So, when we went to New Jersey and did what we went there to do. I guess you could say Simmons' family problems are more or less over. His mom is really nice, but his dad... Well, it was all I could do not to STRANGLE that man. What a friggin' jerk. And the people in Simmons' hometown? God. There were only like four people in the whole town who were cool. Now I see why Simmons joined the army--- to get away from all that crap. Jeez.
After that we went back to Hawaii for my Dad's funeral. It was a really nice ceremony. Turns out a college friend of mine went on to become a preacher, so he was the one who spoke at the funeral. Go figure.
And then we had my birthday party today. That was awesome. All my old friends came, and my one friend's jerk boyfriend got to do all the work of setting up while I watched. Simmons got me Fable 2, so now we have something new to play at base besides all those other games I've beaten a hundred times. Also, a bunch of my friends got me a guitar! Here's a picture.
Yup. Pretty freakin' awesome. My friends are great. Anyway, my birthday was going great until Sarge called. Whoo. So, I just got off the airline website and our flight back is booked for tomorrow morning. Fantastic. Great way to ruin a guy's birthday, Sarge. We'll be back in the Gulch sometime tomorrow.
Geez, I knew it was a mistake getting you that game. That's all you've done since we've got back. It's getting irritating.
