rynneFirst of all, I got a call from the Army today. O.O My sister handed me the phone and told me that the Army wanted to talk to me, and I was thinking "Sure, right" because sometimes she's just weird like that and jokes around. So I say hello, and dude, it really was from someone in the Army! This guy, Sergeant Something, said he was calling all incoming seniors at Reno High to talk to them about plans for summer and college and stuff, and, just as an aside, asked me if I was interested in possibly joining the Army. It was a bit freaky, to say the least. He was like, the official Reno High Army Recruitment Dude. I wanted to say something like, "No, Scary Army Recruitment Dude, I do not want to join the army and go off to fight and maybe possibly get blown to bits, or blow other people to bits, in Iraq when I'm eighteen (assuming we're still there when I'm eighteen). I want to go to college and read books and have blithery philosophical discussions about nothing. My plans for the future don't include waving guns at people, thanks."
There is not, of course, anything wrong with people who do choose the join the Army or some other branch of the military. I am full of the highest respect for them. I could just never do what they do, and I don't particularly want to. Waving guns at people is usually just Not My Thing. (Swords, yes. I can do swords. But guns are a no-no.)
Also, I took a look at my profile today, and there are apparently a lot of people reading me who I know absolutely nothing about.
So, hi!
You are apparently reading me, so you must find me somewhat interesting (heaven knows why). So come introduce yourselves! Maybe say how you found me and why you decided to friend me of all people. (People I do know are allowed to do this as well, assuming that you didn't find me just because I friended you first *snerk*) Come on, I don't bite! Hard. :D

Date: 2004-06-16 06:36 am (UTC)Oh wait, probably not the information you wanted.
I found you via a mention of your Shakespeare Challenge and I signed myself up. Then I read a few of your other entries, looked over our interests, and decided to friend you based on that.
I promise, no stalking on my part...and I don't make LJ paperdolls of people--well, unless they ask me to.
