So, I just realized I never posted a journal on this.
I realized that with my current work ethic (lol I don't have one =3) and shot GPA, that the traditional course of taking college after high school would not be best for me in any way. So with careful consideration and much discussion with my father I have decided to join the US Air Force. NO that does not mean I want to be a pilot (I've been asked this one to many times). I actually was looking at snagging a computer / networking related job or an electronic intelligence job.
Anyway, I've already gone through some processing and such. I actually just took my ASVAB (pretty much the US military's standardized test) and my physical. I scored a 97 percentile (out of a possible 99) on my ASVAB, which is ridiculous because the minimum required score is a 36 and the preferred score is 50+ xD. My physical also went over well, I just need to go back for some sort of counciling due to the fact that I HAD ADHD when I was younger. They just want to make sure I still don't have it I guess.
So all in all I do believe that I will get cleared for entry, and if that happens and jobs come down right, I should be leaving around November.
I keep thinking of things I want to do while in basic training that would show off pride for certain things yet be funny as hell. Dunno if I'll actually do them or not though. One of the things I wanted to do was to wear a husky hat all day and randomly woof when no one is watching xD, but like I said, I wouldn't want to get yelled at anymore than I already will be. If you have any ideas I want to hear them. Makes me laugh when I come up with these.
In other news, my life is progressing slowly yet smoothly right now. My high school graduation is coming up (June 11th =3) and I only have 5 more days of school to attend (YAY!!!). I didn't go to my senior prom, although I kinda got screwed out of it as well as didn't want to go after a while. I'm still single, but what else is new? Plus with the Air Force coming up I don't think it wise to be in a relationship (unless they can handle long distance or something idk...). Diablo 3 came out on Tuesday, been playing that shit HARDDDD, and it is a great game just like everyone says it is =3.
As far as my story goes, its progress has been halted, but with summer approaching I will start having more time to work on it. I've started two others as well. "Dying of the Known", which is about an apparently Sociopathic child who was trapped on an Island for most his life but ends up being the only one who knows whats going on in a blind semi-Utopian society. The other is the beginning of a series of books taking place in the Warcraft universe, and it is titled "Fall of the Thunderstrike Tribe" (might end up making that the series name though).
So, leave me any comments you have please =3. I want know what you guys think (that and this is my largest and most comprehensive journal EVER, might possibly make these into weekly or bi-weekly updates). I love hearing what people have to say about what is going on with me or my ideas, as it allows me to see how people view me and all (you guys know what I mean?).

Good luck in the Air Force. I'm joining the Army myself, but I haven't told anyone yet except my mom and a few other family members.

OP
My parents just decided to tell EVERYONE they knew. I keep having people push questions down my throat about it -.-". That and quite a decent amount of my RL friends are joining the Army as well.
