Love While AWOL

Wow. The blogosphere is a strange place. I'm totally in love with the "next blog" button. Today I stumbled upon this blog and was really strangely moved by its contents (not the missing the stuffed hot dog part). It's a strange place to share, the Internet, and it's strange how some folks decide to share and react to comments on what they're sharing. This particular woman, who identifies herself as "A 22 year old woman trying to figure out where to take her life. I have been married to Billy for four and a half years, have a beautiful 10 month old son, and have recently returned to my job as an exotic dancer." tells some pretty intense stories of a life, well, very, very different from my own. Her story about joining the Army and loving the discipline, but eventually going AWOL and meeting her husband on the way to jail is totally weird but compellingly honest. It actually feels like a work of fiction, but a good work of fiction. Anyway...this was how I squandered the time I had allotted to see the Commission meeting - which was so over full they shut the doors and sent me back upstairs. I don't have my headphones to listen online unfortunately.
