustrating. I have identity theft on my credit and every time that I apply for credit to get approved for the car I never seem to be able to get approved. It really sux. I didn't do this shit on my credit and all I have tried to do is get it cleared up but it doesn't seem to work.
Meanwhile I am fighting with multiple creditors trying to get this stuff all cleared off. It's really frustrating. Apparently it doesnt matter fi this shit has been on your credit from when you were like 13 14 even though you are not allowed to ahve credit until you reach the age of 18. So, if you have any advice on how to get this cleared up sooner please let me know.
Ok so I have a grandfather, oh my g-d yes i have a grandfather. He lives in philly and i talk to him at least once a month. Well, would it be wrong of me to ask him if he could co-sign on a car for me or for maybe a loan to get a car? I dont want to sound needy or like a bad grand daughter or anything it's just that I really want a car and my only hope is looking at a co-signer. Is a bad idea becuase I am scared to ask him.
Well , for better news i think i might have either torn my meniscus or sprained my knee. I was riding in a big ford truck earlier and I hopped down to get out and landed on my knee wrong and its only been getting worse. My friends told me to go to the TMC tomorrow becuase they ahve torn their meniscus before and the more that you wait on a injury like that the worse it gets so...tomorrow to the doctor i go.

If you read this, even if we do not speak often, comment with one memory of me. It can be anything you want, good or bad. Just as long as it happened. Then post this on your livejournal to see what other people remember about you.

so, i haven't posted in a while. at least nothing important. things have been going pretty good lately. i lost about 12 lbs. i have been alot happier than usual. i have gotten used to this whole "army game"... sorry i got to say it like that becuase everyone gets so upset when i do that. anyways, things have gotten alot easier for me. it's great. what makes things even better is the fact that fallon is talking to me now rather than ignoring me now. i love it. i love being able to be close with my family. that means the most to me.
It was grandparents day on sunday so i sent my grand father and great grandmother flowers. they loved them. i love hearing that. mommom collins called me tuesday and told me how thankful she was for them. i was so excited.
last saturday i went to a party on post. it was a big party for all armed forces. it was great. there were a bunch of bands there! i fell in love with a new band named ambivalence. they are great look them up! ok well you see they had a mechanical bull at this party so i figured i would try it out. i was excited. so i get on the bull and fall off like 10 seonds later and kinda hurt my groin but no big deal. then i got on again but this time i like wrapped my legs around the bull and was determined to stay on. well i got jerked all around and then finally fell off. i had my legs wrapped around it so tight that i couldn't fall off so i was being slapped all around. so i finally got off and couldn't walk. i now know what it feels like to be a guy and get kicked in the nuts. so i eneded up tearing my groin, yes riding a mechanical bull. went to the doctors monday and she laughed at me and asked if this was about the time she should give me the "safe sex" talk. i was so pissed. i was in so much pain and she found it soooooooo funny. so yea now my right thigh is swollen and kinda purplish. it was fun i have to admit. i had to tell my squad leader i wasnt going to be at pt on monday and why and she decided to tell everyone in my squad exactly why i wasnt there instead of just saying i was hurt. so yea i have heard it form everyone all week...
so sudnay i went to the 49ers game against st. louis for military appreciation day. it was great to know that some people like the military. they cheared louder for us when we came on the field to unfold the flag than when the 49ers came out. it was great. i ahd alot of fun at the game too. i got really sunburned...ehh oh well!
so this week has gone by pretty fast. it hasnt been that bad. we had a test today. it was extremely hard. i dont think i did too well. i might be getting rolled back into a new class that starts in january which means i will be here for another year .thats not cool but less time i will be over in iraq i guess.
so i am in the process of looking for a car. i am still debating as to whether i should get a use dor new one. i igure a used one would be better for me right now but i dont know. i am going to look for one this weekend to but from cali becuase in jax they told me they could not give me a loan becuase i was stationed over here for so long. i think thats a bunch of shit but oh well.
isnt it kinda funny how friends can ditch you so quickly for a guy. its been happening so often lately. it is getting frustrating. i am about to jsut ditch all my friends and jsut get new ones.
so i want to get a tattoo. i am excited. i am thinking for christmas. it is going to be a shooting star with 5 stars trailing it. the 5 stars represent my 5 siblings and they are going to be their fave colors and the big one is going to be orange! i am trying to draw it up but i thing i might try and get a friend who can actually draw it try to do it for me. klae think you could??
well until something new happens... khoda hafez!!! (good bye)
