I used to post here a lot a few years ago, and I've recently gotten bored with a few online communities I usually frequent, so I thought I'd come back and see what the atmosphere is like nowadays.

I'm from Washington state, although I've lived all along the west coast, as well as in Arkansas, South Carolina, and Georgia. I was in the Army, so that explains the southern states. :lol: I'm AWOL right now, but no one really seems to care all that much, there's not an arrest warrant out for me or anything.

I identify as genderqueer and pansexual. For those of you who don't bother with LGBT terminology, that means that if you saw me getting familiar with someone on a park bench, you'd probably be thinking something along the lines of, "not sure if girl or boy... and I'm not sure if that's a girl or a boy they're making out with right now".

I write a lot, and I read a lot. Mostly poetry. I love Allen Ginsberg, Sapphire, Jack Kerouac. My writing is influenced a lot by beat poetry and the themes of my writing are the themes in my life; punk rock, drug & alcohol abuse, violence, love, sex, longing, depression, anxiety and isolation.

Politically, I'm an anarchist, of a more individualist (or even egoist) stripe. I'm relatively well-versed in most branches of leftist politics, but I got kicked out of high school (for vandalizing and rendering immobile a police cruiser :cool: ), so I'm definitely not one of those arrogant, over-educated pricks who I am sure still frequent this place. :closedeyes:

I'm a really amiable person, but quite sensitive to disrespect or hostility, so just don't be mean and we'll get along fine. :)

Hi, I wish I had seen your post yesterday. Wow AWOL. Keep your head low. Personally I would never join the military. I can't stand the thought of having some drill sergeant yelling at me telling me what to do etc.. But we all have to go wherever life takes us. Good luck.

Please don't use words like "nigga" unless you are black yourself. And even then don't call other black people it if you don't know whether they find it okay or not.

Yeah, enlisting was probably the worst mistake I've ever made in my life. I went through a lot of shitty things because of that one action, but I feel like I came out a stronger person. I look at my friends who are in university, and I still see these innocent kids who take a lot of their privilege for granted. It's upsetting, but I'm glad to have been able to gain a broader perspective.

Welcome to Revleft dude.

You're AWOL huh? What does that mean for you, going forward? Any legal concerns, that sort of thing?

Why'd you go AWOL? Just couldn't stand it anymore?

Sorry for the questions, it's just my first time speaking to somebody in that situation.

You sound like an interesting person.It must be difficult going AWOL. What is the meaning of your quote? Meinen Deutsch ist sehr schlecht. "Just Only though for the working class"

I don't really know, I'm still figuring it out, trying to find work. I'm sort of in contact with some people from my old unit, trying to get a discharge. I'm also just now getting arraigned for that police cruiser thing on the 6th. It's been nearly 2 and a half years, I thought they would have forgotten about it or something by this time. It's a class B felony with a maximum penalty of ten years jailtime and a 20,000 dollar fine. I'm just hoping that my prior military service, never having been convicted of a crime before, and the fact that I was a minor at the time will help convince the judge to give me a lighter sentence.

I went AWOL for a few reasons. Firstly because people tried to bash me a couple of times. Fellow soldiers. I came out on top, but I always felt so bad afterwards. The last time it happened, I started crying immediately after punching a guy out. A few people took me into the latrine, bandaged my fist, and hugged. Told me it was alright. There may be some bigoted, insecure pricks in the Army, but there are also some intelligent, caring people as well. Secondly, military life is fucking hard as shit! Minimal sleep, maximum stress, oppressively hierarchical structure, an atmosphere of farcical ultra-masculinity... it's just a terrible organization to be a part of, a hard lifestyle to lead.

It's a line from a song, it means "only for the working class" :D
