What troubles your life at the moment?

[Hollock]

I'm slowly losing the last two friends I have (they actually invited me to hang out with them for the first time since July [and even then they only invited me because I accidentally found out about their plans and they felt like they had to][and I'm pretty sure they're only me out this time is because it's one of their birthday and I know when it is] for next week). And I have to wait until next year in collage before I start meeting new people and have the first fresh start of my life (i've been going to school with the same people since I was 3). And while I could probably start talking to people around me more it would be pointless to start a relationship with a person I will never see again in 5 months. I have no social skills, my teachers are telling me they think I'm crazy {not the fun kind}, I just come home and sleep everyday, I'm not doing particullarly well in school (better than last year, but it's not like I'm on the honor roll), lost my job, am slightly overweight, I might have a breathing problem that I have to have a doctor check out, I spend literally all my time on the computer and even that is starting to drive me crazy now. I'll be buying a car in the next couple weeks (with the money saved from my last job) so now I'll have a much easier time getting to work and might actually meet new people, and at the very least It'll kill time (which is all I want to do at the moment). So there's that.

Apathy. I tend to avoid doing things that don't interest me. Yeah, other peoples' problems are far worse, but I've tried every damn thing I can think of to start paying attention to my busywork classes and various obligations, and I've been less than successful. I hate that I can't focus on these things, but I can't seem to change my behavior.

I've had issues with this girl who I've known for the past 5 years. We dated once, broke up and then got back together right before I went to boot camp. However, a couple months after I got out of boot camp, she stopped talking to me for about a month and then pretty much told me it was over because my career wouldn't let us be together even though she said it would be ok before I left. Anyway, it didn't take too long after that for her to get a new boyfriend, so that made me feel even more angry.

The really messed up part is that we decided to stay friends and she wanted me to come visit her at this anime convention going on this weekend in Washington DC, since it wasn't too far from where I'm stationed I decided why not. I spent all of last week getting ready, making sure my uniform looked nice since this would be the first time I've seen her since I left for the military. I ended up driving 3 hours to get there only to be completely blown off by her as soon as I got there. She wanted me to come join them for some event that was going on, but on my way there (seriously about 2 minutes after she told me to come join them) she said that they stopped letting people in and that I pretty much have to wait in the lobby for them. When I asked how long they would be, she said maybe 30 minutes. After waiting for 45 and being sorrounded by people cosplaying I decided to screw it and called her and told her that I got emergency recalled and had to go back to base and ended up driving all the way back.

I guess I feel kind of bad that I lied to get away but I figure if you're having someone drive a long way to see you, they should be more important than some stupid event.

Troubles: I'm currently unemployed and money's running out.

Positive side: My studies are going along well. I should reach near fluency in my current language in the next few months.
