Although Im still in San Diego, tying up loose ends, I consider my trip to have started.
Day 1
I awoke early this morning to get a reserve ID from base and waited in line for 2 hours (I was a little too early and the first person in line) after no more than a minute inside I was sent away for lack of ID. My DD-214, and drivers licesnse were not enough. I needed a passport or birth certificate. So I didn’t get that done.
Next I mossied on down to the DMV to see about getting a temp/extension on my registration, which expires on valentines day. Let’s Have a quick break to discuss V-day.
In the third grade I had the biggest crush on a little girl in my class, her name was Dafnee. She had long curley blonde hair, and cute dimples. Valentines day was comming soon, and I was determined to woo her with a tolken of romance. I chose the coolest item at the bookfair in school: a gas station desk set, complete with erasors shapped as cars, and spent a whopping $10 on it ( I don’t acctually remember the price but it was alot for me at the time)
So that special day of love came by, and durring recess I mustered up the currage to approach her, guys don’t normally talk to girls in the third grade, and started making my way across the cemented courtyard of the school.
My friends, the guys, were of course privy to my plans. And as I made my lonely way, wrapped gift in hand, they took it upon themselves to lend moral support in the form of cheers and cajoling. I was their champion, the Brave who had taken it upon himself to best this beast of love, on this it’s most notorious day!
As I approached her, and her little group of friends, my mind played little movies of her unwrapping the gift, and being overwhelmed with my generosity, imediately throughing her arms arround me while pledging her undying devotion to me. A girlfriend! What a prize!
At last I arrived, and her attention was completely on me (at that time everyones attention was on me, thanks to the rackteering of my friends) I stammered a shaky “happy valentines day” which was met with… Nothing. Nothing but the coldest shoulder, as she turned and walked away without saying a word. I the champion had fallen, and the cheers soon turned to jeers as the cruelty of elementry school kids crashed over me like the unforgiving waves against a cliff wall. This glimmer of hope became my first true notion of rejection. Thank god it wasn’t the worst.
so… Anyway, I don’t particularly like V-day. And tv DMV was closed for Lincons B-day, so I didn’t get that done either.
I did get a dog. More on that later.
Also my RV broke down. And now Im stranded in the parkinglot of a walmart.
