Where To Begin...

041312: I decided to hang out with my neighbor since he was needing to find an apartment to move into. He was thinking of moving out to Los Angeles because the apartments are bigger and better but a little more expensive and he was looking into Koreatown. (MMMM, Korean BBQ) But it was raining so much! It was crazy and the weather was like, 40~45 degrees! And we didn't have an umbrella so we were talking through K-Town in the rain and when we saw the apartments, it was either that the lobby man was a jerk and we couldn't see the apartments or at least have a floor plan or the apartments were just ugly. So we made a trip out there for nothing, really... And we were stuck in traffic for hours. It took us like four hours to get home. It was soooo bad it took us an hour and a half to just drive six miles. HORRIBLE. And it was the "phantom traffic" which is the kind of traffic that's the worst for no reason; no accidents, no blood, no horror... Just traffic because people drive slow. But, since it was raining, I told my neighbor that it was "pizza weather" so we arrived home, cleaned up his place a bit, changed Salome's kitty litter, took Ivy out, bought some pizza and wings and watched "Training Day". Good day, even though my butt was sore.

041412: Today was a eventful day. The morning was a little rough, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed but it was good when I went to the Museum of Science with my churchmate Joe. (he's the Samoan guy that baptized me) and we also stopped by Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles which is really good~ It's good old fashion soul food for your soul. Homemade waffles, some good fried chicken, collard greens, homemade chili on fries and more chicken bits, and some good cold coke. I'm sorry but that's some good sh*t. It's so good, you better come in with your pants unbutton because they are no joke! But the museum of science was amazing, I learned a lot about the universe and the earth and even ourselves. (even though I already knew, it's good to refresh) and the next time we go, we're going to go to the Museum of Natural History. I CAN'T WAIT! And now, I'm home, uploaded all the stuff on Facebook and I'm food as heck right now with a bunch of left-overs. I'm excited to go to church... I miss everyone. I feel like I haven't seen them in forever! But I came home with tension and it's weird. My best friend is crying, her boyfriend is stoned and she's in the bathroom, crying and I really need to go number two. I might have to ask my neighbor if I can use his bathroom. LOL. I hope not.

Sigh, now I have to get changed and situated before bed. I got church tomorrow! :)

First DEP Meeting.

My first DEP meeting was on Saturday and it was scheduled at 9am.

Me: Are you free to drive me at 9am to a DEP meeting?
German: I can't. My license expired~ I have to renew it on Monday. Unless I drive like an illegal Mexican immigrant.
Me: Hmmmm... Would you like to be an illegal Mexican immigrant for a day?

So sadly, my neighbor couldn't drive me because his license expired.

So I called my recruiter and told her if I could reschedule (obviously not) and that my ride bailed (kinda) and so she called one of the DEP-pers to come pick me up. His name is Scott. Who drives a red Jeep. And inside smells like gym socks and sweat and dog. However, since I grew up around guys, that doesn't phase me. Although it did have some umph to it. (Gross)

I found out that Scott has been on DEP for two months now and I'm barely two days in but we arrive at the recruiters office and guess what I found out?

Everyone inside the office (and I mean the people that showed up for the DEP call) ARE ALL GUYS. Not a single girl (other than myself) is in there. I AM THE ONLY GIRL. Sadly, there aren't any cute guys. Except one black guy but he's short. But I guess that will be my eye-candy for the moment.

And surprise, surprise~ We had a test! Obviously I didn't get the packet because I'm two days in and Ssgt. Fears didn't send me the packet via email but I had to take the test anyways. And I failed miserably. 14 questions wrong out of 20. YEAH, FAILS.

But surprisingly, I wasn't the one that did the worst! HAHA. Some were two points more than I was and more. And we're told for every question that you get wrong equals to five push-ups! Since I got 14 wrong, I had to do 70. (No biggie, I can do it.) so everyone had to line up in front of the office, and do push ups. Sigh. Lol.

THE BEST PART is the last three who did the absolute worst had to go to the Marines Corps office, stand in a line and sing to "I'm A Barbie Girl" with some dance moves of their own. LMAO! I love it. I was hoping that the majority of the votes would go to "Big Girls Don't Cry" but I guess Barbies seem more appealing and we had to really embarrass them for the Marines.

NOW I NEED TO STUDY and amp up the work outs. Since I'm working with mostly guys, I don't want to look like a pansy. -_- but I am excited for March 3's hiking trip! :)

Trying to un-pansy myself,
