It's obvious that I miss you so much

We went down South last night — all the way south, into Tacoma, where there was a going away party going on for Newly Navy Boy, who leaves on Tuesday for Florida — America's Wang (tm).

So, happily for me, I got to see a lot of my peeps and hang out. I actually hadn't felt very good after work yesterday, but I dragged myself out anyway, and I am so glad I did.

This is how life is.

Di and Sara sending NNB off in style:


PBG and Scott (not a Mike/Michael? what?) investigate the NNB's Navy Training Guidebook:


The training guidebook was effing awesome. The cover said "Courage!" on it and there was a picture of a serviceman crying. Not stoic with a lone tear running down his cheek, mind you, but blubbering with puffed up face. It also had little fill in the blanks inside like so:

Art. 124. Sodomy
(a) Any person who engages in UNNATURAL carnal copulation (taking a sexual organ into the mouth or anus) with another person of the same of opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy.
(b) Penetration, however so SLIGHT, is sufficient to complete the offense.
Art. 124. Arson
(a) Any person who intentionally and maliciously burns the property of another is guilty of arson.
(b) Aggravated arson endangers HUMAN life.

And so on.

I kind of wish I'd gotten to spend more time checking out this training manual/guidebook thing.

Also, there was the dancing, which I am not going to show you, and the bootylicious discussions, and the spanking (which I am definitely not going to show you), and so forth.

. . .

Because Sara has to drive both of their cars to Florida, I volunteered to go with on a road trip. It seems like it would be fun. We'll see!
