Hey Anna . . .

This morning I was on my way out of the house to go buy books for class when the phone rang. It was Darren who's an Army recruiter. He asked me to come on down and have an appointment with him to talk over my options with the army. Riiiight. I told him I was NOT interested in being in the army in any way, shape or form. I nicely mentioned that popularity for joining is down 'cause ummmm . . . lets see here. . . how 'bout 'cause there's a war going on?! And he went on to tell me that the media plays it up and makes it worse than it really is. I bit my tongue to stop from pointing out that dead body counts don't lie. It's not like the reporters count the bodies. So he gave me his number to give to all my friends that might want to join up . . . anybody care to take me up on the offer? And then he wished me luck in college and said goodbye. Two seconds later, the phone rang again. Guess who it was? Darren calling to speak to Valerie. After I told him that Val has no interest in joining the army either, he told me to wish her luck and then he asked who was speaking. So he then realized he'd called the same house when I told him Val is my older twin sister. So then I went to school to buy books, find where my speech class is going to be and check to make sure they recieved my transcript from UW. Actually the books didn't cost too much. I got five books for a little over a hundred bucks.
On a different subject, does anyone else think Josh should get a blog? He says computers hate him, but they hate me too. Maybe someone who actually sees him could talk him into it-hint hint Anna, Bonnie.

Hey, whatever. Those army recruiters, once you sit down with them one on one, are more convincing than you'd think. I'm still tempted occasionally, but doubt I ever will. I don't think I'm made of strong stuff like that. Lol, I'd probably burst into tears about two minutes after arriving. ;)
