I found out yesterday morning that I didn't actually need to be there. (They said they send out a new set of orders certified mail, but I never got them.) But since I was there, they had me help load stuff in to trucks and had me come back again today to do the same. I feel stupid for not being able to give dates and places here on the internet, but it is undertandable about the whole Operational Security thing. In a couple weeks I will be going to my unit, and then after a little over a week there we will be heading to our mobilization station for probably around a month, and then we will be off to Iraq. One-point-five years. Damn, that's a long time. I should be back somewhere around Apr '06. Sometimes I feel like cursing, others crying, but I know its something I have to do and I know that it sucks, but I'll be ok. Its the being away from everyone that will suck the most. I sure hope the internet is readily available.

I smiled all the way home. Or I would have had I not remembered I needed to go to the post office to pick up that data cable I had bought for my sister on ebay.

Allen says: What? Your senior date? I'm confused, but then again I am all alone at Pappy's sitting next to a hallway window as if I am some dog looking for a new home. I'm sad that I'm flying :( 12:49 pm - Fri, Oct 01, 2004

It is seemingly quite official. Off to war I will go. Or at least to an Army Post Office (APO for short). I have three weeks of training I will do in October, and then in Nov, I'm outta here.
But, on to some pleasing news. Ally has completed a comic numero uno for the Allen & Co. comic series, which I have placed in the Allen & Co. Comic section and I have also redesigned it a bit. I don't think it looks great, but it is not at bland as before. I ought to get better graphic creation tool than just MSPaint and MSWord (for the word art, he he).
*EDIT*: The thing I have redesigned and that I don't think looks quite great yet is the page that the comic it on, not the comic itself. Allen thought that was what I meant, and after reading again, that's actually what it sounds like I meant. This is not the case at all. I give the comic two thumbs up!

We got back here around 10:30 - 11:00 this morning and unloaded the crap. I did not sleep but maybe an hour last night, and that was through my mom steam cleaning the carpet. I'm trying to work on my CS Project, but I have very little of an idea of what I'm doing. My partner's getting pissed at me since I haven't finished my part, and I have my first Phylosophy exam tomorrow, for which I am very unprepared. I wish this semester would just end. And it might very well do so but then I would probably be worse off...overseas...sorting/accepting mail. And then there's the thing with Ally's (and Bryan's) parents and all things associated with that, but I, being one of little knowledge on this matter, will say no more.

HOLY CRAP!!! It's freaking raining right now. And pretty hard too. I was sitting here, and then I'm like, "It sure has cooled off..." and then I was like, "Feels kind of humid too...", and I heard this gentle rumble on the roof and I was like "There's no way its raining..." and then I looked out the window and was like "HOLY CRAP!!! It's freaking raining right now." and then I checked weather.com, and it didn't say anything about rain and then I checked wlfi.com and it said very little about the possibility of a light scattered shower and the radar looked like there wasn't any rain in sight, but by golly there is a freaking downpour right now and it has yet to let up for the entire duration of the time I have spent typing this.
But other than that, I'm heading to Cincinatti tonight and then tomorrow me, my mom, and my bro are gonna load up the U-Haul, drive it back, and unload it in my Sister's house where my brother will hence forth be staying. Fun. Fun. Fun. Plus I have a CS project due next this Wed.

At this time yesterday I was putt-putting, but more importantly I was with Ally on our first date (first not only between ourselves, but first with anybody...for the both of us). She wore a black outfit and had some shiney earings and necklace and all in all looked very lovely, not that she doesn't the rest of the time. It all started at 7pm... (cue flashback sequence). First we had a nice dinner at O'Charleys which finished nearly an hour early (what do I know about planning a date?). So then we went to the Putt-Putt place there by Curcuit City and played not one, but two eighteen hole rounds of golf. Après ça, nous avons regardé une filme au cinéma. Translation: After that, we watched a movie at the theater (Resident Evil: Apocalypse). So it was really like a date and a half. But I must say that I had a wonderful time and am looking foreward to numero deux.
"numero duex" means "number two" en français, euh, I mean, in French...for those really, really disinclined to the french language.

Allen says: Awwww. :) 9:24 pm - Wed, Sep 22, 2004
Ally says: Awwww! :D 11:21 am - Thu, Sep 23, 2004
Allen says: Awwww. :p 3:32 pm - Thu, Sep 23, 2004
Joey says: Wow. I coun't 6 awwww's followed by varying degrees of smiley. Allen wins with 3, Ally in second with 2, and Jordan bringing up the rear with only one awwww, and I'm thinking about not counting that one at all since it is in quotes, but wasn't even quoted properly. Also, he spelled Ally's name with an "ie" at the end, and that just really bothers me for some reason.
Heh, yeah, coun't is now a contraction. 12:03 am - Fri, Sep 24, 2004
Allen says: Awwww. :8 9:39 am - Fri, Sep 24, 2004
Joey says: Dang you Allen! Now I have to do the scoring all over again. No, wait, that last message was the definitive end of the contest. No more points will be awarded starting from the beginning of that message. 5:58 pm - Fri, Sep 24, 2004
Allen says: Awwww. :) 11:44 am - Mon, Sep 27, 2004
Well, yes, at basic I did leave my WEAPON laying around for a short period of time. There's nothing like doing some good Rifle PT(physical training) while everyone else stands and watches.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLY!!!
