Seriously. What the hell happened? This is so strange. Love. Laughter. Wisdom. Knowledge. Music. Friendship. Money. I've learned so much about myself in a little over a year. More than I'd learned in 5 years before that. I feel like... I know so clearly what I want. I think I've felt like this before. Do I really know what I want? Does anyone ever? Is that what life is, always pursuing that something, that ever changing and growing ideal? I think there is always more to be had, more to be learned, more to be done. So in that sense, one can never be truly content. At least, I don't know that I could. I want to go to the moon. It's entirely possible I might in my lifetime. How incredible it would be to leave this planet. To leave the place where every bit of our history has happened. I'd go to the moon. I'd go to Mars if I could.

Current Location: House
Current Mood: calm
Current Music: Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
Crazy, over a year since I posted anything here. Why the hell not? I just got back from deployment like 2 weeks ago. I get out of the navy in less than a month, and then Anna and I will head back to Marquette. I don't wanna treat it like we're starting anything over again, but it kinda feels that way... I guess this will be more of a continuation of my crazy life. I'm looking forward to everything though. It should be fun if nothing else.

Well summer is officially here. The weather is hot and hazy, the forest is all lush and tropical, and we kicked it off by going to the beach and getting burned, then going to a BBQ and drinking around the fire all night. Not bad. There are a couple cookouts to hit up today as well. I only wish I wasn't going to be underway for the better part of the summer... like always. Hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I did.

So, I finally got around to fixing my computer. All it really took was re-installing windows, and I didn't even lose any files. Thankfully. Now I have to reconfigure everything to make it like it used to be... anyway, one less thing to worry about now. Next is the car...

Current Location: The blue chair
Current Mood: awake
Woohoo! 10 days until my birthday! I can't believe I'm going to be 22. Wow. Well, summer feels like it's just around the corner. We've been using that grill quite a bit. It's great. Had a bunch of people over last night for meat. And then bowling, and then my car was misbehaving. It's so nice to have the weekend off. I can't wait until it gets green and warm around here. I love summer. I love being outside at night during summer time, especially downtown, with the lights and cars. I love gas stations on summer nights for some reason. The flourescent lights, the smell, the bugs... I dont know, maybe it just brings back good memories or something. But I love summer.

It's a miserable day, as far as the weather goes. But everything else is cool. I'm glad I'm alone right now, I needed some time to myself. I like being able to be alone and get my thoughts together, play guitar, whatever. I should take a shower. I probably will.

Current Mood: cheerful
Current Music: Butch Walker - Joan
Humphrey Bogart
You scored 30% Tough, 14% Roguish, 33% Friendly, and 23% Charming!
You're the original man of honor, rough and tough but willing to stick your neck out when you need to, despite what you might say to the contrary. You're a complex character full of spit and vinegar, but with a soft heart and a tender streak that you try to hide. There's usually a complicated dame in the picture, someone who sees the real you behind all the tough talk and can dish it out as well as you can. You're not easy to get next to, but when you find the right partner, you're caring and loyal to a fault. A big fault. But you take it on the chin and move on, nursing your pain inside and maintaining your armor...until the next dame walks in. Or possibly the same dame, and of all the gin joints in all the world, it had to be yours. Co-stars include Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall, hot chicks with problems.

Find out what kind of classic dame you'd make by taking the Classic Dames Test.





My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

Current Mood: Internal Bleeding
Current Music: none
Joan moved away to Colorado
Said she found God and a boyfriend as well
One that wont hit her or make her feel shallow
There's a lot to learn about Joan

Before I moved in Joan had a fling with the landlord
So she got to stay here for free
And I'm not a genius but I figured out
There's a lot to learn from Joan

And after all this time, you were waiting on the ride
To stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life...
Go get it right

I went to the closet to get dressed for work
When I spotted a box I had not seen before
With all kinds of letters that never got sent to a guy in Colorado since 1994
And I know it's wrong
But I sat and opened in no certain order
A letter or two she talked about blisters and bruises of anger
And she bought a handgun to learn how to shoot
And the last letter said that she had to get out
But I couldn't make out the rest of the note
From the blood stains all over the page of the letters
There's a lot to learn
And there's a lot I learned about Joan

And after all this time, you were waiting on the ride
To stop at the place where you slowly misplaced your life
Oh and after all this time, you were waiting on the ride
To stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life...
Go get it right
Go get it right
Go get it right
Go get it right

Current Mood: hyper
Current Music: Something from anna's computer
Hot Tamale
You have an intellectual sexiness factor of 66!
You're hot! You've read a lot. You've done a lot, and there's a lot you'd like to try in the future. You've got a sharp, sexy mind, and few inhibitions to restrain you from exploring all the pleasure you can get. You have few hang-ups, and there's not much you don't know about sex. You're open-minded and able to enjoy things that would make a lesser person squeamish. You're an exceptional treat as a lover, appreciated greatly by those who know the differnce. You were probably bored with a few of the people you've been with in your past, feeling like you had to drag them along with you in the sexual adventures you want to have, and probably dumping them for the same reason. It takes a lot to stimulate you; you realize it's not just about bumping uglies. In the end there's gotta be a lot more to it. Still, there is always room for improvement. Before you can graduate into a true sexual genius, there are a few things you've got to learn, to explore, to think through, talk through, and fuck through. A good place to start is in taking a look at the few things you're still a little hesitant to try. Break down you're last few barriers and discover the outer sexual frontiers, and you'll become a master.

