Well relations with the Ex seem to be going well. He is leaving for boot camp in a few days. I wonder when they will send him out to war. That is one of the reasons I elected to contact him. I want to know his account of what is going on over there. It may be months before he goes. As a combat medic, I do think he will go, I just don’t know when. I just couldn’t imagine what I would be feeling if I knew I was going off to war.

Well I have been keeping them since I was in middle school. My inspiration came via Jim Carroll who wrote the Basketball diaries among other things. I have so many now I don’t really know what to do with them all. I let friends occasionally take a look at them, but it is mostly private things and poetry.
I recommend any and all journal keeping. I just wish to point out, for people who enjoy scrap booking; you can find great pictures and other things in magazines. There is no need to buy all those pre cut packaged things. You can even draw things yourself and then cut them out you know.
Well I don’t know if this is a good thing I am doing, but I have elected to send messages to my Ex via my space. I started it out friendly and he responded friendly too, but as I don’t use my real name or any pictures of myself he did not recognize my profile. I just sent him another message with my name on it. I hope it works out well. He was a neat person and I don’t want to get all bitter. If it goes bad well, I can just block him, or make a new profile. I just don’t know. We had such a volatile relationship and multiple breakups.
He is now divorced with a young daughter. He is also going to be a combat medic in the military soon. I have my fingers crossed, but what will be will be.
