Damn the Batteries!

So my ship pulled into the shipyards last week for scheduled maintenance and repairs. Yesterday, Monday, we pulled into the dry dock. Which is just a platform that is hauled out into the middle of the river, sunk, the ship is put inside of it on blocks and is lifted again so that the ship is out of the water. Then the whole thing is pulled back next to land. Anyway, I had duty yesterday and it just so happened that I had my sister's videocam with me. I wanted to film the whole evolution, or at least the parts where things were happening. (This is a long evolution. It started at 0600 in the morning and we got finished at 1800[that's 6am -6pm for you non-military types] in the evening. And that was doing it extremely fast.) Anyway, I couldn't film it because I had to man-up the missile launcher because most of it is below the waterline. (That's where the water comes up to outside the skin of the ship.) They wanted to make sure that the hull wasn't ruptured. So I thought to myself, no biggie, I can't still do something with the cam. Cause that's all I really wanted to do in the first place is play with it a little, because that's super-duper fun. So I figure I'll make like a "Blair Witch" style film or something. DON'T SAY IT SAM! I was gonna call it, "D-Day: Duty on The Ross". So I grab the cam and turn it on, now mind you that it was charging all Saturday and half of Sunday, and would you know it the battery icon was flashing. Damn the batteries and damn the luck. Oh well, I've got duty again Thursday and nothing better to do. Take two anybody?

I took the quiz too!

So Here are my results. Not bad if do say so.


The KnightYou scored 50% Cardinal, 23% Monk, 38% Lady, and 72% Knight!
You are the hero. Brave and bold. You are strong and utterly selfless. You are also a pawn to your superiors and will be lucky if you live very long. If you survive the Holy wars you are thrust into you will be praised for your valor and opportunities both romantic and financial will become available to you.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 74% on Cardinal
You scored higher than 8% on Monk
You scored higher than 38% on Lady
You scored higher than 94% on Knight


OKCupid! The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test

So take da quiz already!

I was the biggest Jerk in the world. With a capital "J"

So its been while but we have returned with another heart pulling show.
In our last episode, the hero said a few things the were hurtful, and caused a huge arguement between him and a special, wonderful some one. Let's skip ahead and see how things are going.

DOODALU doodalu doodalu.

So I was a complete and utter asshole. After much arguement and Quite a few extremely hurtful words on my part, it took my sister, Angee, (Some one that's not very crazy about Sam, but knows that I am.) to make me realize how much of a selfish jerk I was. And how much Randomchicka really means to me. If I had just taken two minutes to listen, I would have known better. I am truely sorry for what I have done.I was completely wrong. I now know (And knowing is have the battle, that's for SnoringDaddy. GOOO JOE!!) the error or my ways, and Randomchicka and I have made up.

Tune in next time when the topic will be completely differant and this soapbox will be a thing of the past.

I really hate being me.

AAAAHHHHH!

I swear Samantha hates talking to me. Call me naive(that's friggin' great! I just had to type 'Evian' to figure out how to spell that.) but I love her to death. I'm not to crazy about her right now. I guess I wouldn't love her as much if she didn't piss me off or hurt me like this. You see, I went to bed after my first post this morning around 7:30. I woke up at around 1:30 this afternoon. I'm pretty sure that she went to bed before I did. I just try to call her I say "Hey Baby, what's going on?" and in a drowsy angered voice I hear, "I'm sleeping, let me talk to you later!" We're suppose to be getting married. Sometimes I almost ALMOST, doubt her intentions. Is my kindness being taken advantage of? Do I have to become the T-total ass hole that I use to be before Sam and I got back together? I need a drink! I'm out. But I'll be back. You'd better believe it, baby!

Book Test results.

So the results are in. I just took Party Pasha's book quiz and ironically enough I am apparently The Guns of August. I find that totally funny being as my birthday is in August and I am a Gunner's Mate in the Navy so that means I play with guns.

You're The Guns of August!
by Barbara Tuchman

Though you're interested in war, what you really want to know is what causes war. You're out to expose imperialism, militarism, and nationalism for what they really are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past and have a hard time dealing with what's going on today. You're also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in the world. A fitting motto for you might be "Guns do kill, but so can diplomats."

I don't really think that the desription is all that fitting or accurate. I still think its funny though.

Woe is me

So its 7 o'clock in the am. I took a brief nap last night during Mars Attacks. Samantha called me. I talked to her for all of about ten....
maaaaybe 15 minutes. Long enough for her to tell me about the crush she has on one of her professors. Yeah, she told me all about him, how great he is, how funny he is, how adorable he is. I stayed up the rest of the night watching Major League and Major League II. I thought that she might call me back, but I was wrong. I don't know when the next time I be able to talk to her is. I miss her. I hardly ever get to talk to her anymore. She goes to school all day and works all night. Gets off between midnight and one, and I'm an hour ahead of her, so obviously I'm sleeping by the time she gets home. Anyway, I'm going to bed.
