OH my sooooo I am not going to give you all the whole shabang that I was busy and didnt have the time obviously its been way too long for that.... I only ask dont look at the last entry's date...ok? Thanks (I know you looked) Honestly I forgot and kept putting it off. But no longer!!! I am back and decided that I am a new person I need a new name. I began as NavyGirl but I have decided thanks to certain events that the Navy doesnt define me, I define me with my randomness and nerdiness(I know not a word but hey its my blog so its my word!) So sit back and just read what I gotta say (honestly you will probably get bored my mind tends to skip everywhere but its need written down if not for your entertainment but mine).
Looking back over the last 5 years I am surprised by how far I have come and grown (dont we all) I was a senior dreaming of adventures, dating, exploring the world, experiencing new things. Since then I have been to so many countries England, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Japan, Guam, South Korea, and the Philippines and I am only 21!! I am nearly done with my military career and am looking forward to having a new beginning I want to study in the UK, whether it be in England, Scotland, or even Ireland idk I just have this gut feeling that that is where I need to be and you know what I am going to do it. Why should I not? I am single (never had a boyfriend honestly dont want one, the only way I would probably get one is so he can fix my car, I know I am supposed to be an engineer and I cant even fix my own car!), I dont have any kids and really no big obligations. The hardest thing with going overseas for an extended amount of time like I want to do would be being away from the family. But I havent lived at home for years and I need to find where I belong. The Navy wasnt the right fit for me, feel like I am in a cage with no lock for a key just trapped. But thats another entry for another day, back to the subject (told you I get distracted) I want to study Art. What kind of art you say? Well thats the thing I dont have a clue. I love art I love every single thing about art!! I love the art they use in video games (cant play those worth shit), I love movies sets the details they put in to it, I love animation, illustration, the history of art, I love making stuff like pottery and drawings. I like it all!! I consider language an art as well, the written word!! So fascinating how with a few words you can bring tears to a readers eyes, or make them laugh out loud, or bring great rage the way words play with emotions is amazing to me and I would love to be part of that world too. One of my good friends upon talking about this dilemma of what to do she simply said do it all! Why do you have to have one career? And you know what she is right!! I will do it all!!! Which I need a school that offers it all I have found a few that I am definitley interested in one in particular is Falsmouth University, excellent art program and english program so we shall see if thats where I will go. I have also been thinking of Canada closer to home.. and just as fascinating. Honestly how much do people really know about canada? Not much really they are a really quiet neighbor of ours dont you think?
So totally different subject I am reading a fantastic series right now called the Outlander By: Diana Gabaldon, has anyone else read it yet? I have seen it around before in the library and working at Hastings book department but it looked so thick and kind of boring so I never bothered to figure out what it was. Well I downloaded it on my lovely kindle and am now enraptured. Fantastically written, its a gem, if you havent read it I would suggest reading it, they are making a TV show out of it actually. Another good series is the series by Lynn Kurland her time traveler series that cover two family clans the MacLeods and the De Piagets I own all of the books... ALL OF THEM... the dialog is well done, they make you laugh out loud and gasp oh they are amazing!!! I also have read the Iron Fey series my best friend at home made me download them and I am thankful I did but I still cursed her. I having an early watch was like oh I will read just a chapter to see what its about... 4 hours later.. in the middle of book 2 I come out of the fog of fantasy land to realize I have 3 hours before watch that series is soooo good it just captures you and it could be suffocating you but you dont care you dont realize it all you know is you must continue kind of like that frenzied kiss (dont play coy I know you know what I am talking about) that kiss where he (or she) is your air and your lungs need air but you dont want to stop cant stop, until finally you come up gasping before diving again into the madness. Yep that book did that.. Read it!!! And know!!!
I havent watched any movies lately other than the new Captain America: Winter Soldier which was incredible!!! Well done it was spot on!! It had me choking back tears at least 3 times and those were close (I was with the guys so obviously I couldnt just burst out in sobbing tears you know gotta keep it cool) I think I left scars on my palms from my nails trying to stifle it. Its much more serious film its not Iron Man but it is perfectly Capt. America. If you havent seen it all I gotta say is WHAT ARE YOU DOING READING THIS!!! GO WATCH IT!!! lol jk but seriously though its way good!!! Well I know this post doesnt make up for all the time I havent written but its a start and I can promise more later. Night Y'all
