I have been alive for 1/5th of a century..can I believe that. I spent the first twelve hours of my birthday... the next four lounging about and enjoying some delicous cake my cousin was kind enough to spoil me with. I think My life has been a disappointment. Honestly every dream I have had every plan I have had has never worked out. I tell myself everyday I am not going to let the circumstances of my life determine my outcome and today I can't help but think...I dont care anymore. I am twenty years old and I dont care if I live any longer. For me there is nothing to be excited about because everytime i do get excited about something it lets me down...even down the the smallest things such as dates with a guy...to the biggest thing like my parents helping me with college. Maybe I just have bad karma... I did something awful in another life.... Or maybe I am just not as special as i think Maybe i am. What ever the case is i think I give up today. I am going to go to bed.¤Kirsten¤http://www.blogger.com/profile/07667759434521059508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40371794536811945.post-88183131420309596492009-08-20T16:27:00.000-07:002009-08-20T16:41:28.892-07:00Well I'm Not Changing The NameI am not in the Army anymore... Thanks to my crazy self. I sometimes wonder what the heck was I thinking. I think of rejoining almost everyday. I do not want to go into MI again. I secretly want to be an army diver... but its a field not big on women...and I am not sure if I want to willingly subject myself to that. Just a thought.<br /><br />To catch up: After my discharge I went to my hometown and just <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">vegetated</span>... I did nothing and I'm not going to lie...It was wonderful. Near the end of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">April</span> I decided I better start doing something with my life... So I thought about getting a job... <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">That's</span> about all I did through the middle of may. At the end of may I decided to move in with my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">gma</span> in southern <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Utah</span>... maybe get a job, a place of my own, even think about going to school. So I went. My <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">gma</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">didn't</span> agree with my dog... so three weeks later I left... and moved in with my then boyfriend pat in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">SLC</span>. BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD idea. We always argued... didn't get along, our <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">life's</span> dreams are totally different and I found out he is rarely honest with me about where he is and whom he is with. Well I let this bother me to the point I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">couldn't</span> take it anymore... and at that time an army friend invited me to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Florida</span> to start a new.<br /><br />I would have a place to stay until the end of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">September</span>. Plenty of time to get a job and place to live. So I drove cross country... stopped in Austin <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">TX</span> to see my aunt and long lost cousin. Loved it there. Even got a few job offers. But I decided to stick with my original plan and carry on to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Florida</span>... Well since I have been here my car has broken down, my phone turned off, and I have applied for over then job with no calls back. And my friends plans have changed and they are leaving this weekend. I kinda screwed myself in coming here. You see my family and I...we are practically estranged... There was a big family fight... I wont go into the gruesome details. The end result being we no longer talk... and my mother doesn't consider me one of her children. So here I am in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Florida</span>.. broke...with a bum car... and soon to lose my home... I am going back to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Texas</span>... I luckily have just enough gas money to get there. It will be a twenty hour drive. Ill post <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">again</span> to let <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">y'all</span> know (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> pretty sure <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">y'all</span> is maybe two people) how the next stage in my adventure away from home goes.¤Kirsten¤http://www.blogger.com/profile/07667759434521059508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40371794536811945.post-55803692420994058072009-01-06T17:01:00.000-08:002009-01-06T17:17:01.226-08:00FinallyThis is me and my battle buddy.

I don't really have internet access here... aka i don't have a laptop and i can't access blogspot on military computers. Anywho I have started classes. 8 hour powerpoint presentations everyday. Lots of fun. Not really. I am doing well. Christmas rocked my socks off. I am meeting good people here to be my friends. I can't tell you much about my classes...but right now we are learning the basics of the military that they don't teach you in basic. Symbology, conventional opereating evironment, legal, nato, things like that. Love you all!!!</div></div></div>¤Kirsten¤http://www.blogger.com/profile/07667759434521059508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40371794536811945.post-31853550654247546172008-11-15T13:33:00.000-08:002008-11-15T13:34:55.790-08:00Graduations is OverWell I finally did it.

My blogs are going to be pretty boring for a while. Until i can get my own computer to put pictures up. Its just more for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">y'all</span> to check in on me I guess.<br /><br /> I joined the army in may. Left for basic <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">training</span> on June 24. I am in the national <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">guard</span> for 8 yrs<br /><br />Right now I am in south <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Carolina</span>. I was in basic training until I injured myself. I had two weeks left. Anyways I am in a healing unit until i pass the fitness test. (Soon I hope) Then I finish my training and I'm off to advanced individual training in Arizona. I am going to be an interrogator. I hope its not going to be too hardcore. I also get to go to the defense language college in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Monterrey</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">California</span> to learns <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Spanish</span>.<br /><br /> When I am done I get to go back to Utah. I will probably go to Iraq.....I don't want to but It is something I have thought a lot about and I signed my name on that line. I miss everyone and hope you are all doing well.¤Kirsten¤http://www.blogger.com/profile/07667759434521059508noreply@blogger.com3
