Two years in the Marine Corps today. Where does the time go?

I was originally gonna do this post in mock RPG style since I've been playing Summoner waaaaaaaay too much lately, but decided against it because it would take too long, and someone would want to punch me in the kidneys if they read through the entire thing. So I'll just talking about the events of my 21st birthday.

The daytime was uneventful. I took the two Marines out for the day, did a little shopping, and took them back to their rooms. I was going to end my day when I saw a friend of mine. The dude had been drinking since noon. Well off we went to go bar hopping. Eventually we wound up in Providence at Hell. It was a good night, and Sam, I definitely downed a few for ya. =D

We ran into some Navy guys who thought I was lying about being a Marine until I showed them my I.D. But we ended up hanging out together and having a great time. That is until my friend got kicked out for pissing on a wall in the alley. I gave him the remote for the locks in my car, and told him to go sleep it off. He was pretty bad the whole night. Imagine. I had to be the responsible guy on my birthday. So I stayed in the club, hung out with my new acquaintences, and met a little gay guy who wanted me to show him my penis.

I eventually headed home at 0500 the next day, and told my friend the next time we went out, he shouldn't hit the bottle so hard. I need to get some non-alcoholic friends.... Sheesh.

I'm officially 21. Look out, liver, cuz yer goin' down!

Thanksgiving was okay. I didn't spend it with my family, which is always a plus since I always feel terribly uneasy around all of them. I drove out to another part of Rhode Island with two Marines that I'm in charge of on weekends and holidays, and had Thanksgiving with a Sergeant that I work for. It was good times. Getting home was an adventure since it was a downpour the whole way. That, and I got lost because I had the bright idea of trying to find the local mall before we went home. After being lost for roughly an hour and a half, I found the right way home, and went to bed early again.

I woke up at 0530 because of a crazy dream I had about a bee landing on my eye. What kind of dream is that?! Who dreams about bees?! At least it was less intense than the dream I had the night before. In that dreams defense, it was about Ash from Evil Dead and Army of Darkness accidentally resurrecting a zombie overlord-type dealy in the basement of my old house.

Zombies are always cool. Cooler than ninjas, I would dare say. Hey! Someone should a movie about zombie ninjas! Or ninjas that fight zombies. Oh man....that would rock so hard.

But I digress from my rant about awesome undead ninjas and the like to continue my rant about my crappy morning. So I go to get a shower and no hot water. I still can't sleep, and I still have no idea what I should do with my day since anyone worth spending this day with is in another state or country.

Happy November 24th to me!

Memes out of boredom...Today is also my one year mark in the Corps. ERR...
