damnit.
i bought a couple quickpicks yesterday because i felt lucky. i didn't win. Pfft, ME, lucky. what was i thinking? :P
LJ cut because i CAN :o
I worked open to close today. when I got there in the morning, there was a note taped to the customer service desk stating that there had been a customer locked into the store after we closed. i saw the name of the person but didn't think anything of it. the day went on and i stayed at the register for most of the time. it was weird that 6 people checked the store for customers and didn't find her. Mike was perplexed and felt embarrassed that it happened, but he didn't know whether or not to be angry, sorry or suspicious. to make a long story short (too late), Adrienne came up and told me that the person who got locked in was someone we went to school with, and she was in the store as we spoke: Caroline Heagerty. i recognized her immediately when she started walking timidly over to me. as she got closer she stopped dead for a second as she recognized me and tried to get things to click. she couldn't remember my name (because she had never bothered to remember anyone unpopular), but she knew i went to school with her, and that was enough to make this whole experience far worse than it needed to be. Mike gave her 50% off everything she wanted to purchase plus a free membership, then left her by herself at the register with me. i said "well...i'm not gonna lie to ya... i heard you got locked in the store last night" and she laughed kinda nervously/embarrassedly, and we joked a bit more about it before she left. i felt kinda bad...i mean the only thing that could have been worse than getting caught locked inside a store and being completely embarrassed about it, is knowing that someone you went to school with (who may or may not have hated you at some point) now knows your horrible little secret and could easily spread the word like wildfire among others you went to school with. and Megan, if you read this before i tell you over the phone (or from a tanning booth), i will fill you in on the details later ;)
it was a good day to work open to close. but i really want some time to myself when i'm not tired or having to watch lindsay to get started on my painting. i mean, you can't buy a $36 canvas for .25 cents and NOT want to paint on it. admittedly i really haven't painted much at all, and the times where i was trying to learn were times when i had stupid teachers in college who were psychopathic, too stuck on their own methods, or just not at all helpful. so i want to try out my own way as an experiment... work from some photos i took of the wolf cubs at the zoo probably. i'm going to have to find my paints though... i dont know where they are, and i'm afraid that i may have left them behind in the apartment. i know there are a few things there that i keep forgetting but i am not sure what they are... i will have to ask nate next time i'm up. i wonder if black and white film is going to be a problem for a color painting... hmmmmmm...
DLed a bunch of new music thanks to my man D on deviantart. Dandy Warhols, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Morning After Girls and Institute. also got some Yellowcard (which i LOVE), All-American Rejects, The Black Mages and Fall Out Boys, along with a bunch of other bands that i simply ended up adding to my previous collection of their songs. good stuff.
thank god for music. even if there are some songs that i can't bear to listen to anymore, i can still find new songs that help keep me going.
