New Lucky Charm

So, the week before was same old same old, classes, homework, went to town with J.H. and bought shoes. This week started out a bust: school, testss, homework, and nobody wanted to do anything with me on Friday night and the Internet in our room was still broken. I was sitting in the dark by myself and feeling depressed to I went to the post store and window shopped for a couple hours before deciding to buy a ring from the ring lady who has a Jewelery stand there every couple days. Then I went back to my room and moped before crappy Internet and hunger forced me to go to the hobson (the hangout on post that serves pizza and beer and ha wireless Internet). I sat by myself and watched a movie on the netflix on my iPad. Then I got hungry so I wondered into the cafe area where all the people I knew were on their fifth drink and loopy as all get out, the girls ha mustaches and the guys had unibrows. It was weird.

I ate some pizza and was just starting to think about leaving when this guy from across the room joined our group and we started talking an drawing horrible maps of America and Asia on a greassy paper plate. Then we decided to go for a walk and talk and wound up walking down the hill off post to the beach. By then it was past midnight and I suggested we start a bonfire. We didn't have any matches or firewood but I said if we just walk down the beach we can find some wood and steal someo else's fire. We found. Ton of firewood first thing from someone's old bonfire and a little ways further down someone ha dugg a firepit in the sand and it still ha coals in it. He wa Leary about being able to start a fire but I said all you do with coals is throw on some kindling and blow on them and you get instant fire. So that's what it did. I started that bonfire in three seconds flat. It was really impressive. Not so impressive was grabbing that leftover firewood in the dark without realizing it was covered in soot. My shirt got filthy. I tried to wash my hands in the ocean but this wave came and my shoes got full of water.

I also found some girl's phone that she'd come back looking for as soon as she asks if I'd seen it. So then Z and I spent three hours talking in front of the fire and he asked me to go to a movie with him the next day (which is today). On the way back to post some random car pulle over and asked I we needed a ride. Turns out it was the DD (drunk driving car that volunteers every weekend to pick military people up from bars so they don't have to drive) and they had some extra room so we didn't have to hike all the way up the hill. That ring I bought is my new lucky charm.
