Fuck this thing anyway.

Off the hotbar. See you around.

Will I Update Later? YOU DECIDE!

2009-05-20T01:32:45Z

Or maybe you don't.

Website update.

Also, make a twitter and follow mine.

I now use twitter.

2009-05-09T22:36:54Z

Does that make me one of the cool kids? I think not. You should stalk... I mean follow me at https://twitter.com/lunar_symphony. I promise I won't post pictures of my breakfast on facebook. Other than this I've been up to little. I got mega hammered the other night and have no plans to do that any time soon, though the story is more than worth it. Sullivan just came to my room. Ugh. I'm outie.

Buh.

2009-05-04T22:48:40Z

Yup.

Tamaam shod.

Class break down. 28 weeks to go.

Walking only hurts you in the end...

2009-04-07T06:40:32Z

Every so often I get a hit of regret. It goes back like Rumpleminze and Jaeger, sickly sweet, burning the throat, blurring judgment. i just can't figure out how I can be in the best place and the worst place at the same time. I just wish you could throw it away, but that'd only make the holes bigger. I can't wait till I'm old enough to forget. Or maybe I just need a drink.

I was thinking of all the things I could post to LJ, but I'm coming up a little short. I have a test tomorrow for which I studied a bit tonight. I missed PC (Physical Conditioning) today because there was a USAF Post wide accountability formation, which is to say they had us all check in and then leave to help out our host unit out at Goodfellow in Texas, but that won't make sense to many of you. The language goes well but only one of my friends speaks it. What does all of this mean? I'm in a good place, but some things will always suck wherever you are. Also, I'm thinking of you.

A fucked to death pile of burning caca

I need some sleep. Tony got a big TV. I got drunk and funded. I played RE5 and some movies. How was your weekend?

Huah.

2009-03-16T14:34:09Z

Looks like they won't be giving advanced leave for class break, meaning that those of us who just got in can't get off post, and that calling class break early fucks us double, leaving us no time to see our families and friends. That means I won't be seeing anyone in Florida unless some kindhearted sergeant feels like cutting us a break. Likelihood in my command? Approaching zero.

I thought I did this this morning...

2009-03-11T19:08:28Z

But evidently I dreamed that part. Mourn my class, not that anyone on here knew them. We're splitting off into new groups, meaning that the people I've spent the last fifteen weeks getting to know are not going to be sitting with me anymore. Other than that it looks like learning Farsi is going alright at the least. I'm by no means fluent, but I've been here for a mere 15 weeks, so that isn't bad. Carly is coming to visit Bran, Tony, and I this weekend, so that's news. And now the big one. I'm going to be back in FL Apr. 13- Apr. 17. Feel free to throw yourselves at me if you haven't already. Apart from that I've got nothing that makes sense to anyone who isn't in the military and all of that is griping. I'll spare you.

Holy Crap, Private!

2009-01-22T01:27:10Z

Damian is at boot. How about that crap. DOA sucks even more than it did last post. I'd tell you what happened, but its so military jargon that I think I'd just confuse.

WHO ARE WE? DOA! WHO ARE WE? DOA! DOA! DOA! WE'RE GRRRRREAT!

2009-01-09T13:48:09Z

I feel like I got hit by a truck. That might be a good thing. I haven't PTed like that since BMT and, frankly, I love the DOA Sgts for it. I hope to god they keep it up, but more importantly, I hope it doesn't kill me.

Rising things; falling things:

2008-12-30T07:16:06Z

It seems like things are working out in some places and falling apart in others. They're working out pretty well for me though; I can't complain. I'm anxious about getting back from leave. I feel like I won't be ready for the shock of it, though I know it won't really be that bad. No one will be waiting to scream at us off the bus or anything (Here's looking at you Damian!). Seriously, though, it'll be toe to the line soon enough, so I'll fall off the face of the Earth again right after New Year's. Hopefully I'll have something else substantial to say by then.

Merry Christmas

2008-12-25T13:02:58Z

I don't think I've updated this thing since just after Basic. Life at the DLI is pretty awesome, and I'm making new friends and reuniting with old ones. Hanging out with Tony has been amazing; if I have one complaint its that everything seems to be happening so fast. I'm on leave now visiting family in NC and enjoying the chance to unwind. You'd think that we get that opportunity at the Presidio, but realistically, I haven't showered without shower shoes since before basic, and it really is the little things like that that make leave so refreshing. A lot of people are troubled during this holiday season, but I'm just riding the waves like I've done for ages. Nonetheless, I'll close by wishing everyone a stress free holiday season. Try not to let life get to you. Forget all of the bad stuff that's going on, even if that's harder than wallowing in it. There's nothing so bad that you can't take a break from it for a week or two. Consider it leave from all of your varied affairs. Like I said, no shower shoes. It is, after all, the little things that get you down; why not take a second to let the little things pick you back up? Anyway, its 0800 and I still haven't slept, so I should get to it.

