Well, I had a "fun" day today.

Me and my friend Laura went to a bookstore after lunch. Laura has short cropped hair and likes to wear boyish clothes. She's not gay, though many people assume her to be. I'm the gayest out of the two of us...literally.

I'll begin this by saying I work for a bookstore that ISN'T Barnes & Noble. Despite that, I sometimes pop over there to see if I can score any cheap bargain books and pick up any hard to find books I can't get at my own store ( Read more... )

There was a used bookstore by my house that I used to frequent. One time they called me to come pick up a book I had ordered. When I came in, they couldn't find it. They had just hired a few new people, it happens. Someone went to look in back, and the new cashier and I made small talk while I waited ( Read more... )
