Whoooops. Lovely past couple of weeks. I’ve been spending a lot of time alone, or with Sydney or Emma or Chapman. The alone time is nice. I think I’m getting to the point where I don’t need my friends as much as I used to. I love them, oh yes, but I don’t feel that I need them to amuse me all the time, if that makes sense. Ah yes, and work. Lots and lots of work. I enjoy work, and I especially enjoy the customers (most of them) and Brett (“I’m gonna go grab a cigarette and then you can get one if you want. Are you gonna be okay? Let me know if you need help.” “Brett, there’s no one here…”). I got paid yesterday, so I bought the CD version of John Frusciante’s new album “The Empyrean” ([Oh, what was I thinking, by the way? I was thinking 'Oh man, she would love this. She hates me, yes, but she would love this. If the hate for me outweighs the love for him, then I'll get it back and give it to Cliff. That's what I was thinking, thank you.]) because I’ve been listening to the vinyl all week and it is surprisingly AWESOME. I wish he used less effects on his voice, because it really is quite good and then he goes and makes it all warbly and distorts it and it becomes less good than it originally was. ANYWAY. I also bought “Shelly Duval’s Fairy Tale Theatre” because when I was little I had the Rumplestilskein (HOW do you spell that?) episode on tape and I remember loving it. When I watched it at home, I was overwhelmed by how eighties and ghetto it was, but still very fun in that nostalgic-y way.
I made $75.00 today just to stand around and guard antiques. Yesssss.
I’ll be going on the extension in Europe, as well as some excursions. I wasn’t initially, but I talked to mom about it and she actually said yes! Woot.
Also finally purchased KOTOR II (I know I know, WHY? 
) and have been playing it. I got the Carth scene and felt like crying (not because it was Carth. He was laaaame. “Carth, FOCUS”) and had to tell someone so I told Justin.
I baked bread for the very much loved QB’s Sixth Hour on Thursday, but it took a lot longer for the bread to rise than I had anticipated, so around 12:40 I began getting this stream of texts from the ENTIRE class asking where the heck I was. I showed up at one (LATE) and they were all gathered around the door with their arms folded. I think they forgave my tardiness though once they had the bread, because I received maaany thank you’s and “oh my God this bread is amazing”’s, etc. I mentioned that Jesus endorsed it, but I don’t think anyone but me and my memories thought it was funny.
I also got to hang out with Sydney this week, finalllly, because my work schedule was wonky. We chilled Monday AND Wednesday. Yes we did. We made crepes (too lazy to find that alt code…) and talked and fangirled about the….wait for it….NEW MARS VOLTA ALBUM THAT COMES OUT MAY 5TH!!! Not just our favorite boys, but another boy as well. It’ll be great. GREAT.
Closed with Andy tonight and found out he went to Vietnam this past fall to teach English. ? Andy, you are SO bizarre. Also, Ladytron and The Faint are coming. Sweeet.
I formally asked for Saturdays off at work, and hopefully once Julie hires one more person I’ll get them off and can go to Ren Faire and concerts without worrying. Oh!
REN FAIRE?! I completely forgot about you, sorry. Um, that was nice. Not as fun as years past, of course, but nice. Pauvre Cynthia!Mommy, she misses me so much! :/ I ended up being recruited into working about halfway through the day and walked with Kevin!James mostly. Silly boy. “May 2 I do”, really, I’m proud of you. :D When I went to the joust (Just the second one, because really, I’ve seen that one a THOUSAND times by now, I just wanted to see the new kids ride.) I had to sit front row on account of all my dress, and Kevin!James thought it would be funny to go off-script when the first knight (the good guy…forget his name…) won and went to get the ribbon, K!J said “You may have either this ribbon, or a choice of someone in the first row.” and he smiled evilly at me. Rude! XP Owain missed me even, and tried to give me a free CD (Can you believe it? I don’t own them all yet!), but he was really the only show I got to see because I got too caught up working on accident without actually being allowed backstage.
So, anyway, I think I’ve more or less caught you up. I probably missed a few things, but oooh well.
Church, daddy, work tomorrow.
