The Roman Empire

So I asked for suggestions about what to post about, seeing as with not much going on here, I was running out of stuff to say, and my wonderful mother gave me a suggestion:
The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.
I'll be quite honest...this completely confuses me. My guess is that it's a Monty Python reference which, if so, makes me ashamed to call myself an MP fan because I should know that. I'm not entirely sure how an empire that is supposed to be Roman isn't...if you say you're Roman then you probably are. As for holy, well I'm not about to discuss religion on a public website that technically any of my superiors at work could read. I do not want to open that can of worms at work *shudder* as for empire ummmm have you read about the Roman Empire? They were pretty much a bunch of badasses. The legions of warriors that they had were legendary in their strength and all that stuff. I wouldn't want to start a fight with the ancient Romans and I have modern day technology on my side.
I would love to travel back in time and see what it was like to live in the Ancient times, whether Greek or Roman. I love their history, culture, mythology and even their architecture. Plus the dresses that the women wore? Ugh I wish I could get away with wearing those now!
In other news, I've officially been here in sunny Bahrain for a month today. Wow has a lot happened in that month. I'm not recapping because that would take to long but suffice to say that there have been some incredibly good times and some completely terrible, drag me to the floor out of pure exhaustion and frustration times. I know I'm gonna get shit for saying this but, being an adult is hard! The Navy is like, "Okay! We're gonna give you two months of 24/7 supervised training followed for two months of almost the same thing and then BAM! You still have more schools but we're making you decide everything for yourself now when we've been doing it for you for four months." My thoughts? Oh thanks...I'm living outside of my house and country for the first time ever and you just expect me to know exactly what to do. Roger that. I know, I know, I shouldn't complain, I've got it pretty good, but sometimes it's just so frustrating I wanna scream. But I am lucky, my command is amazing and supportive and even though I'm a newbie here, they've welcomed me with open arms into the CRG-2 family. I had some personal problems go down last night (nope, not going into it, everything's okay I promise just stupid high school type drama :P) and it was affecting the way that I was acting this morning at work. Two of my petty officers pulled me to the side and sat me down to have a private talk and let me know that whatever was going on, they were here for me if I needed help. To have two seasoned sailors like that, who barely know me tell me that they would take care of me if I was having problems was very touching . It makes me feel even better with my choice of duty stations. I could have gotten so many places and I got this one.
Okay, that's all I have for tonight. I'm pretty tired so I'm going to get in comfy clothes and watch a movie and cuddle with my minion who usually lives in my window. I miss everyone back home and I can't wait to visit and then come home in 23 months.
Sleepy love from your favorite MA,
