To: You
Wow, two months have really flown by. For the uninformed: i moved to Grand Rapids in August.
It was a combination decision between needing to get out of my dad's house, and somewhat escape my dad's drinking.
Good news: my dad is on the road to full recovery after discovering AA. He seems happy, and i've heard he runs the meetings now. Honestly, it was either change, or he'd have died.
Back to the point at hand; my living in Grand Rapids.
I'm finally starting to hit a groove. Yes, I still work for 7-up as a merchandiser, I still work in the morning (ass-early). And YES, I still am not the greatest person to be around at 6am.
That said -
I took a job at Meijer, so i'm working there at night. This brings out the calming, sociable, but still pist at ignorance and stupidity Earl.
Not only does it force me to be social with people (which is a plus) but it brings out one of my most important ideals. NO BULLSHIT. I'm not (fronting)! I really wonder what you do, and if you have good stories. I don't pry often, but the point is i want them to feel like they know me, if only on a superficial level.
There's a girl that works at Meijer-
lots of girls, only one i like.
That's really stupid, i think.
She's coming to my party on Saturday.
OH! There's a party on Saturday. It'll be a bunch of good people packed into my apartment playing Rock Band and poker.
Come if you can.
She's coming.
If i said she was the most beautiful person that i ever had any sort of connection to, i'd be underselling it. She's also one of the nicer people i've met in Grand Rapids.
DO i always have to idolize girls?
I was working tonight 6-2am. I work 6am to 2pm 7up tomorrow. I work Meijer 3-8 after that. I got qtf'd with the schedules. She was talking to me, told me she wanted to hang out, but knew i was too busy.
I nearly died. It took every ounce of my being to "keep it cool".
I did.
I almost quit right there, though.
I guess deep down i'm a pessimist. I feel like there's no way this girl i like so much actually wants to spend time with me...like...with me....right?
No, that's the wrong way to think about it.
Yes, she should want to hang with me, i'm a cool guy. Some people think i'm funny, i think they're right sometimes. My not-so-standard guy look aside, i'm not bad looking (i think, again).
Saturday is gonna be a huge party environment, i don't want to make a first move there. Maybe she'll want to hang tomorrow, or the next day.
Here's to hoping.
Thanks for reading.
