New Skin.
I was sitting on the window seat of a bus with some guy who was my boyfriend next to me and Katrina in front of me. We were just laughing away at some joke or other, then my phone rang and my boyfriend picked it up. He was making funny noises down the phone and I was just laughing until I realised that I didn't catch the caller ID. He told me the guy on the other end was a Ronald. I didn't know any Ronalds, so I panicked thinking it was a callback for a job. I snatched the phone away and thought the line went down, then the entire phone switched itself off. So I didn't catch the number and probably ruined my chance of getting the job. The phone switched itself back on and it was on speaker phone. Ronald was still on the other end calling my name.. his sentences were incoherent, so I figured he was drunk and hopefully didn't notice the strange behaviour on my end.
As it turns out Ronald is the manager from HMV in Richmond, where I handed my CV in the other day. He explained to me how I already knew a Joe who works there since he goes to my University and takes History, I say something about Joe. Apparently I had already gone to a group interview/screening test for HMV in Chessington as he was saying, "Due to the state of your CV and your cover letter, I wasn't particular sure about hiring you. However all my doubts were erased as soon as I witnessed your performance at the interview in Chessington." I had no recollection of this screening, but apparently I did really well. Then the phone call just ended and I had the job. As I was speaking to him, I was looking out of the window of the bus which was going through some kind of forest...the route was in some way similar as the 65 route through Richmond park. To the right of the bus were some cyclists competing with the bus, I thought about how dangerous it was given the narrow, rocky road.
I got home and somehow Mia had heard of the news and she had posted it on either LPMB or her livejournal...either way it was some kind of internet blogger/forum. We were celebrating at the house (which I shared with Mia & Kat). For some reason I was now at Reena's house, I was talking to her about the tan she had in some model photos she had taken. Then her parents came in and was saying how it was time for her three year clean. One of her friends that I didn't recognise was also there, and we were slightly lost by what her mother meant by the 'three year clean'. Reena told us to come help her, so we followed. She proceeded to remove her entire skin, I was gasping and just as I turned my head around, I realised that she had more paler skin underneath. So the top layer was like a fitted body suit of skin. She explained how this was the newest craze going around and I was just wondered how people had sex through the body suit if they only took it off every three years, I thought this was inappropriate to ask Reena at the time, so I just stared at the suit. There were visible stitches around the ass area and there must have been holes in the groin region, but I didn't bother looking. Still the idea of having sex with that on freaked me out.
She went to take a shower and was complaining about how the water was too cold against her 'baby' skin. Her other skin was just hanging on the wall drying off from the chemical wash. To take my mind off of the hanging skin, I started telling Reena about my job at HMV, but she just left and now it was my turn to shower (because I was living there, apparently). As I was showering I had a single eye on the skin carefully moving my hands and cleaning myself so I didn't touch the skin which was only a couple of feet away from me. I made every attempt to keep the shower room as clean and tidy as possible so I didn't have to go back in there.

I was told the HMV was in Richmond, but the one I ended up going to was opposite a beach in the centre of some beach resort. This didn't seem to bother me, I mean I could go swimming at the beach after work, what more could I ask for? Ronald was a crazy drunken manager so work at the store was quite easy. I don't recall any specifics about the store while I worked there.
