Lots of Pulp

Good OJ, Ya'll....I mean...Y'all. So, here's the dealyo. I am completely in love with this girl. Yep, it happened again. She didn't make it very hard on me. I guess I didn't make it hard on her, we're in love with each other. And it's wonderful. We didn't really do a whole lot while she was here. We played pool a few times with a bunch of my friends, we went out to eat at several restraunts (there's a new place called Mori's. Japanese food. I had sushi for the first time in my life and it was fantastic), we went out to the beach at night, we drank margaritas, beers, and wine but never got drunk, we read together, watched movies (lotsa movies), and all the other general kind of hanging out things. We went to the Panama Java (Eddie knows it) and drank coffee, ate scones, and read books for a few hours in the afternoons. So she likes most of the things I like, she has fun doing nothing, we like the same music and movies (yes...even all that crazy crap I listen to, she knows a lot of it!), and we both come from very loving families that support us all the way. I have spoken to her mother, father, and brother, and they were all very very cool about her staying here with me alone. In fact, her dad asked Hillary, "So, what have you two been up to...that you can tell me about?" To me, that means he knows and doesn't hate me. I'm happy, guys. I'm really happy. There is no pretense to our relationship at all. We've both admitted potentially embarrassing things, things that might end other (lesser?) relationships, and we're still happy. We're both jazzed.

I am going back up to AlAskA in June. I will see her again then. I will also see Bubbles!

And speaking of seeing Bubbles, I'm going to get out of the Air Force. I'm sure of it now. Unless the bonus goes up to a million dollars. So. I won't have a ton of money either, but I'll definitely have enough to get out to Nevada and travel around, camp, do all that stuff. For sure, I'm in. And if Eddie and Bubbles can't make it for their own reasons, I'd like to go anyway.

Boys, I'm very optimistic about my future now. I'll be dept free when I get out, I'll have a bit of money saved up, I think I've got a girl that will be around for a long time, and I'll be a free man in less than 8 months. I'm also making great strides in my 2nd book. This one, as I think I've said before, will be over 800 pages...and right now, it's all in my head. Slow roasting.

Peace and Love,
Mungo
