Yes, I know that I've been slacking, but it's just crazy for me right now. It's almost like being home for R&R, being pulled here and there, asking to be here and there, popularity sucks! LOL I'm just joking.

I'm still in love with my car, "EC"! I have already put a mark on him. :( It's all my fault, but I'm dealing with it. I'm just glad that it was me and no one else.

The 4th of July was a blast! It didn't just rained, it freaking poured! It didn't stop us though. Jason didn't have anything going on for the 4th, so he came down to Chickasha to celebrate it with all of us crazy people. He enjoyed himself and made himself at home. Everyone, so far, had only good things to say about him. We had a freaking awesome fireworks show. We got together and bought close to a $1k worth of fireworks. We visited and drank and laughed so freaking much. All the adults were just like kids, it was great!

I'm starting to hit the pavement and begin looking for a job. I've looked at my resume and updated it, but not completely. This part is just so much fun! I'm also thinking about buying a house. My cousins, the Veals, said that they'd sell me their house. I'm going to look into it. I'm 90% sure that I can land a j-o-b in Chickasha, but I don't want to do the commute thing. So, if I do buy the Veal house, I'm thinking that I may just rent it out. At least till I'm able to find a j-o-b in Oklahoma City. I'm through with overseas contracting, or want to be, so I hope that something works out.

I'm tired and I don't feel like doing anything. There aren't enough hours in the day!

My friend Michael is thinking about a military branch, so Monday we are going to go hit up some recruiting stations and see what they have to tell him. I'm just going for support and if they tell him something he doesn't understand, I'll be there to explain, and to catch any lies they may tell. :)

So, this is my update, I'll try to keep them coming regularly! PEACE

Shout Out To PAUL

I want to give a shout out to Paul, my FIRST follower and longtime Aussie friend! Paul and I met a many years ago when I first starting going out in OKC. We've been friends since and have shared a many of beers! I didn't get to see him while I was home for my Birthday, but we'll soon get together again!

I tend to have a lot of free time on my hands, so I do a lot of thinking. Here lately I've been thinking about the topic of this entry, Friends. There are different ways to tell who truly is a friend, but this is about what type of friend are you really? So, you and I are which type of friends?

I recognize and appreciate various kinds of friends. I classify them according to how well I know them and how well they know me. First, there are the "Pest Friends", general acquaintances. Next, there are "Guest Friends", social partners. Lastly, we have "Best Friends", our true friends.

Pest Friends, is simply an acquaintance. This means that you basically only know their name. You might not even remember what they look like if you haven't seen them in a long time. Usually, you meet these types of friends at work, the store, or the gym, or anywhere else you might be. You normally would not mind having a cup of coffee with them, but if anything else came up, you usually would have no problem parting company with them. You normally don't miss them when they are elsewhere. It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation. Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly, you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something aggravating, such as tapping their fingers on a table or chewing gum loudly. This is why they are called "Pest Friends".

Guest Friends, are typically the people you call if you're wanting a guys night or girls night out. You meet them at the location and at the end of the night, you go your separate way and they go theirs. These sorts of friends you don't talk to too often and you typically do not confide in them, they're what I would call, distance acquaintances.

Best Friends. These sort of friends are there when you need them. They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin. Best Friends, are the ones that you can lean and depend on, no matter what. If you should need a listening ear, they will be the ones to lend their support. This friend you're able to discuss relationship issues and expect feed back and constructive criticism. There is no judgment. Their love is unconditional. They are typically trustworthy and loyal.

So, what do you think? Where are we? I would have to say that a majority of my friends fall under the category of Guest Friends.

On a different note, yesterday was my sister-in-laws birthday, so Happy Birthday Kelly! I tried to call her, but I think they cut off our stateside DSN access. There's really no telling with the douche bags here.

We are no longer on water restriction either. How long is it going to last this time? I have a huge headache that just came on out of nowhere!
