Day 14 of Leave

Since we didn't do much today - other than Mason going to work for 4 extra hours and me on my computer talking to idiots on IMVU, I guess I'll go ahead and share some memories.

Let's start with family day at the Marine core museum. We were walking to Starbucks together (yes, they have one on base) and Mason was escorting me (I had to be on the left side since the right side is the saluting side). All of a sudden, a higher class SGT (I believe a captain) came out from Starbucks and IMMEDIATELY afterwards, as he got closer to us, Mason salutes to him like he should. I think he said, "Good morning, captain." and that's how I figured what rank he was. Once the guy was gone, I say to Mason, "Dude... that was totally awesome!" and he goes, "I know!"

Then on graduation, we got Mason a hot chocolate. Just from ONE hot chocolate, he was tweaking out. He had to hold it back of course, but his knees were jiggling and he'd want to talk about everything! It was cute. And very funny. Over one hot chocolate. One.

OH! And... this one is pretty funny too... The same day (graduation), we went to this shop that has military clothing and accessories. We took this elevator to go up and down and when we were going down, Mason tried to sneak in a good kiss. It was a bit surprising because it had been so LONG, you know?? And I didn't know if he would be like that until after a while! Well, I thought there were cameras around (though there wasn't) and I rejected it. But right when the elevator came to a stop, I kissed him on the lips while the door opened, letting a few newly graduated Marines have a look-see at our smooch, before I left the elevator, having Mason walk away by himself. He said he blushed so hard. Hahaha!

This one isn't a memory but it is super hilarious and I need to share it! It happened last night while Mason and I were passed out. I went to bed way before him; around 12:30. I woke up from Mason's sighing. He sighs really, really loud as if he wants to say something. So, I moved him a bit, to see if he would quit and he would somewhat. Then, couple minutes later, he'd do it again. I'd move him some more, he'd stop, prior to doing it some more until out of the blue, he mutters, "Kill!" I freaked out a bit... but I had nothing to worry about because apparently, while Mason was in boot camp, he heard two drill instructors chatting about a recruit and at the end, one of the drill instructors said, "Kill!" as in "Cool" I'm guessing. And yesterday, as Mason was working, Hal and them were making fun of that saying. So... I suppose Mason talks in his sleep now. After he said "Kill" and laid his elbow on my face, he hacked really hard and moaned, "Ouch." That's when I woke him up. And what I mean by waking up, he SHOT awake!!! It startled the HELL out of me!

Thanks, boot camp.

Anyway, that's about it. Mason is asleep at the moment because... we were bickering because... I've been having mental shut downs lately... I guess that's a new thing for me now like how he has headaches all the time now so... I should be the good girlfriend and snuggle up next to him and tell him I'm sorry.

God, I wish I wasn't like this anymore...

Medication - you look better and better each time...
