Family. That's who I'm talking about today. The people you hate the most but continue to love even though they bug the shit out of you and don't know what respect is.
I arrived in Texas yesterday at noon. I hate it already. There are two family members in this city that I really do not mind be around at all. Those two are my brother and my Mankie (grandmother.) My brother is understanding and he wants to get out of here too. My Mankie isn't mean and vindictive like the other two major components of my family.
My mother and my Grampy (grandfather) are the two I cannot stand. The ones that make me cringe at the thought of being home. The two that could turn any vacation of mine into a pseudo-hell. Every statement I make is, apparently, open to criticism and mockery.
Here's a conversation that just happened:
Mother: "So you're joining the Air Force?"
Me: "Yes, as long as I can gain ten pounds and this ear hole closes."
Mother: "It's from having those fucking gauges in..."
Me: "Yeah, well that doesn't matter..."
Mother: -Starts walking away because she assumed I put them back in after December, when she forced me to take them out.-
Michael: -Enters room-
Me: "No mom. I haven't had them in since December..." -Pauses- "Yeah, now she's not going to listen to me."
Michael: "Just don't bother with her or the rest of them. I'm actually trying to get my own place again."
Me: "That's good. Yeah, fuck them."
Mother: -Returns- "Are y'all hungry?"
Me: "No."
Mother: "You're not going to gain any weight if you don't eat."
Me: -Rolls eyes-
It's so stupid. Every decision I make is wrong to them, and it's not that I care so much as I want them to stop thinking I need their approval on anything. It's my life, I'm going to live it how I want to. I don't care that I'm only "almost" 18, I'm more adult than you think. I'm on vacation not on house cleaning duty. Respect me.

Haha no joke...and eating to gain wait wont work when you will lose it when you go it...you need to build muscle haha...well have fun on your trip...my summer started out good with getting lost, having heat exhaustion while lost and on the virge of heat stroke while lost in the middle of a swamp haha...almost died(would of sucked to die 3 days after grad lol) of it but the day was fun...ttyl
They just want me at 110 because I will probably lose it all at basic, you know? But I'm working out, I guess you could say lol. And how'd all that happen?
Well we were out at airsoft and it was 98 degrees and in full tactical gear(probably didnt help with the heat) and i got seperated from my squad when i went to flank the enemy....when the mission was over i asked for directions back to base...i guess they sent me the wrong way and i got lost, my radio died....and was lost for 30 mins...i had a half full camelback but that didnt help with my body crashing from over heating...i hit a trail eventually and found my way back.
