I hate push ups.
Push ups hurt. I dont like being at the dance studio every day of the week. I really liked having thursdays and Sundays off, but our competition is in two weeks. Yay! I was scared, but Im not anymore. We had a dress rehearsal yesterday, and everything went really good despite the really slippery floor and some costume malfunctions. My duet went wonderfully!! The only thing Im having issues with is this one turn in 'Dominoes', oh and theres one in the modern dance too ('Towards the Within'...its my favorite...), but I had that one perfect yesterday so hopefully its not just good luck.
Hmm... Im having an inner-battle with myself over quitting dance... I really do love it, but
1- It's really, really expensive (just this year... theyve changed things since Miss Barbara died... :( not cool)
2- It's really, really time consuming (also just this year)
3- Im not that good (not just this year)
I probably sing better than I dance and I hate singing in front of people, so whats the point? Id prefer to sing in the recesses of my room when no one is home. Although I do sometimes sing for Anthony. I just dont know what to do, because I know Im going to miss dancing a whoooole lot... I mean if Ive been doing it for 14 years, how can you not? Unless you really hate it, which I dont.
Enough about that. I must have looked really hot yesterday because I got hit on way too much at work. This really creepy guy who was obsessed with The Crow was one... He was really weird he would bring up the plexis to ask about a shirt. Isnt it just common sense that the shirt is beneath the plexi? And I have no problem looking in the back if we don't have the right size on the floor, but if you don't even bother to look... I am not your slave, biznatch. So he finally left and Karen, Tyler, Andy and myself were talking about him, when he comes back in and needs a ring out of the case. We all just looked at each other and since Im the nicest little girl ever, I went over. He had really pudgy gross hands and he kept asking me to take them off for him because he couldnt do it. And then once he just stuck out his finger expecting me to put it on for him. I was scared. And then he asked me what my name was and I said 'I have a nametag... and it says Karie.' and he said 'Hi Karie.. Im the Crow, I based my whole life on the movie... how old are you?' '....12...' 'no youre not!' '...17...' 'really?' 'Yes. Really.' 'You don't look it!! Im 19! wanna go out sometime?!' 'I have a boyfriend!!' 'Well I was only kidding!!!!!!!!!! aahhh!!' and then he left and I washed my hands thoroughly.
After that there were some guys who simply wanted tongue rings, but decided it would be fun to waste half an hour doing that because they wanted to talk to me (they came out and said that) and then there was a guy who would unfold all of the shirts I folded so I yelled at him and taught him how to fold and then he asked me out and I just shook my head, so he left. But at least he didnt destroy any more shirts on the way out. And there were some other things, like people staring at me, like one guy walked in and I said hi to him and he just stopped and looked at me like 'wow!' and then walked toward the back but kept looking back at me... then I went to get Karen some fries and when I walked out of the store there was a group of guys and they stared at me and I was going to walk around them but they parted and told me to go through them and I was lovely. (?) So when I got back to the store I asked Tyler and Andy what the heck was going on. It was probably a bad idea to ask them, because they both want to do me (or so ive been told...by them... so i believe it. I mean Andy told me he likes me better than his girlfriend even though he hits me in the eye with posters) But anyway, they got out the Marilyn Monroe book and the first picture of her was when he was still going by Norma Jean. Her hair was the same way mine was, and they pointed out the awesome dot and said maybe it was because I looked like her. I hope they meant it, because shes gorgeous. I am the anti-whore reincarnate of Marilyn Monroe, who will not dye her hair blonde and change her name. It was still a weird day. But then again, the day before that I went to the mall with Lyndsey and some little kids came up to tell me they liked my dress and I was very pretty.
Well, today Im going out with Anthony, his daddy, and his little half brother Jonathon. Then if Im back by 7:30 Im going to Jessica's house for a going away party for her and Karen. Im mad that Karen got moved, I wanted her to be manager at our store. Im gonna miss her, she's so awesome. And I guess our new manager coming in is way worse than Jessica (who I thought was really nice, but no one else did, I guess Im just too cool and didnt piss her off) and Tyler is moving to California, (!! no!!) but hes going to quit before that if shes really a bitch and Andy said he'll quit too (but I doubt it, because hes worked here way too long.) And Vernon is going to quit if he doesnt get promoted and Laila is going to France for a month, so its going to be lonely. At least I'll have Keeley.
WOW. I am done talking now.
