...what i miss....

besides the obvious--family, friends, home...

there's a lot of things that i miss that i never really thought i would. you know everyday stuff that we all take for granted, but once we don't have it for awhile, then we miss it. so, anyway, what i've missed for the past 6 months--actual no doubt-about-it fresh air~grass~green grass~flowers~any kind of flowers~walking around my room/place of living in socks or barefoot and not having dirty feet~sleeping on a bigger than a twin bed~sleeping under actual sheets and not just some random blanket~actual food--homecooked meals or even fast food~being treated like a human~having a 1st name~not having to carry a rifle everywhere~not having to wear a uniform every solitary day~not having 11 (or more) roommates~not having to see the same people every solitary day~not having to hear someone cuss every 5 seconds~driving my own car around w/ the windows DOWN and not having to walk everywhere i go~not sweating 24/7~actual no crap white milk from an actual cow...not watery white stuff made to look like milk~alcohol (NO, i'm not alcoholic, i just miss it!)~guitar hero~my dogs and the kitty cat "attacking" me everytime i come home~showering in my own shower where a thousand or more haven't already showered~using my own bathroom where a thousand or more haven't already utilized it~being able to sit on the toilet knowing a thousand or more haven't already done so~running/walking outside and breathing normally b/c there's not all kinds of dust and big trucks/buses w/ bad exhausts around...

i'm sure there's many more, but my brain is just fried of thinking so much!

love you all.miss you all.see you all....REALLY SOON!!!!!
