Thanks XN, I know that was a lengthy read. For the most part I've learned to let go of what I did in the military. I'm no longer covering up the fact that I went AWOL. I have nothing to hide anymore.

Throughout high school I was always a bit of a geek. Though I had friends. The friends were geeks too, but we had fun. Surprisingly, as far as the 'geek' stereotype (which I'm proud of and have embraced at this stage in my life), went, I still had plenty of luck with getting dates in high school. Al...
