Thumper of Doom...

The look on her face is classic! Thumper, the name which comes from my sister's late boy friend, has been a neverending source of humor for our family. Our much older dog, Tsunami, or Tsu for short, still has reservations despite the two years of coping with the puppy.

Thumper can range from being disgustingly cute, and knowing it, to a scared bundle of nerves running about the house looking for the oldest female (she's scared of men for some reason) to calm her down and follow her outside so she is protected while she investigates the yard. The most humorous thing is the 'conversations' we have with her. Usually about dinner time she gently takes your hand in her mouth and wags her tail while eyeing you. If you ignore her she then proceeds to put her paws on your knee and shove her face in yours while making strange 'talking' noises. If one continues to ignore her she will lightly chew on either your knee or elbow. Usually at this point we will start to pay attention to her. She dances about pulling on your pant legs until you understand what she wants. It is quite a humorous display. And disgustingly cute, as usual.

I ran...

Or so the song goes. Right now I want to run. Have you ever felt cornered and just like you needed to get away, go anywhere but here? Someone must have felt like that before, there's been a ton of songs written on that topic.

Today I'm like a rat in a cage (hmm... there's a song about that one too). Let me explain so that the whole picture can be seen here.

I am an Army Brat. For 17 years I lived and breathed that lifestyle, knowing nothing different. I grew up believing that moving every two years, always being the new kid in school and saying goodbye was something every child experianced. So when that idea was proved to be false needless to say I was a little lost. Change and newness was something I considered to be normal.

Now, here I am, 22 years old, and feeling lost. I haven't held a job longer than just over a year (currently I have been employed for just over 14 months and the company just went through a big merger), romantic relationships are nonexistant (I fear commitment) and I am ready to get the hell out of Dodge.(aka my parent's basement)

I need a change.

So I think may move back to Laramie Wy, finish my degree there, maybe go on to be an RN, and then go wherever the wind may take me. Or something like that...
