AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!

...Well, that takes care of my frustration with PSD, I suppose...well, okay, so actually it doesn't.

The Personnel Support Department was supposed to get me my enlistment bonus and college kicker by today so that I could pay off my college loans and the final payment for my new car...yes, I finally have wheels, in the form of a 96 Chevy Camaro. However, if I can't pay for it, the dealership's threatening to take it back. ><

...Still, not EVERYTHING's gone to crap. I can finally get online from my ROOM now, I got my PS2 replaced (after it burnt out on me..)...and, of course, milady and I have been seeing a lot more of each other.

It got rather...interesting a few weeks after I last reported, namely during her school's Homecoming week. I figured it might be nice for me to at least escort her to the dance on Saturday, even though I knew there was no way in hell I was gonna get in since I couldn't pay for a ticket.

But y'know, sometimes life works out weird like it did that night...I mean, hell, how was *I* supposed to know one of her friends got stood up and as such happened to have a spare ticket that he was willing to let me use? Oo

So yeah, there I was, expecting to just see her off and get a glance at a rather lovely dress of hers, and instead I'm spending the whole night with her...even getting the nerve to try and dance with her once or twice.

Key word: TRYING. I admit it. I CANNOT dance without arrows. ^^;;;

Anyway.......yeah, I'm pretty well set now. Just need to get the money for my car...or rather, my dad, since he's offered to cover me so long as I pay him back.

*stretches* Well, I need to get going, Yu-Gi-Oh's on in a few minutes.

That's it.

After catching up on the news, hoping not to find anything worth writing a rant about, I came across a story from yesterday that hit me a bit harder than most...

Keiko, the orca (killer whale) made famous by the movie "Free Willy", died at 27 years old in a fjord off the Norwegian coast from a case of pneumonia.

Now, I know this isn't as tragic as I make it sound...it isn't devistating like my grandpa's passing was. Still, I have a rather higher than normal fondness for dolphins and their like, especially orcas, so despite the fact I didn't care much for the movies Keiko was in, the whale itself was a particular favorite of mine. I'm fairly certain I won't be the only one to miss the playful little guy..

Sayonara, Keiko.
