Me too! I am also wondering how my mom never managed to pick up on the fact that the Village People were gay. Or Boy George, for that matter.

I much prefer Marines in dress uniform. Guh. KCD was a sailor and maybe that burned me out on the dress white look. But I have fond memories of hanging out on base (before I met him) and dancing with the Marines.

OMFG, y'all.
It's a good thing I am kinda suspicious and really nervous about changing configurations, because if I were not, we'd have a goddamned mess on our hands (may still, but it won't be on me.) Developers gave us the wrong configuration info. Crash and burn wrong. Yikes.
I should eat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used to live next to a Marine...outpost? Whatever. Anyway, I prefer them shirtless on the grounds doing pushups.

I prefer them shirtless on the grounds doing pushups.This is the salient point.
Though, I must confess, the Marines stationed on Barracks Row, which is one street away and 3 blocks south, are so young and unripped, it's not that much fun.
Seriously. I prefer a seasoned man...in pretty much ever way, but especially in looks.
And I don't mean that in a 'To Serve Man' sort of way...which I'm certain is where your mind spun off to.

Because books.
If An Officer and a Gentleman hadn't sold me on dress whites, my little brother in them certainly would have. He looks so official and grownup!

The other week, I saw a little noodle Marine who I swear looked exactly like Beetle Bailey. So adorable! But not attractive to me.

I checked google maps and it seems it was a Marines Recruiting facility. Not sure why the shirtless pushups, but I wasn't complaining.
My sister reports that things are still very tense back home, and upwards of 60 people are dead. My father's trying to get her to stay in the family home, not at her apartment.
And meanwhile, I am cranky because of no sleep and massive headache and may have to duck out to my car for fifteen minutes before my next meeting.