Current Mood: exhausted
Current Music: Incubus - Pardon me
The Liberated Lover
63% partner focus, 57% aggressiveness, 65% adventurousness
Based on the results of this test, it is highly likely that:

You prefer your romance and love to wild and daring rather than typical or boring, you would rather pursue than be pursued and, when it comes to physical love, your satisfaction comes more from providing a wonderful time to your partner than simply seeking your own.

This places you in the Lover Style of: The Liberated Lover.

The Liberated Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and forms the kind of free-thinking, sexually-exciting, self-confident lover that society once condemned but that a liberal-mind cherishes and exults. The Liberated Lover is a treasure to find, though it can sometimes be difficult to do so because they are often already engaged in relationships or are in high-demand if "in the market."

In terms of physical love, the Liberated Lover is possibly the most thrilling and demanding of all, with the one potential drawback being that it is possible to feel 'overmatched' at times by their prowess and selfless giving. Given trust and understanding, and the right lover, the Liberated Lover can be a delight in bed.

Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Exotic Lover (most of all) or the Carnal Lover, or the Suave Lover.

Congratulations!

If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in the following:

Jan. 22nd, 2006 @ 09:48 am And to continue my LJ update/Atreyu kick...
Current Mood: coffee's brewing
Current Music: none
In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade

And all these words I could have would have should have said
Ring out like gunshots across long lost days
If that wasn't love then what the fuck was I thinking?
I would bear my soul just to bask in your grace
And your beauty, your strength inspires all of my days
I would carry any load just to bear your cross for a day

In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade

Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break

I'm built for pain I swore to let no one in and there you where a vision a beauty

It takes my breath away you took my breath away
And it takes my breath away how you took my
Breath away

How could I know that you would take my breath away? And
How could I know one kiss would change everything?

Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break
Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break

Jan. 22nd, 2006 @ 09:41 am watch how your answers change...
Current Mood: still groggy, need coffee
Current Music: none
So after taking the Humor test, I deceided to take the OKcupid dating/relationship personality test again, just to see if it would turn out different. I guess my answers have changed from last time, and no, i did not answer differently on purpose. Weird.

The Vapor Trail
Random Brutal Love Master (RBLMm)

Here today, gone today. You are The Vapor Trail. Are you in a relationship now?

Your exact opposite:
The Backrubber

Deliberate Gentle Sex Dreamer
What about now?

Vapor Trails can be highly charismatic people--unpredictable, confident, and magnetic. You're experienced. You know how to handle yourself in a relationship, and many people appreciate that. Many people, all in a row.

You've had your share of blissful beginnings, to be sure. But things almost never turn out how you'd like, do they? The problem is you're never happy with someone for an extended period of time. Relate to the following:


Vapor Trails especially need a girl who will laugh at their jokes. They're also the most likely male type to be haunted by serious regret.


FACT: A few of your exes, the ones you were best to, will always love you. Nice going.

ALWAYS AVOID: The Intern, The Maid of Honor

CONSIDER: The Sudden Departure

the Cutting Edge

(52% dark, 57% spontaneous, 21% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARK


Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top.

Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.

I wish you would step back
From that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
The angry boy a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away
I wish you would step back
From that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
Well he's on the table and he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they're doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I, I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
You could put the past away
I wish you would step back from
That ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
I would understand, I would understand
I would understand, I would understand
Can you put the past away

Current Mood: aggravated
Current Music: none
I hate my job. There, i got that one out of the way. One problem I have is that I get angry, and I'm nasty to everyone, Even good friends who are trying to help me with whatever I am angry about. Then I end up snapping at them and they get mad at me and then I feel bad. This happens a lot. I guess I should work on that. I'll just yell at the people I dont like. Anyway, things are quite uncertain at this point, concerning many things. Just gotta let it ride and hope for the best I guess...

My Favorite day again. I want to talk to all of my friends. I miss you guys. It was good to see you all at home this past holiday season. I miss Marquette, but moreso because of the people I know from there, how we learned and grew together. How we laughed and cried and lied and lived... But I'm happy now. I'm happy. I have to thank my mom for sending our waffle iron back here with me. I am eating belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream right now! MMM. SO GOOOOOD.

Jan. 5th, 2006 @ 09:45 pm Too much... Must purge....
Current Mood: uncomfortable
Current Music: none
The past is a demon. The past is a demon. I fight it day by day by day. Not just mine, mind YOU. I fight it day by day by day. Some days it's a battle easily won. Other days I fall with a sword in my side, twisting, burning, bleeding... It makes my stomach churn, with rage and sadness and regret and jealousy... This demon if not kept at bay, will certainly destroy what I value most. The PRESENT. I fight it day by day by day. Hoping it will soon fade, and from time to sweet time, it does so, but manages to break free once again, and attempts to tear its way out of my heart. Life is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're going to get. And sometimes, you get that one you hate, a sour, jagged piece, that you wish you'd never ventured to taste, but your curiosity got the best of you, and now you want to spit it out... but you cant. You can chew it and chew it and chew it, and let the bitterness sink in and make you sick, or you can swallow hard and move on to the sweeter things. Move on to the sweeter things... and hope they dont run out. Hope they are real. I fight, day by blistering day.
