what a change from the so far summer norm
i had an interview today, and it turns out that after really thinking this would be a great job, i don't want it anymore. oh well. gonna have to keep looking anyway since the leaving in august thing is yet again a major problem. whatever. i have an application for payless shoes, so we'll see how that goes.
i had a great day today. after the interview i got to hang out with jessica til about 9 something. i was with her since 1pm. (she's home for a week for her brother's high school graduation.) we went to the mall with our friends diana and kaylin which was really fun. kaylin and i got our ears pierced with second holes at claire's (since mine closed up a couple months ago). i actually ended up talking a lot with diana since she and i are both not as skinny as jessica and kaylin are, so we branched off a lot to look at other stuff. it was great. when we were walking around, we walked by this trendy store that had a really tall guy standing close to the front that i knew i recognized. i ran into kevin christopher! it was really cool to see him even though i don't know him that well, but he was really sweet and just really nice to me. so after the that we decided to leave the mall since there was nothing else we wanted to look at. we went to diana's house for a few minutes so she could grab something (she lives really close to the mall that we went to) and then we went to a mervyn's close by. after walking around there for about 20 all of us were really tired. jess and i left to go back to her house in sunnyvale and we talked about a lot of things in general but especially about jocelyn. she found out how exactly how i felt about everything that happened and how i feel about her now, as well as i found out how jocelyn feels or at least talks about what happened and stuff. i must say the conversation only fueled the way i feel now. ... yeah, you know what i mean. ...ugh, whatever.
anyway, we ended up going to visit jessica's uncle bennie who is in a nursing home. he has a disease that he's had all his life that has left him physically as well as somewhat mentally handicapped. i was a little nervous going to meet him, but what a guy! he's so awesome! he was more articulate than from what jess told me. i was really impressed with some of the stuff we talked about. at first there were three other people from jess's family visiting him when we got there, but after awhile, they left and she and i stayed with him for a long time. honestly the time passed and i didn't notice. i really enjoyed seeing him and he has such an amazing spirit, that i left in a great mood. he seemed really sad when we were leaving, so as jess prepared him for sleep (i.e. moving the bed, turning off the light, adjusting his pillow, all that), i held his hand til we left. i'm amazed at him and at how much i feel a part of jessica's family. even mrs. sinclair, her mom, told bennie who is her brother, that i was her second daughter. i swear my name should be catherine michelle moskal lacroix-sinclair. now that i think about it i feel like i'm really a part of the rooker family too. so does that mean my name would have to be catherine michelle moskal lacroix-sinclair-rooker? ahh! too many names! i think i'll stick with my given name and just be a part of their families :) ....ya know, one of the most important things for a person's self esteem is to feel like they belong and today i really felt like i had a place to belong.
after talking to uncle bennie who likes to talk about food, we were hella hungry and went to marie calendar's near by. right as we walked in, one of her friends that's she's known since elementary school walked in right behind us. he was really nice and it was cool to meet him. apparently jess knows his mom and she was waiting outside for him to bring back pie, so jess and i went out to say hi and i introduced myself. she's such a nice simple woman. she was so cute, when we were saying goodbye, she asked "can i hug you?" i of course said sure! finally we sat down to dinner and continued the car conversation about jocelyn, little bit of life, and a little about boys too. (a few specifically) ;)
we went back to her house and hung out for a little while then i went home. i really think that this was honestly the best day of my summer....so far! i am determined to have more days like these and not go back to my overly boring, overly depressing, overly lonely days. in fact jess and i already have tomorrow planned, starting with a visit to uncle bennie to have lunch. :) i absolutely can't wait.
