Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I'm listening to some songs on YouTube right now, so I can't get to sleep. But I can't just stop listening to these Imogen Heap songs, so I might as well type a little bit and see what happens.

I suppose if I wanted to go to sleep, I'd mix some hot cocoa together. I still have some left.. But eh.

I've been wondering whether to start being even more open with this journal I'm writing. I could probably get rid of a lot more thoughts that are clogging my head that way, but I'm not sure whether to trust keeping this journal public.

I don't know what I'm worried about. It's not like anyone I know is on here, and if they are I doubt their chances of running across this journal.

Problem is I don't trust this place because I know that 4chan has infected this place somewhat. smile Which isn't really bad except for the fact that /b/ is included in that sentence. biggrin

I hate those kids. The only reason why they come on here to troll is because they're trying to vent their own social abuse onto a medium where they don't get picked on themselves.

Maybe that's just being paranoid.

Screw that, I'm a bat out of marshmallows already. Might as well add paranoia to the list.

This journal will eventually turn private. Or at least friends only. It's not like I have many active Gaia friends anyway. smile At least not on this account.

I wonder what tomorrow is going to be like.



I'm pretty sure it's going to be interesting in some ways. Not because it's Valentines Day tomorrow.

Does music ruin the true feeling of things? I think sometimes it affects how we think, and when we turn it off and go back to our real lives, something in us notices the striking differences.

I swear I'm not high/drunk/etc. right now. The farthest you could go in describing me is tired.

A good reason for me to go to sleep. Another good reason is that I have to wake up at 6 tomorrow morning.


That's a good 6 hours from now. But that's alright, because Major Magee told me that we only need about 6-8 hours of sleep every 24 hours anyway.

I wish there were more people like him that say interesting instead of meaningless things, or things that get on my nerves.

Speaking of nerves, I wish some people in the military, especially the enlisted forces, would realize just how things really are.

These are pretty big words from a person who has to write at least 1000 words into an online journal every night in order to regain a sense of sanity after the day's events. But they're words nonetheless.

So yeah. Most of the time, at least on state-side bases, things aren't as organized and efficient as they are made out to be.

And sometimes, they aren't organized and efficient at all.

It doesn't help that both the heads of officer and enlisted ranks aim to do what no other military has done before. Especially since they expect the lower ranks to adapt to whatever they are getting thrown at.

Ugh, in a world of stats and numbers.. We're not some kind of experts, we're volunteers. And we're volunteers not because we know what to do, we're volunteers because no one else is either wanting or wanted to do the job.

I'm tired. Probably best for me just to go to sleep now.