Merry Christmas,
~Tim

I'm out.

2008-10-24T23:39:32Z

That is all.

On a scale from one to ten where ten's exactly what I am...

2008-09-07T21:28:54Z

I ship out for basic training tomorrow. Final oath, final signing, everything finalized and fixed. I won't be talking to anyone for a while, so here's the deal with writing me. My parents have been given my LJ name and pass and will post my address so that you can write me if you want. I don't know how much writing I'll get the chance to do, but if you send me a letter I'll try to respond. Letters are to be in a regular envelope and should contain nothing that isn't written on regular paper. As for those of you that I didn't get the chance to see before I left, I'd really have liked to, it just didn't work out that way.

So as to not make the whole entry administrative stuff, my last couple of nights could not possibly have been better. No regrets and all that. Thanks again, Erica, for everything. Basic is intimidating, but I'll be fine, so keep the worrying to a minimum. I'll see you all on the other side.

P.S. The next people to log in on my account will be my parents. Keep the comments on this post clean.

P.P.S. Not everyone checks my LJ, so if anyone should get my address here and know someone else who might need it, fill them in, yeah?

Chillin at Carlos' Dorm.

2008-09-03T20:22:28Z

Wicked. I went to FIU with Erica today. We got a bit lost, on the way, but that's normal for me, so no worries there. Grabbed Pad Thai at the Thai/Sushi place,which was wicked, and then tried Boba infested purple shit at Loli Cups. That's it. That's my post.

Okay, so.

2008-08-28T11:49:36Z

I ship out soon. Hairy. A bit nervous about that. I had other things to post, but starting with that cuts my momentum off at the knees. That's it. I'll post more later. Or tomorrow. Certainly before I leave.

Ugh.

2008-08-13T06:13:18Z

Conor Oberst makes me feel so broken.

Update

2008-08-09T16:43:08Z

As you can (potentially) see, I've updated the look of my LJ. Which is to say that Erica, Tony Joy's girlfriend for those of you unaware, updated my LJ layout. Thank you thank you thank you. I think it looks great.

I forgot to mention I now ship the 9th. 3 whole days later.

I'm

2008-08-05T07:09:21Z

writing a lot of new things. I felt the need to start the post this way so that I could keep to it. Seriously. I also want to say that I'm running daily so that I stick to it. This post is really more for me than for you, so, sorry about that. Other than that, I have to get to sleep so that I can run and clean and chill tomorrow. I have to call Sgt. Vail tomorrow to see whether or not he'll let me off the hook Wednesday so that I can hit Coheed. I'd really like that. I wanted to see a concert before I ship. One month tomorrow.

Update:

2008-07-31T11:07:09Z

MGO isn't bad. I should have given it more of a chance. It's grown on me. I played a bunch of MGO and MGS1 last night to show Jon the plot. There was more to my yesterday, but I can't even remember why I'm updating. I'm getting up in 4 hours. Fuck.

OH BOY, MGO!

2008-07-30T13:07:39Z

It took me almost 12 hours of patching to get onto MGO last night. I finally did, and the whole experience left me totally disappointed. It was basically MGO from Subsistence trying to incorporate the class building system that made CoD4 awesome and totally missing the point. Nonetheless, I find myself patching it again so that I can try again today. I blame the SVD. I don't know that I'm going to run today. I haven't slept yet. I blame nerves.

So much news.

2008-07-29T10:39:15Z

I haven't had a real update in forever. I don't even know where to start. I woke up at 4 this morning out of an action packed dream about (as I remember) zombies. I heard some noise downstairs which is what I think woke me up. Turned out my dad was replacing the burned out bulb in our Vega (Wega?) before heading off to NC for a week. I gave him a hand, but after that and seeing him off was too wide awake to sleep.

I decided that I wanted to hit up some MGO (Metal Gear Online for those of you who didn't play 3's update), but it prompted me to sign up for the Playstation Network first. I guess it isn't that bad given that it's free, but it required a system update. I kid you not, it took about 2 hours to complete. Brutal.

While that happened I decided to check out what I had missed at E3 via XPlay's podcast. Turns out there is a lot of content hitting the PS3, PCs, and 360s, though I think that PS3 had it's strongest showing in... ever? Even so, with Fallout 3 and Gears 2 coming out on 360, it was a tossup between the systems. Killzone 2 was probably the single most exciting thing that I saw, though (sorry Fallout.)

That all being covered, I headed back to my updated PS3 after my shower. Only at this point I was all pumped for a run and didn't feel like playing MGO, so I fixed up my profile and plan on hitting it up now. Oh, and, Carly, my profile pic is a seal baby. It was either that or like... icons from a game I don't even own (read any but MGS4.)

Anyway, that's my alarm clock going off now. It somehow makes me really happy that it didn't wake me. I have a lot to get done today. Call me if you want to be a part of that.

TL;DR VERSION: PS3 STILL EATS COCKS. MY MORNING WAS AWESOME. SEAL BABIES.
