I'm sitting in a hotel room in Seattle watching Interview with the Vampire, eating chocolate covered strawberries and looking up places to visit in Portland.
I AM IN AMERICA!
The flight from Kuwait was over 30 hours including the quick stops in Germany, New Jersey and Texas before finally reaching Washington. It was an uncomfortable voyage sitting in coach for that long. On one side of me, I had an older gentlemen who reeked of moth balls and chewing tobacco. On the other, was a young woman chewing gum with a high pitch giggle.
As soon as we touched ground my allergies kicked in and made this a bittersweet homecoming. I woke up in the morning with red, itchy eyes that my mother thought was conjuctivitis. I couldn't figure out where I'd picked up pink eye but I went to the doctor to get treated right away. The doctor, an elderly man with red eyes of his own, prescribed a slew of expensive allergy pills and we chatted about his visit to Los Angeles to see the Dalai Lama lecture near UCLA so many years ago. Old people are fun.
I've got two weeks to outprocess the military to make it home in time for summerschool. Can I make it? I'm not really sure. Usually people get an entire year to start outprocessing and a few months to really concentrate on it. However, all the people in my unit are helping me out and I already have my orders cut (HALLELUJAH) so I figure it won't be too terrible. I'll try to keep you posted on my progress.
Ok, I'm going to go put on a cup of coffee and start reading all the exciting updates I've missed for so long. Isn't that the best part of being away? There's so much to catch up on.
Audio: Share a song that makes you think of your crush.

I have a crush on Daniele Silvestri. I doubt we really have that much in common, however. :(
My mom linked me to some old photographs of my grandmother (Honey) and great grandmother (Gamma Great) that were in a FTP set up by my uncle. He also, for some reason, included a photo of me in a tree.
He named it "crissytinauphigh" which made me smile. :)
I found this adorable website with sweet stories about homosexual couples. Seriously, check it out, it's very heartwarming. :)
For some reason this song really gets to me. So bittersweet.
I finished my art class and I am almost done with accounting and world literature! Very pleased with m'self.
There is enough hate in the world. Enough misery. Enough greed, fear, and jealousy.
But there is never enough love.
So, to all of those from whom I have received or to whom I have given love: Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am better for that love. I hope you are, too.
In my life, I make a concerted effort not to feel. I try not to let my emotions control me. I know why I do this and that it's the sensible thing to do. But because of that strong force called love, I have made glorious mistakes that I am oh so proud of taking part in.
Thank you!
Since the day is dedicated to St. Valentine, it should be noted that his love was not romantic. It was an eternal love.
For all types of love and all types of lovers, may your love last forever.
